Game 14: Michigan at Michigan State Open Thread

No Cole Bajema yet? Was really hoping to see him get a chance to help out

Was just thinking maybe Eli should switch on Winston. And boom, picks him up and makes him miss, despite the off hand push off

If Cassius is draining pull up 3s there is nothing anyone can do to stop that ball screen

Itā€™s just really effing frustrating that he hasnā€™t been THIS Winston against any other team this season.

I was thinking the same thing.

Canā€™t wait for Winston to graduate. Iā€™ll show up to his graduation ceremony to personally congratulate him. Heā€™s been a pain in my ass for the past 5-6 years even dating back to his recruitment

He didnā€™t make pull up threes in any of the three games last year and we couldnā€™t stop the ball screens then either.

Heā€™s pretty phenomenal today! Most days really. I want to dislike him, but I canā€™t. I WILL be happy when he moves on, though!

Winston missing on Eli and making on Simpson had little to do with who was on him. Those were rather difficult shots on Simpson, and a rather easy shot on Brooks that he missed (despite the pushoff as you said)

We all love x but Winston owns him. Eli is also an elite defender. Give it a shot.

Looks like waffle kid still hasnā€™t gotten to the root of his issues yet

U-M is staying in the fight. May not win, but not withering.

I miss when Tom Izzo played Tum Tum Nairn more minutes per game than Cassius Winston

I feel like weā€™re playing right into MSUs hands by playing a big on Tillman. Iā€™d rather have Wagner slide down to the 4 and drag Tillman to the perimeter. Teske can continue to dominate down low without Tillman helpside.

Itā€™s hanst looked great but Iā€™d try zone for a 5 or so possessions

CBS has gone full Izzo-cam.

Eliā€™s got a ceilingā€”and it shows up against the better teams.

And this just in, Michigan staying even with State this half by keeping them off the line.

Another transition D breakdown
