If that GR3 tip in went in that would have been awesome.
Horford was fouled blatantly.
Penn State scored 44 points in a 30 point loss to Minnesota last week. This defense is sad.
and I have been singing the same tune all year
Do you mean that thing other teams do when they do not have the ball? It is not as sexy as a long-range fall away contested 3 point shot, so no, no I do not know what you are talking about.
But why did the early deficit happen in the first place? Terrible defense. It's not like PSU was nailing difficult shot after difficult shot - easy layups for the Slav.
I think McGary is gased. He will be an absolute beast next year when he is in proper shape.
when a Michigan player made consecutive free throws.
Playing great but he has to learn to avoid those fouls 40 ft away from the basket,he will learn eventually
I wish we could blow games open. Seems like we're teetering on the edge of doing it then all of a sudden we're only up by 4 or 6. Need to put opponents away.
The defensive stops needed to mount runs and blow teams out haven't been in this team's repertoire since early January.
UM is not good at the first part...DEFENSE.
We should be able to zone this team and make them do something they can't: SHOOT
Gus compared McGary to Bill Lambier..I like that one
fucking defense
Give him a break - he is non-existent.
Defense is horrid again.
what the fuck horford
no fucking rebounds
Not sure why THJ shot that at all. We had a 9 point lead and boom, 2 possessions later we're only up 4.
It's true. And that lack of basketball IQ from him is one of the reasons we aren't a great team right now.
In case that wasn't a rhetorical question
PSU 57% Mich 38% difference is our reb advantage
What exactly would an insurmountable lead be against Penn St?
None in the 1st half. Obviously more than 15.
not possible. need D to get a lead
I'm liking Levert's energy on defense. Horford, however, looks absolutely terrible on both ends of the floor.
will never understand the lack of rebounding
Tim should take some more difficult shots
Penny Marshall?
Announcers just explained it.
utterly embarassing
WHY IS THJ SHOOTING THOSE?!
Shooting slump continues *furrows brow*
Our shooting will improve. Not going to shoot 36% for the game. Penn St. also won't shoot 53%. alot of their jump shots will start hitting rim.
They shot 800% in the second half.
Timmy seems desperate for that exact shot. Not understanding it....he has a guy half way beat off the dribble and then pulls up into a ridiculous fade-away...
Exactly, he could probably drive to the basket but he settles for a terrible, rushed jumpshot. I just don't get it.
Again, a lack of effort/fundamentals on D turns what should be a double digit lead into a one possession lead.
Q: Coach Beilein, what do you have to do on defense to make sure the worst team in the conference doesn't shoot 60% from the field?
A: What's defense? Is it like reverse shooting?
So much for getting a big lead and taking it easy in the second half.
Tim and Trey -- Playing like boners again in the first half.
