Game 7: Michigan at Nebraska Open Thread

4-17 from three has got to even out

Nebraska is usually the team that gets up volume 3s but it is Michigan that has gotten all the clean perimeter looks (17 3PA out of 33 FGA) but it is just 4-of-17 from deep.

And 2-5 FTs (Livers 2-2).

Hopefully we got the rust off now and can string together a few made baskets in a row this half. Still like our chances.

And the key word there was “clean” like wide open. Those have got to start to fall. If we keep getting those looks and a couple fall early in the second, it could be “Katie bar the door!”

For so many years daring Michigan to beat you with the three was a fool’s errand.

Looking very rusty. The one positive is Michigan has missed 7-8 wide open threes. I don’t expect Franz to start hitting them but I think Livers could and hopefully will in the second half,

Things seemed to be smoother with Brown and Eli in the backcourt.

Looks like my post was a couple seconds late. What Dylan and Silver said.

They’re getting great looks; a few need to fall and it’ll become contagious.

Going to have to find a way to limit Teddy or this will be a nail biter.

Impressed with the Huskers ability to take away HD, he wasn’t able to get much going offensively but he sure was active on the glass.

Happy with Franz being aggressive yet in control. No wonky turnovers or wild drives into no mans land.

Good half consider we’ve been off so long.

Hopefully Blanton doesn’t get hot too. That guy looks tough to stop when he’s going to the basket.

"Watch out—there’s trouble coming!” King James I, who was set upon in 1437 by unhappy Scots, took refuge in a room whose door had no bar lock. One Catherine Douglas tried to keep the door closed with her arm, but the mob broke through and murdered the king. That the king might have shouted, “Catherine, bar the door,” is not too very different from the once-popular phrase. That the expression was brought to America by Anglo-Scottish settlers is equally likely, and for generations rural folk would acknowledge a difficult situation with a shake of the head and “Katy, bar the door.”

My pleasure.

Would have guessed Nebraska was shooting a better 3pt%. Like everyone else has said, we just got to make some open shots from outside. Maybe limit Mike’s minutes a bit this half and play bigger 1-3.

That was one of the nicest Euro Steps I’ve ever seen and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. It was perfectly timed and smooth.

My jaw hit the floor for a second. It was absolutely beautiful.

Greta half from Franz. Good to see him get involved as a featured player without making threes, not sure that’s ever going to come how we hope. He can still have “best player on the floor” impact without it.

Zay needed to see that one go in
