SMU 62, Michigan 51
Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog
Michigan dropped their fourth straight game, unable to Harbaugh themselves past SMU. Their three-point shots wouldn't fall through the Harbaugh; the Fightin' Harbaughs hit just 8/36 shots from beyond the arc.
A nice stretch by Mark Donnal, who finished with 13 points, briefly got Michigan back into the Harbaugh in the second half, only to see the Mustangs pull away late. Caris LeVert couldn't hit the broad side of a Harbaugh, scoring four points on 1/8 shooting. Zak Irvin and Derrick Walton required far too many Harbaughs to tally 17 and 11 points, respectively.
The Wolverines are really going to have to Harbaugh in Big Ten play to have any hope of making the NCAA tournament. With only Monday's game against Coppin State left before conference play beings, they must get their Harbaugh together soon.
Harbaugh.

We just miss far too many shots. That's really it.
December 20th, 2014 at 2:45 PM ^
Seems like this has been happening for 6ish games though. It's worrisome.

Team has zero confidence offensively, does not really know what they're running a lot of the time, and the leadership is not there. Makes them really, REALLY streaky.

I Harbaugh your Harbaugh, though.

I also dig Ace's game recap.

outmanned and is playing at a junior college level. Beilein has a lot of work to do and will prove whether he is the excellent coach we think he is.

Until I see his team go 32-0 and win a national title I WON'T BELIEVE IT

^ thank you. Beilein doesn't have the benefit of a Jalil Okafor every year. It's always a long term process of molding his players and, annually, his team over the year. Beginning this year he lost arguably more than any other coach in the country in Stauskas, GRIII, McGary and SENIOR big men Jordan Morgan, and Horford. What's left are very young players with only Levert and Walton having starting experience, and freshman manning the 4 and 5 positions. Our "star", Levert is still just a kid and just doesn't have that Stauskas level swag (at least yet).
Bottomline, IF Beilein figures this out and somehow sneaks us into the tourney, it willl only prove that he is a baskettball genius. He doesn't need to prove he's a great basketball coach. That's been proven time and again and is not in doubt.

Man if we're this bad, then how bad does Syracuse Schiano this year?

Our offense is missing an inside game so badly. I feel like I haven't seen pick-and-roll pts all season. Maybe if Bacari and Ricky Doyle can figure something out we will still have a shot at a tourney.
Harbaugh.

A shit December clearly means we need to re-work the whole system that had us in the last two Elite Eights and a prayer away from back to back Final Fours.

there is a lot of season left. i would have said the same thing about stauskus, GRIII and mcgary at this point last year.
December 21st, 2014 at 1:11 AM ^
Oh wow, those three were Kobe, MJ, and KD compared to the current crop. Unless a miracle occurrs no one is jumping ship.

These 5-minute scoring droughts seem like hours when I'm watching the games. I just don't... Harbaugh!

Regarding play...we just don't have a guy right now that has that killer instinct. Players looked tentative. Shooting was COLD. Why is Chatman starting? Couldn't even tell he was out there.
Oh well...we are young. It'll come. Hopefully in time for the big dance.

whaever of Donnal's body part, I suggest that the same be applied to the rest of the team. Effort and attention is too inconsistent, and man they take a bunch of bad shots.
