You know their big fella is going to try to will them back at the start of the half here. He’s been cooking his heels with two fouls and is going to believe he can lead the way back.
(I now see this was kind of covered above)

Eli’s not gonna go 0-0-0 in the second half

Hopefully the bench can hold the lead when their shift comes.
The takeaway from spending a week previewing this game was that both teams set up pretty well to defend the opposition.
That was true in the first half (.93 PPP vs. .61 PPP)… now we wait to see if someone figures things out offensively.

They’re all their big fellas. With an 11-man rotation, I don’t think any one guy is a particular threat.
Yeah and they missed a few shots they should be making. I still think this one will end up close

If Michigan wins the first 4 minuets of second half and expand this lead to 15 plus they win this game. Even if can play even in great shape just don’t let them come out and go on 15-4 run and lose all the momentum built.
Make some shots and we blow this open.

Well I feel like we have things pretty much figured out. It’s just that whole “making open shots” thing we’ve got to get down.

Eli needs to get rid of the tights! He never wears those
We’ve had a pretty good plan against their pressure so far. I don’t see that changing.
Michigan shot 35% on twos… I don’t think that qualifies as having the whole game figured out. U-M did miss a few threes late but I don’t think that means UM’s offense is smooth sailing.
U-M is trying to do the right things but it is hard to finish inside against this team.

The entire game hinges new on the next gray call. If he picks up his 3rd early, he will flip out.
I only partially kid.

On the twos, a lot is finishing in traffic which honestly has been a bit of an issue all year.

Yup, and understandable that it would be even more an issue than usual against these guys.
I feel like he’s their heartbeat
