Game 17: Michigan at Iowa Open Thread

Sure. The secret is to never have an opinion

Sorry, I flagged this. Once it gets personal like this. . . out of bounds.

Brooks does shell up a lot. So I can see the criticism there. But he does have a quiet confidence about him. He reminds me a lot of maar. Can play downright dirty if you push him enough

That was the epitome of a hot take–ill considered, negative, proved wrong almost instantly. Just waiting that split second to make sure a post is a good idea. . . rarely a mistake.

Or you know, don’t start acting like the sky is falling whenever Michigan is down by 8+ points. It’s easy to just not spew pessimistic statements all the time. I just don’t get how we see people jumping at their keyboards to trash their own team at the slightest sign of anything negative.

What is so hateful about thinking he is the 7th or 8th player on a good team?

Probably the part where you don’t say that, but rather stuff like

I like DeJulius when he’s not taking long 2’s. He’s coming on strong.
I fist pumped when Nunez hit the three. He believed in himself when no one else did. I guess that’s part of the equation that gets you from nowhere to a full ride to a school like Michigan.

Thinking very few review before they click the reply

Or it’s just a prediction of what you can reasonably expect to happen based on the evidence? We ran the clock down when Iowa had four fouls to give. Iowa used a foul with 4 seconds left and still had 3 fouls to give. Dave made a great play in conjunction with Iowa absolutely blowing their coach’s clear defensive plan.

What is so agonizing to you about my post? Whose feelings are hurt by my post?

I know I don’t :joy:
But even I can’t make hot takes as awful as some of the ones earlier in this thread lol

Win the first 4 minutes second half very important.

Even with Simpson back his half, Juwan needs to be quick to put DDJ back in. Don’t play into Iowa’s hands big for big (with Teske and Davis together). Make them play to you. See if Kreiner can defend Franz on the perimeter. Let’s get our best 5 out there

Alright. This is a somewhat winnable game. We have 6 playable players. They need to play as much as possible. 1 of Castleton/Davis and Nunez can’t see the floor.

Some people on this forum act and speak like Brooks is garbage. He is a sound player and good teammate. Really their issue must be with coaching because slamming Brooks does not make since.

So much this :100:

To be fair, Castleton only entered the game due to foul trouble and he wasn’t a complete disaster. Maybe something he can build on.

Yeah, one defensive mishap against a mismatch and a nice bucket and block.

It would be a pretty big divergence from Juwan’s normal strategy to bring Dave in before the 9-11 minute mark. Has he come in before then in any game so far this year?

Z with no points, 1 assist. If I told you that before the game, how far down do you figure we’re down at the half at Iowa? 20?
