Game 8: Michigan at Louisville Open Thread

is it their defense or do we not have creators off the dribble besides X?

franz, livers, DDJ, brooks all look hesitant/scattered

10% from downtown, whew. Cold shooting is contagious tonight.

He gets stripped almost every time they throw it in to him on the block because he holds the ball down by his knees. It’s so frustrating. Keep the ball up!

Tough to beat a packlines without iso scores imo, and I dont think we have one.

Game statistics are very similar except we can’t get open looks or rim shots to drop tonite. Simpson has had some great shots roll out, as has Teske. I want more DDJ.

You need a strong dribble and/or great passing to get through the pack line and there’s not many guys outside of X on our team that can do both.

Reminds me of last year. When only X was attacking the basket, that usually was a bad sign.

Jordan Poole would’ve been nice to have in this one…

UL has the glove on Livers.

The easiest travel call in the world to make and these guys blow it. Unreal.

I love Teske’s confidence. He picked that ball up when he sensed the double team and powered into the triple team.

Teske put ball low and lifted up on the reach

Grimaced at that hook. Could’ve gotten a way better shot there

Michigan is 6-of-25 on mid-range shots and 1-of-11 from 3-point range. Not gonna get it done versus the pack line.

Teske misses a wide open Livers in the corner on that post-up shot.

Teske’s post moves have gotten better under Juwan, but he’s still a bit of a work in progress.

Too many Teske post touches tonight.

i thought this team gave up a ton of threes
