Date Title Body
18 weeks 13 hours ago The offensive rebounding strategy was not a shift in...

philosophy for JB, it was just a one game thing.  JB made the call to have only one or 2 guys crash the glass in order to thwart MSU's transition game...I'm not sure that will be a consistent strategy going forward.

18 weeks 2 days ago Actually, Tim may have been better suited to kick out to Zack...

in the opposite corner as Zack's man rotates over and has both feet in the key.  The angle wasn't great for a kick out pass to Zack if you watch the play, but that is in part because Tim doesn't force Zack's man(Aaron White) to really address him.  What we should see is a 3 for Zack or a pass from Zack to Trey assuming Trey's man(Cartwright) helps on Zack and then Trey has a 3 or an open lane to drive.

Like most of the Iowa game, there was a lack of crispness where UM either seemed a little slow in making cuts. passes or they got impatient and didn't force the defense to put all of their cards on the table. If Tim simply stays with his drive a mite longer, I think White continues to help a little more freeing up the angle to pass to Zack for a clean 3 or Zack passes out to Burke who can then go to work.

If you watch the play in realtime, Tim is too quick to pass to Stu and that is what allows Iowa to reasonably defend this particular exchange.

32 weeks 13 hours ago Just sort of spit-balling here...

I'm sure this issue has been discussed before but at some point in the evaluation of the offense, is the any consideration given to the idea that maybe running the ball into a D who is stacked in the box is purposeful in that the OC/Off staff have confidence that they can score at will while at the same time keep NW(in this case) off the field?

Is it possible that Borges based on what he saw in the first half figured, "hey, we can essentially score on every drive in the 2nd half, sans TO's...3rd and mediums do not scare me, therefore lets try and pound it, work the clock AND put points on the board"?

Quite frankly, I don't think it is a bad thing to work clock if you have 100% confidence that you can score on the other guy...especially when the other guy is giving your defense some fits.  It just seemed like there was such a calm and confidence with the offense in the 2nd half, they seemed in complete control.

Is it completely out of whack to think that part of the offensive strategy was to methodically move through the NW D with the idea that UM was going to eat clock and put up points?

34 weeks 4 days ago I'd drop Illinois down a bit...

their win vs ASU is a nice one, but their game vs WMU is also something that you wouldn't expect from a Top 15 type team.  I'd flip flop TAMU and Illinois...even though they came from ahead to lose at home, Okla St is a legit Top 10 team.  Illinois barely beating WMU shouldn't be rewarded so handsomely.  Sure Illinois ASU win looks great with ASU punking USC but if you make those kinds of comparisons, Michigan should be closer to Illinois since UM punked WMU.

3 years 19 weeks ago I get the UM Hoops concerns and the stats are interesting...

but I think this doom and gloom stuff is pretty odd.

I'm not blind to the fact that UM has issues. But we are in year 2 of a new system , UM is playing 3 freshman(2 of whom were lightly recruited by ANY D-I school), 2 sophomores and 2 former walk-ons on a game in game out basis are logging important minutes and UM's got exactly 2 guys over 6'8, one of whom has had his share of struggles this season.

Regardless of what the stats say, this team is 12-3 and maybe they are overrated...but damn I'll take overrated any day of the week and twice on Sunday compared to what this program has seen in the past.

I also think the stats about the Final Four and Elite 8 teams is retarded...are we really putting this UM team in the same breath as teams that are Final Four or Elite 8 bound? Most fans, are simply ecstatic that this team is even in a position to make the dance...the fact that you are siting stats about UM being suspect in the postseason because of defense, wow...think about what you just wrote. Those stats assume UM will be in the dance...yet were are expressing concern because it looks like they aren't likely to make a run in the postseason.

Well, maybe I should be chastised for lowering expectations, but if UM makes the dance, I'd be more than happy for them to be considered overrated and not likely to make a deep run in March.

3 years 33 weeks ago Brian, Stanford had room for Vogrich no doubt...

they haven't signed anyone in the '09 or '10 classes.  They wanted him bad...as did ND.

3 years 44 weeks ago LLP... had 22 pts and lead his team in scoring the last game of pool play vs. Taiwan. Since the first game where he was 1/8 from 3, LLP has picked things up and is 8/20 from 3, which doesn't include shooting stats from the last game vs Taiwan(shootong stats not yet available). He is averaging just under 12ppg in about 20 minutes of play. Just an FYI.
