I was talking with my brother who is a college basketball coach and him and I both agree that individually the type of player that will be the hardest for us to guard in a 1 on 1 match up is a big guard who can play the 2 or 3. We have the point guard and center spots on lock down with Simpson and Teske but a big guard could cause problems for Eli Brooks because of his size and Livers because of speed and perimeter skill. Obviously Franz is a big question mark on defense because I don’t think he is the type of defender to hold his ground and stay in front of the ball handler. he is more of a guy who gets tips and deflections on D and knows where to be off the ball. Basically I think Nwora could pose a problem for us more so than stars at other positions on the court and it will take a team effort to keep him in check. No Matthews on the wing anymore.

Thanks for linking… was wondering why I was getting random likes on those tweets
Michigan’s whole success this year is built on the idea of “returning a bunch of dudes”. This is a sport where upperclassmen are rare and valuable. Wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss that aspect of it

If anyone knows how to prep on no rest, surely it’s the guy who spent 19 years in the NBA?
Every single bounce in going their way. Infuriating.
