Michigan basketball snowflake thread

I made the mistake of underestimating coach b for yet another season. The team is finally starting to find it on offense and Doyle is coming around nicely.

Michigan "helped" Minnesota by going 4-18 from behind the arc.  The "help" Minny gave was more than evened out.  Michigan dug deep to pull this one out.  This is yet another step in the growth of a young team still trying to find their roles.  

JB is being quite clever using the 1-3-1 only when he needs it and only in the second half.   I wish the announcing crew hadn't pointed that out, but I am guessing opposing coaches already figured out the pattern anyway.

Significant accomplishment, but perhaps easier than you think ...

Kansas has had apparently amazing recruiting for 20+ years and they've played in a historically mediocre conference. There aren't any other teams that are *regular* threats to make deep NCAA tourney runs. What you have instead are few outlier years (Oklahoma in the late '80s, Texas about ten years ago, Baylor recently ...)

With the players it gets, Kansas shouldn't lose many games in that conference.

Good win for this team.  Overcame a poor shooting day to scrap together a win.  Nice Job boys!!  That Doyle throw down at the end deserves some love!  Woooooooo!

Now a trip to Columbus to play the biggest rival, in front of their crowd, possibly coming off a National Championship win in football (please God no) the previous evening. Buckle up and bring it, gentlemen! GO BLUE!!!

I'm not sure squeaking out a win against a bad Minnesota team means were "finally starting to find it on offense."  Good win though.

JB's style is deceiving. When we shoot above our mean from three we look like world beaters. When we shoot like we did today we look awful. Probably the truth is somewhere in between.

Chatman should have redshirted. He's either not ready athletically, or he's having trouble adjusting to college speed. He's moving at half speed out there (compared to everyone else).
