It was a broken play off of an offensive rebound. Trey Burke lost his handle and had to put something up. Do you think losing the handle was part of the strategy?

I like how JB has the rotation going this game: no Morgan, so they go double big with mcgary and Max, then double small to end with Trey and Spike.
they are +10 in those rotations I think

Halftime Look...
Halftime Look...
So, here are some quick numbers -
Michigan:
FG% - 38.2% (13-34)
3PT% - 33.3% (3-9)
FT% - maybe in the second half
Wisconsin -
FG% - 44.0% (11-25)
3PT% - 36.4% (4-11)
FT% - 33.3% (2-6)
Most of the other box score stats are otherwise pretty even, as you might guess. Similar rebounds, assists, fouls, but Wisconsin has a few more turnovers. I think we were building momentum slowly there, so hopefully we start strong in the second half.
So everyone is aware, a quick series of tests on "The Dan Dakich Index" shows it to be about as valid as geocentrism and Piltdown Man.

Morgan healthy for this game, I think we would be killing them. Really wish Morgan had been healthy during this stretch, just to see how we match up against the best of the best at our top level.
That being said, our bench had really proven itself over this stretch

Thank you. No need to hate because everyone else does. Awww, he didn't have our team number one in his viewpoint, God forbid somebody list us No. 2 and not No. 1; guess what, he's right Ohio is playing very well and turning into a good "team".
The whole thing with GRIII and his elbowing or whatever was wierd I'll admit, though I'll also admit I didn't follow the situation and know just what I read here. But c'mon people, relax a little bit and realize that your listening to a knowledgeable, a rarity these days.

He was extremely underinformed about that OSU game, essentially saying that Michigan had a bunch of help winning that game when the opposite was true.

GRIII, 0-2 shooting, 0
GRIII, 0-2 shooting, 0
GRIII, 0-2 shooting, 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 foul
The only positive is the odds of him coming back go up slightly. Imagine a more experienced and polished GRIII next year.
