I couldn't agree more with the above article on the problems with the pick and roll.
However, my biggest concern has just been an overall lack of effort and sloppy play by Michigan these last two games. It was obvious to me that Iowa was getting all of the 50/50 balls. And the pick & roll is a prime example of the sloppy play. It's like the team is just going through the motions, but not really setting picks or cutting hard to the hoop.
We really need an energy guy to come off the bench to get the team hustling. I'm talking about guys like - Zach Gibson and C.J. Lee who weren't the greatest of athletes but brought the energy/effort. Currently we don't have that spark, but hopefully that will change as future teams get deeper with talent. I think Coach K (Duke) did the right thing the other night. His team wasn't hustling, so he brought in a completely new 5 so that his starters could sit on the bench and see what effort looks like.

I hope he knows that he can't do this pre-snap lined up in the slot...

EMU was definitely a classic... Keep up the good work!
I'm a fan and now hooked to your wallpapers. I especially appreciate you having them out on Monday so I can have them on my cpu all week.
I don't know how to get you points, but let me know what I can do to help!
Also, look out for this guy Blue Indy... he's been pushing out some pretty sweet wallpapers as well.
