My main desire is a resurgence game from Poole. He’s absurdly talented and so important for our ceiling.
Secondary: Livers finding his three point stroke again.
If those two things happen, Michigan’s offense will be rocking and rolling like it was in the first IU game.
Yeah, I know my comment is kinda “well duh, obviously people making shots helps the offense”, but I think both have a very clear ability there that’s better than their recent play. With Iggy for example, considering high school results it might be similar to the Simpson on a less extreme level where early 40%+ results weren’t really indicative of true shooting ability and we see it settle down, hopefully just into the mid 30’s for Brazdeikis.
Kinda early for a Friday game?
Good watch from Jordan Sperber here…
I personally think this is the wrong way for anyone to defend Michigan ball screens.
I’d be surprised if Archie doesn’t change up his approach in the rematch. If he doesn’t, could be a recipe for U-M ball screen offense to get back on track
Mr. Matthews, please go strong to the hole or don’t go at all! No need to look like Bambi in the headlights. And please catch the ball on two feet, take one hard dribble then drive. You are too talented of a player to be making junior varsity errors.
Mr. Brooks, please shoot the jumper when it’s open. If you do so it adds value to the game, make or miss.
Mr. Poole, you are a capable driver if you can’t get off your 3 point shot. Don’t forget you can be a valid drop off creator. Also, fall forward on your pull up jumper when releasing.
Mr. Simpson, make the smart drop off pass if you are buried in the lane on layups. You blew a key layup in the MN game, and be weary of the chase down block on fast breaks. Illinois ate you up on that.
Mr. Brazdeikis, it’s time you learn to make the efficient pass if the lane is clogged. Pass with assertion. Also, please return to your mentality of being a work horse bruiser and draw contact on your layups to the hoop to get to the FT line.
Mr. Teske, continue to stay disciplined on Morgan. Wall him up, and continue moving your feet. We can’t have you in foul trouble.
Coach B, time to sharpen your late game adjustments, especially since you haven’t had to do so at all this season.
FS1 Broadcasts 
Not at the game tonight?
I’m not, we’ll still have full post game coverage though 
(I’ve paid no attention to this, but) have the BTN broadcasts suffered too? I’m still not totally understanding of the dynamics between all the networks.
I find the BTN broadcasts to be pretty good. Their staff basically only does Big Ten games so they are very knowledgeable about the rosters, players, coaches, teams, etc. They can be overly positive (“No one wants to come in the RAC and play!” but … still good.)
FOX uses a national crew that also does Big East games or other commitments. I find that they misidentify players on the court more often than any broadcast I can remember.
Officials for Michigan at Indiana. Larry Scirotto, Bill Ek and Rob Kueneman.
Ah I see, I was thinking pure production quality (graphics, camara work, and whatnot). Yeah if the announcers are mediocre on analysis I’d much rather have ones who at least know the players and their tendencies. Fox football ones were laughably brutal regarding the players.
Screwed up big time while away from home. Phone is at 20% and remote TV app from TV provider stopped supporting remote DVR management. 
Wtf that’s like 90% of why I would want to use that.
BTN is part of the Fox networks
But there’s no overlap between broadcast (studio, games) staff afaik.
I’ve watched a couple of the BTN shows (Big Ten Basketball and Beyond, etc.) since the new Fox deal and BTN’s studio and stuff seem to have remained exactly the same so I believe you’re correct that they operate completely independently in terms of game day stuff.
Be nice to get out to an early lead tonight. I’d be curious to see Indiana’s fight if that happens.
