Game 17: Michigan at Ohio State Open Thread

Ok, the defense needs to get off the bus for the second half.

Two beautiful catch and shoot by livers with full confidence.…hrmm.

DJ Carstensen’s just too tall to be a ref. can’t be trusted. dude should be a stretch 4 in the G league or something

We can’t guard these guys at all

This is a first to 100 type game.

Our shooting isn’t sustainable for the 2nd half, but we also are the team better suited to make some good halftime adjustments and play better D

Other than the zone and Davis on Liddell, I haven’t hated the defense at all. OSU is just really, really good.

Both squads shooting the blood out of the ball. And some tough shots too. Goodness this is some high level hoops.

Rebounding, Washington has had some open 3s he’s missed.

6-10 on “other twos” ugh.

Sure we won’t sustain our three point shooting but OSU also won’t sustain their mid-range shooting.

We’re not going to make 3s at this rate but similarly they’re not going to shoot this well in the midrange all day.

That they are.

Right – agree.

I think the D has been OK, they’re just making some tough shots (and got a favorable whistle a couple times).

We win if DJ keeps the whistle out of his mouth

Big difference between dropping from 60% to 45% on mid-range twos than 75% to 35% on threes.

I feel like we’re getting better looks overall than they are - open 3’s and layups.

Osu is the best screening team we have played by far, we just can’t get around them

Most surprising thing to me is their 2-point shooting and our lack of 2-PT defense

It doesn’t seem like this shooting is sustainable for either side so I’m curious to see where this goes
