No, it’s to have him on the floor the most
Had six wide open 3s with under 10 minutes to go. Each with the opportunity to tie or take the lead. We made one of them.
Don’t think we got a consistent whistle down low in this game. But that happens on the road.
Feel like we also have the worst luck when it comes to funky shots. Teams always seem to get the bounce on the rim. Probably just my bias though.
Bottom line, make our shots and we win this easily.

Now 4/19 since starting 6/9

Oturu or carr going off is one thing. I can see Michigan losing a game in the manner. But to let Demir get to the rim and post up at will is simply embarrassing.

This L is on us missing open shot after open shot.

Would have liked to have seen some 2-3 or that 3/4 court press just to try to get Minnesota out of rhythm.
Disappointed to see another big get career high on us, but Teske hasn’t given us much senior leadership here.
Oh, Minnesota had 8 commutes fouls in 40 minutes unless my count is incorrect.

Also helps not to take 20 seconds to get a shot off when you’re down 8
And, if we’re being honest, in the last 4 minutes of the first half.

And I would say this realistically ends any hope of a B10 title.
Livers going down, ended any hopes of B1G

Nah. Terrible first half rotation and stubborn, ineffective defensive strategy.

Is it a hot take to say Teske has regressed defensively? Or is this who he’s always been, but has had a better cast around him the last cpl seasons to mask his issues?

What’s Teske’s plus/minus?
14 way tie for first, maybe?
You still had hope of one? I like Howard quite a bit but without Livers this team is borderline .500 in league play and very bubblicious.

Nah not a hot take, he’s definitely fallen apart as a 1-1 defender since Atlantis.

Big ten title hopes were gone the moment Livers went out. I’m just hoping for a .500 conference record at this point.

I mean, you win this game, get Livers back in a week or so and I think a shared title at 12-8 or 13-7 is possible.
