NCAA 2019: Michigan vs. Texas Tech Open Thread

One of most surprising aspects of this game was how thoroughly Simpson and Poole were eviscerated. I didn’t see that coming

I know, but non NBA attrition is a guarantee as well.

A guarantee? You know something we don’t?

Time to move on from Matthews, IMO. Delighted to have him back, but we’ve got quality kids coming in and upperclassmen ready for more minutes. Guys like Castleton and Johns could end up getting less minutes than they are ready for. The future’s bright, and hopefully features better distance shooting too.

I felt like Matthews locked Culver and he still finished with 22 points and 4 assists

Most of Culver’s baskets came when Matthews wasn’t guarding him

Culver also had a friendly whistle the whole game.

Should we check on Dylan? Maybe he finally succumbed to the flu?

Who do you think leaves? Brooks is certainly a candidate.

You think so? Brooks got more mins the last two weeks than he did all season. Quality mins.

44 points. So got wrapped in cellophane and made to perform unthinkable acts in front of a national television audience. Of course that only makes you stronger.

He knows he wants to be a pro basketball player. Even if he doesn’t make the NBA (which personally I actually do think he has a shot) staying an extra year in college isn’t going to improve his prospects

Culver demonstrated how difficult a time Brazdeikis would have defending in the NBA

I thought so, but a lot time was invested in him recently, so maybe no.

Matthews was the best player on the court tonight for um

Already looking forward to and can’t wait for the opener against Niagra in Nov. Going to be a fun year.

It’s clear now that Texas Tech isn’t going to lose to a team that only has two efficient 3 point shooters

I have a feeling NBA GMs are very intrigued by his talent… but he’s just so all over the place at this point that I have to agree with you. MAYBE bottom of 2nd round but probably not

Idk. I think we still have a run in us.
