They obviously have a really solid athletic advantage, but that doesn’t mean we had to lose. Playing as ridiculously as we played for the first 3/4’s of this game with sloppy passes, blown defenses, stupid shots PLUS them being more athletic than us sealed this. Really frustrating.

Very much yes. I meant Ed Cooley.

Could well be the season if UM wanted to make the NCAA tournament.

What do we do well? A serious question to ask considering our lack of shooting, careless turnovers, and worst in the conference defense.

How many FTs have we gotten since reaching the bonus? How did we not take advantage of that rare opportunity?

The advantage is the rest of the 20 class coming in also

I think he didn’t want to get his 5th

Fingers crossed for 6 turnovers and 6 perfect 3s

Without Isaiah bringing up our numbers, could well be. Which is why I’m not so inclined to blame Juwan. Over the last 4-5 games we’ve watched shot after shot after shot fall wide of the mark. I don’t see the problem tonight being the scheme.

I mean I guess. I don’t think that makes it better though haha.

Wagner 1-8 from three

You guys let’s not make this harder than it has to be. Penn State was 10-0 all time in the black and pink jerseys before this - end of story.

This isn’t some horrible loss that kills Michigan’s chances at the tourney. Massive overreactions if that’s your take. Losses to pretty good teams, even at home, aren’t noteworthy to a team’s resume at the end of the season. If Livers comes back and they can steal a road game or two with a complete roster they’ll be fine regarding the tourney.

At least the pressure is off. I don’t anticipate many wins without Livers back. More importantly, I would like to see if the team is still cohesive and mentally prepped for every game here on in. Whatever we’re seeing now is not a team ready to challenge their opponent. Something (besides Livers) is off.

yes it is a horrible loss, it was maybe a top 5 winnable game on remaining schedule that looks like a double digit loss at home

No one is saying this loss is a resume killer. It is just emblematic of the fact that we aren’t very good and not going to go .500 in the conference.

Ok, cool!

I want to give JH the benefit…but it’s always about results. The goal is to develop and get better. Coach needs to put his assets in position to succeed…hopefully the 5 stars will shine next year. The transition is failing.
