The few possessions we played zone against IU, we got shredded from downtown. Syracuse is really good at running a 2-3 - not every team can look like that. They also have a lot more shotblocking inside.

I won't complain about that
I won't complain about that but the refs have been making weird calls all night. It seems like they call almost nothing by the basket but call the the most ticky tack calls away from it.

Remember how Gtown lost to FGCU? They totally worked Cuse twice this year. It's a weird game, and so much depends upon matchups.
And Crean doesn't match up well here.

It's kind of nice to see IU
It's kind of nice to see IU without the Big Ten refs. You can actually breathe on Zeller or give him a nasty look and not get called for a foul.

Basketball is such a weird
Basketball is such a weird game. Syracuse was playing like crap at the end of the season. I expected them to be bounced early in the tourney. I thought a #4 seed was too high for them. Now look at them.
Oh well. Happy to see Tom Crean go down. He can kiss my ass.

I can't believe that Crean didn't call a couple of his timeouts when his team was obviously having a very difficult time setting up their shots and it was late in the shot clock. Didn't he come up with even a couple of set plays against the zone in his preparation all week?

Indiana had 50 points after
Indiana had 50 points after being awarded 24 FT attempts after averaging over 70 ppg through the season - maybe teams should have deployed the zone more often against them through the BIG season.

Comparing
Comparing Michigan's success in preparing for a very clear defense against VCU with IU's utter failure against Syracuse gives me a little more faith going into the matchup tomorrow.
Beilein is a wonderful x's and o's coach, and I think he will have something up his sleeve to counter Withey the Whomping Willow.

Tom Cream bitching about how they are one of the only "blue blood" programs that had to be built back up from nothing and I enjoy their loss even more. Suck it, Tom Crean! More time to work on your dye job and tan now....
