Michigan Basketball vs. Kansas NCAA Tournament Game 3 Open Thread
No respect for that kid.
when he drives the lane. He can't get a shot off down there, especially when he stops.
Here are a few key numbers at halftime for general consumption:
FG% | 3FG% | FT% | Eff. FG% | Off. Reb. % | Turnovers | |
MICHIGAN | 43.75% | 36.36% | 33.33% | 50.00% | 23.53% | 6 |
KANSAS | 67.86% | 50.00% | 0.00% | 71.43% | 33.33% | 8 |
Freeee throws.
A misconception either. Usually you see a team is shooting 67% and say "that has to average out throughout the second half"but it's only so high be ause they are scoring at will in the paint on easy layups... You get my point
if the score needs to be recounted; I'm amazed we're only down by 6...it is six, right? Lemme check...
Our guys go off in the second half and it starts with Burke. GRIII and Tim Timmie, start knocking down 3s. Book It!,
Don't even care about threes. Just attack hard, pass diagonal, be patient. A three of a drive opens up? Bonus and hit it. But it's not essential.
into points by them? Limit turnovers. Get Withey in foul trouble, someone!
Kansas shot 68% from the field and is only up 6
but am I the only one who hates listening to Marv Albert? Sexual deviate stuff aside, he's also annoying as fuck.
The astronaut commercial sucks too. Pretty much everything sucks.
Forget about the pervert, and get ready for us to Beat Kansas
Wnning the NCAA tournament is about matchups, and we just do not match up well with Kansas at all. Not that we can't win this game, but this is like lay-up practice for Kansas.
sure seemed like it, didn't it?
I just don't know what Burke is going to do to get going. He's getting stopped at the point of attack every time, he's missing his heat check 3's, Kansas is perfectly rotating off screens and Burke isn't able to go anywhere.
I think Tim Hardaway Jr should be taking the ball up the court just for a different look and let Burke act as the off ball guard to see if he can some off some screens and hit shots in rhythm.
Neg all of my posts in every thread if you want...it means nothing on this board.
I'm going to continue to post.
Hate on, haters.
Burke 0 points, down 6 at half, I'll take it
I just thought the same thing...but remember 34 points are in the paint. We're not making them take tough shots.
So I don't think that logic works right now because it's not like they're hitting shots. They're getting dunks, putbacks and layups.
Chief
Block out and get a body on someone.
Also, stop playing Horford at Center. Okay, last time, I promise.
...until the next time.

Still...that's a pretty high percentage. Sometimes people just miss. How many bunnies have we missed? This game is going to come down to our guards not turning it over and actually making their shots.
And when mansas shoots 55% the second half and burke only has 4 points but we only lose by 4, you'll take it too?
add that too...
...and usually you'd say "no way they can keep this up."
But with 34 points in the paint, it's not like we're making them make shots.
Let's get them out of the paint and see how the chips fall.
Suits are made by Adidas
Lmao. Good one
Holy crap the Trololo song in this commercial
Minus that early onslaught by Loiusville, Oregon's been playing it pretty even. Not that does a lot of good when you're down by 10.
But, referees have now established precedent. An intentional punch to the balls is a Flagrant 1. How ridiculous. The player should have been ejected!
I would really like to know what's up with Morgan because he should be backing up Mitch, not Horford. Horford gave up the inbound dunk, didn't have the sense to get on Withey leaving Trey on him in the paint which led to a foul and generally hasn't contributed. Morgan at least got to the foul line and a steal in his short time.
I'm fine with Trey's game, it will open up more for him if other guys are scoring. The shots are pretty evenly distributed so far tonight. They need to clean up the defense though, they are lunging and leaving paths to the paint wide open.
If I'm Kansas, I'm wondering why I'm not up a lot more.
I'd like to see the silverlining in a 6pt deficeit..but not feeling it. Come on Boys prove me wrong!
Lets get the second half started off right ... A few threes and a few quick fouls on them.
Damn who is that cutie behind Kerr?
Totally worth a rewind!
Good lord, look at the rug on Marv's head!
Marv and Self can be toupee brothers
Could afford a better rug
Hoping Kansas will start to push it and get frustrated we're hanging around.
Good ball movement. YEah
Nice passing!
that was a good play
Great sequence ... Aaaaannnd 1!!
GRIII goes up strong... good things happen!
Fantastic passing.
Love McGary as a passing big man. Reminds me of Joakim Noah.
D'OH! Missed free throw!
free throws.
And back to the paint for Kansas
What the efffff. How did that roll in??
