Michigan Basketball vs. Kansas NCAA Tournament Game 3 Open Thread
Hardaway going to the line for a one and one...
Edit: No, we're down 11 but Tim made one so we're down 10. Only 10.
we just need like 6 stops and 8 makes in a row...
Well. Mitch has played withey even or better and we're still down 10. Screw the experts.
Gr3
Free throws
Thjr
Even adequate performances would have been enough prolly.
It is not our night. We have to work so hard for every rebound, every loose ball. We're not "getting the bounces" so to speak. Throw in our 46% free throw shooting, and that's a big part of it. Things are coming easy for Kansas, and difficult for Michigan. I'm not sure what the assignable causes are, but that's my observation.
- You allow 20 layups/tips/dunks in a game.
- You're a shooting team and you go 6/13 from the line.
...with a 6-8 guy in your face helps.
4:00 to turn it around
This buick encore commercial makes me want to buy a dinosaur.
People are going to look back and think Kansas shot the lights out. No, we just gave them layups and put backs.
But we could be in this thing. That's what is so frustrating.
If we make some free throws, if we play a bigger lineup, we're right there. In fact, I think we're winning.
GRIII is a very good player, but he's just outsized in this game.
A bigger lineup wasn't going to fix anything. It was going to clog the paint for Burke and THjr and pretty much play into what Kansas wants you to do. You're not replacing GR3 with Shaq, you're replacing him with Morgan... and Morgan's not going to be able to keep up with Kansas' 4 or move him out of the paint.
Could you just give Coach B the benefit of the doubt? If he thought that there was anything he could do that would improve our chances of winning, trust me, he'd be doing it. He cares more about that W than you do.
Can McGary be the best big in the conference next year?
Why is McGary the only one that you never have to question his desire.
Morgan and LeVert for GRIII and Stauskas.
We didn't then, but we have to now...
We get a stop and a 3 and it's a one possession game.
The weak press frustrates me. All it does is take more time off the clock. If you're not going to commit to the press, don't do it, let the defense get set and let Kansas get the ball back. We may need those 4 seconds later.
Don't stop believin'.
Okay, now it's over.
next yeat as they polish his game.
8 free throws missed and 3 more potential free throws not taken because of missed front ends of 1-1s. Despite being we would still be in this game if we didn't tighten up and be woeful at the line.
Don't tease, Michigan. :(
They just keep gridning
with all that "NBA" talent we came four wins short of a title. Not bad. When is the Spring Game? Potential is one thing ... execution is another. This is an experience and defense issue. Just too many mistakes at critical times. If someone leaves for the NBA, that s ion them.
