Michigan Basketball vs. Kansas NCAA Tournament Game 3 Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on
I'm sure there will be a Liveblog (because why jinx it?) but here's the Open Thread for this one too (because why jinx it?). From a fine season to a really good one, maybe more. Two down, four to go. Why not us? Time to shock the world. Go Blue!

Is Derrick Walton available to run the point for us tonight? Jesus, worst PG play all year in our biggest game against a team whose starting PG has played like 3 minutes because of fouls.

Every time we gets this down to 4 or 6, we shoot ourselves in the foot and it goes back to 8 or 10. Biggest issues so far: Burke forcing too much, Horford playing like Charmin

Where Spike's lack of athleticism is exposed. He's great for what he is but has no business trying to defend or make moves on these guys.

I just don't get it.

I thought Beilein's subs vs. VCU were PERFECT. I truly think it was his best coached game.

I'm not saying this is his worst...let's not be dramatic. But there is NO REASON for Horford to be playing center in this game.

If McGary needs to come out, Morgan HAS to be in the game.

Horford and GRIII are just too soft when they play guys who actually fit their respective positions.

You can't put GRIII at SF because you haven't done it all year. But you CAN put Horford at PF in this game. Or just don't play him at all since you have Morgan.

 

Kansas has gone on two runs in this game. Both with Horford on the floor over Morgan. It's no coincidence.
