Game 1: Bowling Green at Michigan Open Thread

Is Bowling Green hitting that many crazy shots? They are basically getting downhill over and over.

Maybe saving for second half. Smith w 10 pts.

Bowling Greenā€™s bigs were a liability but Michigan has had a lot of trouble guarding this super small lineup with Daeqwon Plowden at the five.

BGSU spreading U-M out and getting downhill to the bucket.

The tip in was tough, fadeaway over Livers, a couple tough finishes inside

Looks a top of the MAC projection for Bowling Green might be justified?

Donā€™t like that Twill at the 5 lineup with Turner in there.

Is getting killed at the rim by downhill drives a result of going so small? Or was going small the only adjustment we had and it didnā€™t work? Doesnā€™t feel like it was happening with a true center on the floor.

Do you think weā€™ll see any zone looks this evening? I assume not but; we could field a 2-3 with enormous length.

Would like to see something from Eli

What does Turners presence have to do with the small ball? Heā€™s gonna be Omni present out there

Iā€™m wondering if weā€™ll see a zone soon?

Such a quiet half for Eli so far

Itā€™s too easy for him to score in there with no bigs.

Man these zoom announcers are lagging pretty far behind the action.

Williams is aggressive. Itā€™s not super effective so far, but I like it!

Not sure Davis will do anything to stop it so Dickinson is the only choice and their small ball C was raining 3s

Was not joking when I said Juice Turner would be the best guard in this game. :rofl:

I liked the Johnā€™s look better but I was kind of ok with all those off the dribble threes.

Did the broadcast miss a Franz free throw? Why did he only shoot one there? Or did I miss it?

Me too. Itā€™s one half, but if this is any indication Iā€™m not seeing the breakout offensive star we thought we might need. He has all the tools and will likely be our best player regardless, but I bet it looks similar to last year. Good news is, I donā€™t think the team needs the new bigger offensive role from him to be successful.
