Take a deep breath, shake off that itis and focus

I think we can all agree that it is better to be down by 2 with Mike Smith only having 2 fouls than having a 10 point lead with him going in to the half with 3 fouls.

I feel like sticking Davis’ shooting form on this graphic is fitting

Can not imagine that will go without being addressed at some point

I deleted my original post saying that because I wasn’t sure if I was right in thinking that it was a horrible look. But yeah, it’s a horrible look. We just heard all about how he wants to set an example with his actions and lead. Then he throws a fit and physically throws things when the game is going poorly and he gets taken out.

Not sure I can remember a game with 40% turnover rate in the half.

Well, you made me laugh after that abomination of a half. So props :slight_smile:

Figured I could watch the first half and bug out after Michigan led by 15+ and not subject my wife to two hours of something she doesn’t care about. Whoops.

Shortened training camp. New faces. Foul trouble for Smith and Dickinson. Zone defense. Recipe for an ugly half. Hopefully they right the ship.

I’m sure we can benefit from the zone practice, but at this point we actually have to secure the win. This is not a loss the resume can afford.

Yeah, don’t want to get too extreme here but this would be a loss that knocks you out of the Tournament if you’re on the bubble.

Luckily I think Juwan lights into the guys at the half and we see a completely different team come out of the locker room.

Yeah… Pretty insane. Very much a disrespectful “Go f yourself” attitude there… Kind of shocking

Only good news for Michigan after that first half: I’m not sure it is possible to play any worse yet the Wolverines are only trailing by two points.

UM playing lethargic. No off-ball movement on offense at all. No Z-cuts from wings, you can actually screen a zone (temporarily, but especially at elbow for a 2-3, and up top & baseline in a 1-3-1) but you gotta try. I hope they come out of the tunnel with their shorts on fire.

May end up missing Simpson’s leadership more than his play.
