3 point marksman Xavier Simpson
Alright alright alright
YOU CANNOT LEAVE JEFF JACKSON OPEN. WHEN WILL THEY LEARN???
Shhhh don’t tell anyone.
Rutgers changing its ball screen defense after Simpson was so good passing out of ball screens in the first meeting.
RU going under every screen and Simpson responds with a pair of wide open threes.
U-M leads 8-6 at the U16.
It looks like UM has really emphasized being tougher on the glass. You can see it.
Simpson 9/17 from 3 since his return
Praying the Pikiell gets spooked and reverts to the hedge
Gotta get the loose balls tonight, we can win this game.
MSU tried a similar strategy and Z hit the 3. Similar result tonight. Kudos. Much more consistent with that shot when it’s left that open.
Jeff Jackson is an elite 3 point shooter. X was average to below average
I know Howard’s philosophy is to establish Teske on the first possession of the game but I’m So tired with watching the same post up play every game which I’d assume has had very low success of finding the bottom of the basket in the last 10-15 games. Would rather see more flow on the first possession then just dumping it to the block
He might. They’ve been really bad at recovering after going under so far, as Bonner correctly pointed out. Likely that they’re not used to it.
Seems part of our identity at this point man. IDK. Lots of good looks Teske is getting, just missing. Like the message it sends. Like that the opponent knows it’s coming. Part of a culture thing Howard is doing. I’m willing to give it more time.
Looks like switching ball screen now
More finishes like that for Teske, plz
Heck of a start for Simpson.
Love those Gumby arms
In control
Very pretty assist from Brooks
