Game 5: Ohio at Michigan Open Thread

I am appalled at how terrible we are on defense. It is one thing to be out matches physically and just get beat. But we don’t even understand roles, responsibilities, positioning… apparently Eli was holding it all together because this is horrific.

Also bad is our BLOB plays. We can’t even get the ball in let alone run any action!!

Pathetic team to watch.

We sat and watched a talented team centered around Hunter fail last year because the pieces didn’t fit and then they really went out and got new pieces and they might fit worse. I am sad.

Kobe just sits in the corner.

This shouldn’t be this frustrating

We are one of the least athletic teams in the conference. Beilein showed that can work if you can hit threes and have good spacing. We aren’t hitting threes and I think our ball screen game is broken.

Joey Baker has attempted 1 three pointer in about 30 mins across two games

Why even have him on the team

(This isn’t a criticism of Baker)

Then Tschetter plays good D, rotates, bodies, contests and some scrub hits a fade away fifteen footer…WTH…

I dont care what star these guys are. We need to start recruiting attitude. Guys that are dogs. Im sick of having soft teams.

The defense gives up good looks, offensive rebounds and does not force turnovers. When they actually have a good possession someone makes a contested shot. Really tough out there

Nope, not one

Why is Baker a lousy FT shooter?

It’s oversimplifying it to say this is the only problem. But the team can’t shoot. And when you can’t shoot like this, you are a bubble team at best.

The only thing worse than Michigan’s play are the announcers calling the game.

When everyone is playing badly I find it harder to get mad at personnel decisions

We need to start recruiting guards and wings. And preferably ones that actually play both ends of the floor

Not against Ohio in 2012
