Game 8: Michigan at Louisville Open Thread

DDJ never lacks in confidence----which sometimes is the problem

The 4 games in 6 days may be the biggest issue. Adrenaline might have carried us through the Bahamas but we might be feeling it now.

I thought we frequently passed up relatively decent looks earlier in the shot clock to settle for much more difficult shots later.

Yep thought he came in later than expected and out earlier than expected, especially in a slog of a game where he can get them going.

YeA the d looks good but i also wonder if this ville team doesn’t have the horses on offense. They didn’t impress me on offense.

If both teams play to their potential I don’t think they got the horses to hang.

In a game like this, I’ll take overconfidence. Team needed it. (I think it’s more tired legs and tired mentally from Bahamas)

not if it doesn’t manifest and he’s taken 2 bad shots

And not just the games, but the short turnaround on flights as well - and after probably two days of classes.

Because everyone else was taking good shots?

Yeah, we’ve been a mess but L’ville looks pretty ordinary offensively. Doesn’t really look like a #1 team playing at home.

DDJ was fine. He is the key to winning this game.

I thought he put himself in some bad spots on O. Took a couple bad floaters

Yes. After UM missed a few early, it looked like UM became a bit tentative later in the half.

Who’s fault was it that we were scheduled this game? Insanity that we have a 4th game in 6 days (a road game no less), right after getting back from the Bahamas

I am most interested to see if we make any changes coming out in the second half.

This Louisville team has been indisciplined in the past in not finishing games. See Duke and UVA from last year.

But Michigan has to be disciplined and knock down some shots.

I remember streaming that game. In disbelief the whole time, terrified this would ruin our great non conference wins. I can’t believe it was under 20 in a half
