Okay sure but even if it does can we score enough. That wasn’t a good offensive effort either. Penn State took us out of everything we wanted to do outside of Jett going NBA Jam

Hard to say what the worst part of the first half was but I didn’t realize how badly Michigan got smoked on the boards but the oreb adverse Penn St.

I feel like a dejected parent. I’m not mad; I’m just disappointed.

Effort and attention to detail. When this team plays with that, they can be good. Problem is they don’t do it even near a consistent basis especially on the road.

Penn State is a desperate team playing at home in a big/theme game. The fact that we weren’t prepared for this speaks volumes about the team and the staff.

Yes that’s been the biggest issue all season. Effort and attention to detail, well said.

Effort and attention to detail only gets you so far when Jett and Hunter are being put in a ball screen on an island with a completely wide open spaced floor.

I have never seen a player botching his dunk off the rim and getting his own rebound off the miss…

Feels a bit narrative driven and over-reactive. The team was down by one point 16 minutes into the game. Can’t really say they weren’t prepared can you? They can just suck without needing some sort of non-basketball reason as to why they suck.

Yeah, it is just a miserable matchup in that sense.

PSU has multiple Michigan defenders in spots they are never in normally on every possession.

Some obvious mistakes (Dug going under on a screen against Funk) along the way, but it is a tough spot regardless.

I can buy into funnelling shots to Henn but what I can’t buy into is just letting him shoot warm up jumpers. Making no effort to even contest is inexcusable.

153

How many times did they get backcut by him as a passer there, though?

Hunter in every PnR is a miserable match-up. Easily exploitable.

So ummm are we gonna be good next year? (I fear I’ll be reprising this question quite a bit.)

From a betting perspective, many points are the chemistry intangible Barnes and Jace are worth in the second half?

This is embarassing
