Don't forget the phantom foul on Burke when Thomas took that shot from the free throw line and airballed.... even though noone touched him. That's 7 for the buckeyes plus the borderline flagrant in overtime.

Jeez Beilein, it took you until 4:20 in the 2nd half to bring in a big lineup...
Hats off to OSU. This was a game you wanted to hit the reset button on your Xbox - people making unforced errors leading to turnovers and OSU capitalized on every one of them.
Michigan fanbase love mcgary loonnngg time.
LOL Craft had his jimmies rustled at the end LOL. How's it feel to have the shoe on the other foot? Getting outphysicaled and knocked around.
If we do not learn to play big more often and more quickly we are going to be bounced from the tourney from some Syracuse like team, no questions asked. Size. Big. Lineups. Please Coach Beliein. Take lessons from this near disaster

Great game but man, we need

Great game but man, we need Jordan Morgan back ASAP. Our interior D and defensive rebounding are not the same without him. Ohio seemed to rebound every one of its misses over the last 10 minutes of regulation.

Ironically, the sort of shot
Ironically, the sort of shot
Ironically, the sort of shot that drove many (including me) crazy as the last shot of regular time was the only field goal of overtime. I have much less of a no...no...no... impulse with Trey, though, because he can hit it.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:43 AM |
Yeah, well,
Yeah, well,
We still need to get Larry Brown in here in the off-season to give pointers on inbound pass plays. That guy could practically guarantee an easy basket after a timeout. Michigan? Not so much.

The average points he needs to average to finsh with at least 17 points and 7 or more assists per game to be the first player since Magic to do that...as we get reminded almost as much as we are reminded that Stauskus "isn't just a spot up shooter."

Sometimes. Defensive rebounding needs some work, too - c'mon boys, put a body on someone! Overall toughness - like Beilein said - we don't always drive to the basket with authority. We get blocked a lot on penetration. If you go in there tough, you get the foul more often. Trying to finess it all the time leads to a lot of rejection...

...I've felt our defense is underrated. I've changed my mind. Great game. Ohio is a tough matchup for us, and OSU mostly played out of their mind. But we have got to play tougher on the D end. We can't just wait for the O to bail us out.

McGary also had an extremely good game, and I haven't seen many props for him. 14 points I think on 7 of 13 shooting with 6 rebounds. Not bad for a freshman in a really tough environment. Those 14 points were what Michigan missed in the IU game, no big man made a good impact on offense in that game.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:41 AM |
Actually McGary had 10 points

Actually McGary had 10 points against IU. What we really missed against IU (and again tonight) was defensive rebounding. Morgan does great work on the defensive glass and we're a lot weaker without him.

Thanks for the correction, I must have missed that. i honestly thought we didn't get much offensive production between McGary, Horford, and GRIII in the IU game. I agree that boxing out needs some work for sure.

Dribbling penetration against Craft
Dribbling penetration against Craft
Don't do it. The man is a demon defensively.
Other snowflakes:
1. Our d-rebounding needs to pick up the pace. Way too many second chances.
2. McGary is getting better and better. I didn't think he could handle increased minutes, but he played very well in back-to-back games.
3. Hitting lots of 3 pointers is fun to watch.
4. Utilize pump fakes against shot blocker. Williams and Thompson both elevate with any shooting motion. Pump fakes would draw a ton o' fouls against that combo.

Great
Great
Beating Ohio, I feel great about that. Our defense though continues to struggle. We cannot keep any dribbler in front of us whatsoever, we are constantly getting beat off the dribble and our rotations are slow and lazy. Hopefully this, along with our rebounding improves once Morgan returns. Offensively, about as frustrating because it involves a lot of dribbling, some screens on the ball, and 4 guys standing around, 3 of them behind the arc. Very frustrating to watch, we look like the team from 3-4 years ago offense at times. But you what? We beat the buckeyes, so dammit, I'll go to bed happy! Go Blue!

man...
man...
That was a lot of stress to just hold serve.
Hardaway and Burke stepped up when they needed to, and that was the difference.
I thought Beilein had a pretty bad game. The late game thing is nothing new. They very rarely run a real set there and it very rarely works. I've been complaining about it for close to two years.
The fact that UM only went to a single possession of zone when they were getting owned on that end of the floor is strange to me.
I like the way you think.
