Guys let’s be fair. We had a 10 or 12 pt lead and X and Poole screwed up as much as DDJ and Brooks did on offense to let it lapse.

eli and ddj was kinda strange
I agree with that.
Izzo also auto-benched Winston for the last 7:30. Kind of changed the dynamic. Almost like a game theory thing to pass on trying to be aggressive by both coaches.

Really? Man I missed the article on that.
Screen roll with teske without feeding him is a problem
Feeling nervous now…
Not nearly as strange as DDJ, Brooks, Johns, Teske, Simpson. Or am I still in my nightmare?

(As a side note, South Dakota St just got eliminated. Them and Mike Daum were a probable 15 seed and possible matchup)

maybe ‘all hands on deck’ strategy?
Does it just seem Simpson missed 2-3 chances to dump it into the post on obvious mismatches or is just me?

I cannot rationally discuss my opinion of benching four of the starting five for ten minutes of the first half with foul trouble in a rivalry game.

None of them will come close to fouling out.

This isn’t helping my state of mind
Well, that is the point of auto-benching.

I mostly agree with the autobench when someone gets in trouble.
Not when 4 of your starters do.

I agree but I think Simpson doesnt trust Johns or Castleton.
Also remember Beilein stated some players struggle to pass over or around size when trying to dump off the ball.
BTW tillman was incredible that first half, Beilein definitely should have recruited him
oue non-Livers bench players got more minutes there than they did in February
Thing that worries me the most is that we won’t use our TOs effectively to surprise their run momentum, we know they will make some runs…gotta limit their effectiveness
