We clearly outplayed them the last 10 minutes but could not dunk or make layups. Oregon is extremely fortunate to have this lead.

That rim and backboard on that side must be broken. Please let the other half of the court be nicer to them!
OMG what a wretched half. Feast or famine on offense this year so far.
Again, neither is on the floor. That’s all we need to know for now.
They’re trying to double pump dunk. Just lay it in!
Its strange how many guys um has that are only comfortable jumping off two feet, it was a major issue for Matthews last year and is an issue for livers and johns too. It just kills your momentum to the rim.

What’s the halftime adjustment? Make your layups?

Not right now. I loved Bill Raftery’s comment: “Those high-percentage shots will kill you.”
Of the schtick commentators, he’s the only one I can abide.

Three missed dunks in a row and then they hit a step back in your face ugh. Luck can’t get any worse.
This game should be no worse than tied if Michigan could just finish near the basket. My goodness.
In defense of Johns one of those dunks was contested and he had to readjust midair which is unbelievably hard to do
Things that went wrong for U-M in the first half:
-Nothing from Isaiah Livers
-Shot <25% from 2 and 3
-Let Mathis get open for four made threes
-Missed three dunks in a row
-Gave up a two basket possession
All things considered, probably feel okay about trailing by 8.

I’m wondering if we’re using a new ball today or something. Guys keep mishandling it when they go up.
But that’s why you lay it in. Not sure why livers and him are trying to take the rim offs. Double pump and lay it in soft. They all count for two.

I was referring to the almost block by Oregon which caused the readjust
Think it’ll boil down to Pritchard in the second half. If Michigan can keep him quiet like that first half, I think they’ll win.
Easier said than done when you’re above the rim
I also think until Franz can show he can hit the three the three guard line up is a must. Dejulius is too key to the offense at this point to not play 25-30 every game.

If we lose do we drop out of top 20?
