WTF is Irvin doing?  That's not basketball there, that's shit.

I saw nothing of the NJIT game other than the highlights of defensive breakdowns and only the past 4 minutes of this game but things do not look good with this squad.  Complete change from 1 week ago against a pernennial contender (and the week before that against a very solid Nova team).  I wonder what has been going through Beilein's head these past few days. 

Hopefully school is just weighing these guys down lately?!

Doyle needs to finish those.  (Yes, with time I'm sure he will...nonetheless).

I think the difference between Villanova and now is that teams have tape on us. They know to crowd LeVert, faceguard Irvin, play the pass if Spike drives, and dare us to go inside to Donnal/Doyle/Max. EMU is basically playing 4 guys on the outside of their zone and leaving 1 guy camped in the middle to guard the rim. You can't let a team do that to you. Somebody has to penetrate.

Going back to the EMU free throws.  Nobody on the line on the second.  And just did it again.  They are content to make this young team beat the zone and disallow transition.
