GR3 was Brent Petway with a little more skill. I was wrong. They're exactly the same.
we'd be up at least 10 points. That's despite blown layups and a few missed FTs and THJ's poor shot selection.
Time to blow this up in the second half. Props to Mitch McGary!
Probably because our defense is poop. Glad to see us active on the offensive boards today though, that's a welcome change.
Has anyone checked to ensure that GERG is not hiding in the time-out huddles to impart his vast knowledge of motivating defensive players?
Can't really go wrong, but I don't see GRIII bringing the same intensity McGary does. and if we were to make the switch we wouldn't have a spark off the bench
I like Burke, THJ, GR3, McGary, Morgan
if i'm penn state i feel great.. michigan went from being a good defensive team with zack and stu to a more athletic team that can't play d
35% FG
Missed 10 three pointers
57% FT
Rebounds are even
0 turnovers
McGary - 10 and 10
PSU already has 2 scorers in double digits
MMG with the first half double double. Not to bad for a freshman.
Such an up and down team.... Consistancy is bliss
is a great recruiter but a horrible X's and O's coach. with the talent you have on this team, you should have wide open shots all night. I can name tons of coaches who are better at the X's and O's than Beilein
That's weird, because in nearly everything mentioning Coach B they say he's among the best X's and O's coaches in the nation.
That disputes your exact claim. Michigan this season has been the best in the B1G overall out out of bounds plays and out of bounds plays out of a timeout. Moreover, Michigan is (surprisingly) the best team in the B1G on defense out of timeouts. Transition Defense and intensity on half-court defense are larger concerns.
More zone, plz
EAT IT PENN ST!
already has a double double with 10 points and 10 boards. What a game. Without him we are down double digits right now.
Wow.. we get up by 9 and what do you know.. Hardaway and the rest of the team starts settling for pathetic jumpers..
Why the fuck is horford even attempting a jump shot.. he can't even make a layup to go along with morgan
5-17,that likely will improve in 2nd half....with Trey having the ball so much I wonder if THJ is forcing shots because he doesn't get as many touches as he'd like.
That's a possibility, which if true would be odd because early in the season that was his strength was letting the offense flow and picking his spots. Not forcing shots. I still think he's best at generating points when he drives to the paint. However, in that case, he's also better at generating turnovers.
I almost want this team to lose. Despite already losing to this team and just blowing a game against Indiana, they come out cocky as ever and are struggling against Penn State. Someone needs to put the egos of this entire team in check, or else they're in for an early exit in the tourney.
the problem,we are very poor defensive team (check opp.fg%) and poor reb team (that's be ok today),when those 2 areas are poor teams will inevitably be inconsistant.
I think it's both.
Seems like we had our big run when we had Mitch n Morgan in at same time
why GR3 does not take it to the rim more often. He settles for jump shots when he can dribble and be agressive. He obviously has great elevation. If I had his hops, I would attack the rim ever chance I got.
hope that is not the case. He actually took it to the rim off the dribble nicely in one of the last couple games. Can't remember which game it was, but I kept thinking why not do that more often.
We should go 2 bigs. McGary for what he obviously is already doing (double-double in the first half) and Morgan for D around the rim.
2 bigs = much better rebounding...I suspect coach B. doesn't like playing 2 bigs because he is an offensive minded coach meaning with 2 bigs 1 of em has to play on a wing on offense
I think we will know whether we are going to win or lose this game by the first TV timeout. There will be no doubt about it. This team is capable of playing defense better than they are. There is no question about that. They have until right now to start doing it or humiliation will be theirs.
Why the fuck will Beilein NOT play a zone no matter what? is it ego? I am baffled why the guy credited with making the 1-3-1 a viable and tough D has decided that no matter how shitty his defense is playing he SIMPLY WILL NOT USE IT AGAIN.
WE sure could have gone zone to slow down Zeller vs IU
