Michigan NCAA Tournament Game 1 (and evening games) Open Thread
He has not. He has been just a bit off on his shots, but many of them have been good shots. Some of his turnovers arent his fault either.
Burke hasn't been forcing too much, he's just been missing. THJ has been lights out from 3 and McGary is basically 95% of the reason we're up 4 right now
Can Beliein just throw some chairs or something in the locker room? SOMETHING to get these guys excited, because they sure as hell don't play like they are.
2nd half is going to come down to the #3's. Who ever gets it going best is going to win this game.
Don't worry your joy will be sucked away over time from the trolls that linger on the board.
Now if we lose, you can join in mod'ing everyone who says "FIRE BEELEIN!" as 'flamebait' with the rest of us
A few quick numbers:
SDSU effective FG% - 46.3% (11-27 and 3-13 from 3-point range)
Michigan effective FG% - 54.0% (11-25 and 5-10 from 3-point range)
SDSU Off. Rebound Pct. - 23.1%
Michigan Off. Rebound Pct. - 28.6%
Michigan has 7 turnovers to SDSU's 6.
Good offenses move the ball side to side and inside-out with minimal dribbling,we do the opposite and instead rely on Burke heroball and THJ....SD St normally shoots much better from 3 so it looks like another white-knuckler.
That means they'll be a lot more winded than us in the second half. Keep running and dumping it in to McGary.
I can't believe yoy guys are on here happy that we are up by 4 points. We should be blowing these guys out. They are South Dakota State. and who in the hell is checking that Carlson guy?
He averages 9 points a game, in the summit league. I doubt we gameplanned for this to happen. He's just having a really hot half, which happens. He averages 1.4 made 3-pointers a game. Sometimes random guys just have a hot half, you can't really blame us for that.
I bet the gameplan was "let not-Nate Wolters jack up deep threes" which is a good gameplan.
No game is a guarantee (unless you're 1 seed against a 16..unless you're Gonzaga) and champions in the past have had close calls with lesser teams. Not happy, but patient I am...for now
I Love Chuck Barkley... man, they didn't even send me a letter
so, is the world ending or are we proving we're the real B10 champs?
if UM loses, let's get Shaka Smart
What?
