The lengthy NCAA Tournament half time allows for extra fiery takes.
Think the game will come down to 3s. Michigan was 0-of-9 from 3 in the 1st with a few near-misses. Texas Tech was 2-of-8 but banked one in. If Michigan hits a few threes then momentum could shift quickly.
Well thats not the case tonight. Right now this is straight up about heart and mental tenacity. Inexcusable missing layups and throwing Merry Xmas passes.
Dylan I hope youâve been reading and enjoying the hot takes on here over the past 15 mins haha⌠itâs been getting wild
Imo Iggy is trying/has the potential to be that Alpha dogâŚbut heâs not quite there yet. Next year we will see a big step from him.
I know that this team isnât exactly a bunch of sharpshooters but they arenât this awful. I have to wonder if shooting in the bigger arena is really bothering them and contributing to the rough shooting.
SMH at damn Honda Center.
that bank shot by Mooney was absolutely garbage. dude threw up a turnaround fadeaway 25-footer and perfectly bank swishes it? give me a break. thatâs the kinda rotten ass luck Michiganâs had tonight.
That, and a late start (late to begin with, then late-late), tons of stoppages. Just a choppy-ass game.
I really think the âweâre just missing shotsâ take is way off. Take a rewind through all those threes. They werenât good shots, we arenât forcing Tech to rotate at all and are taking contested threes because we donât know what else to do. Clear that the team just doesnât have the skillset to attack this style of D.
Yeah. And I think Poole could eventually do it (he showed a few flashes vs. Fla.) but heâs not quite there either.
Teske and Liversâs threes that rimmed out were in rhythm shots. Matthewsâs was a little forced but not a terrible shot. iggy has forced some looks from three. and X has definitely forced some shots around the rim.
One of Pooleâs was perfectly acceptable as well.
Too my eyes, TTU isnât giving us much.
I think both things can be true. I think it was bad luck that we rimmed out ~3 threes and Tech banks in an absolute prayer. I also think that our offense is overmatched against this defense, kinda like we all anticipated. But not this badly
Agreed. Majority of threes were well-contested and thereâs one guy on the team who can hit contested threes consistently and he hasnât done it since November. Credit to TT
I agree with this. We havenât gotten quality shots at all
As I said up above right when the half ended, we had 2-3 good looks. Not great out of 9 shots.
I had a feeling weâd see one of those back cut plays out of the half⌠gotta manufacture some points
Been away from the thread most of game guys, but just caught up on all the comments. Have to say itâs amazing how little faith is shown in this group given a 30-6 season and some very good players out there. Also, given who we are playing regarding their D. We need the collective positivity and mental toughness here!
EDIT: Go Blue!
Well, GG. See you guys tomorrow.
