Game 13: Maryland at Michigan Open Thread

I hope the starters are coming in.

Feels like Mich should be up 20+ but that lineup :exploding_head:

Would’ve preferred early games to get zeb comfortable

The team’s ceiling would be higher if Johns was the primary backup 5

These Zeb minutes are going to be the reason he hits two huge 3s in the first Final Four game just like Caris did as a freshman, haters!

Was gonna say–the number of people kvetching about Davis while Johns continues to struggle mightily, night in, night out, might want some scrutiny.

Dickinson and Wagner probably shouldn’t sit together. Smith is small enough that teams can sit home on him and nobody else can really create for anyone else or draw enough defensive attention. Or maybe try to run some post stuff for Johns or Livers I guess if you’re really trying to buy time with a 25 second possession or two.

Our own personal Luka Garza.

John’s should be getting all the backup center minuets in this game. What are you talking about Davis can’t guard Scott!! Maybe verse Illinois okay give Davis minuets verse Kofi okay not tonight!!

It’s tough because he needs to be really aggressive as he’s not a good shooter (yet, hopefully) but he seems like an under control guy and I guess in HS was low usage too. But here he needs to be using his size and speed against guards instead of just hanging around the 3pt line not being guarded tight.

Thats why Davis plays

No, the team’s ceiling would be higher if Johns was actually good. Which he’s very much not

Yeah, he can’t guard a 4 in Scott but Scott can’t guard him either.

I love trading baskets with Austin Davis! Def makes our team better!

Now he just needs to hit a three and another layup and he’ll be even on points vs points directly allowed!

Why does Davis decide to shoot no matter what, even when 3 defenders collapse on him…

You have to put Hunter Dickinson back in the game at the last media timeout there… He was getting abused defensively and he had already been on the court for 5+ mins in a row.

Whoops, make it two threes.

It wasn’t a coincidence that Dickinson totaled Davis’ career assists after his first game
