My favorite stat is Pooleā€™s 3-5 from downtown. Hopefully the slump is over.

Michigan turned the ball over once in the first 16 minutes of the first half and then gave it away 4 times in the final 4 minutes.

All Charles?

Simpson had a walk in there.

Iggy needs to learn to finish using the backboard. Also some of his layups seem to miss because the ball comes off with a slight curved spin off his hand, which I believe could result from him being ambidextrous (he might have a different spin with the left hand vs right hand). Iggy should study Ginobili highligts being crafty finishing in the lane. He definitely can develop those skills.

Amazing that this team out up 84 agst UNC.
With iggy and charles struggling, this is a team that cant score.

Teams are figuring Iggy out. His moves have gotten predicatable and he isnā€™t going to beat teams with Jordan Poole or Charles Matthews type isos where heā€™s doing combo moves. Heā€™s either trying to shoot it or bulldoze to his right or left hand. In transition itā€™s usually that euro-step. He needs to diversify his game. I know he has more in the bag but heā€™s never had to use anything else because he could get away with doing just those up until Big Ten play basically.

Charles has deftly taken the ā€œGood Irvin - Bad Irvinā€ mantle and ran with it during his career.

Would like to see M go back to feeding Teske in the post, like a vintage Beilein team does.

Very reminiscent of Irvin

Iggy is next in line for that crownā€¦

Physically gifts not really prominent with Iggy. Has trouble with length and vision as competition and scouting got better.

@chezaroo was calling this out in real-time in Nov/Dec

I honestly think Iggy has more Zak Irvin moments than Matthews personally. Because I know Matthews has the ability to literally takeover games on both ends like that 2nd half vs Wisconsin. Irvin never had that imo and Iggy hasnā€™t shown it either although I think he could offensively if he gets better at mixing up his moves.
