Big brain move by DDJ to go with the X dreads. Now teams will think heā€™s X and go under the ball screens on him

Our defense is suffocating right now. Credit once again to Teske for that

Good to get to the TV timeout without a make up call. Usually the refs forget by the time the timeout is over

Isnā€™t that a hold on Harms?

Well, no complaints about the officiating so far (knock on wood).

Purdue is 3-of-15 on 2-pointers to open the game. Michiganā€™s interior defense much improved from the first meeting.

This DeJulius (w/ Livers and w/o Simpson) bench lineup has been very intriguing over the last couple of games when Livers is in the lineup.

One underrated element of DeJuliusā€™ recent success in the ball screen game is Juwan Howardā€™s trust in lineups without Zavier Simpson but with Isaiah Livers. The majority of DeJuliusā€™ ball screen assists come with Simpson on the bench, naturally, but you can see a comfort with DeJulius running that reserve unit.

Michigan can spread the floor around DeJulius with multiple catch-and-shoot and catch-and-drive threats to provide a different look, and DeJulius is far more comfortable operating as the primary handler.

Is Michigan a better offensive team with Livers on the floor?
