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?

Right. If he plays backup 5 minutes I don’t care. But I don’t want to see him or Davian playing 4

The biggest frustration for me in the first half…2 fts for Michigan to 12 for Iowa

Have we mixed in any 2-3?
Just got home and found the game.
Can we try to clog the paint and limit interior looks?

I’d rather die by Iowa hitting julpdhots then the death by a thousand papercuts/Garza Kriener points in the paint.

I see fouls are 3-8 what’s new :man_facepalming:

Man… I miss skiing. Used to go to Park City every year with some guys, but people scattered after college and it hasn’t happened for a couple years. I gotta get back into it. The price though…

I shall acknowledge that that was, in fact, a foul.

those types of fouls are smart but disgusting

It’s tough. I live in Juneau and the city owns and operates an independent ski area. $58/day or $450/season pass. No high speed quads but awesome terrain and no lines!

Good result after Garza got unbelievably deep on Teske in transition. That can’t happen.

I always wonder if timeouts are worth that one posession that might not even end up in a turnover.
