So many negative thoughts.  I'll get the one positive one out of the way:  I love Michigan basketball.    Beyond that, however....

- this team is painful to watch.  

- Chatman is terrible.   That is a missed opportunity for a redshirt.

- There are so many "young team" mistakes, that its no longer an excuse.   So many dumb things happening, with Chatman's twice fouling of a 3-point shooter leading the way.

- Nobody on this team is ready and willing to "be the MAN" and take over.  Not Caris, not anybody.   I miss Nik so bad.

But it's time to give up on the season. Maybe the worse thing that happened this season was Levert and Zak seeing their names on everyone's draft big board.

Man, Michigan is flat out slow and weak. Whether lack of effort or desire or physical limitations I don't know but they are consistantly beaten to spots, rebounds and lose balls.

Really need some better recruits next year. This system of developing under the radar guy is not going to work all the time. The last two years were great but they maybe am exception. Coach B needs get right mix of players for his system to work.

Losing by 10 at home to the 0-3 Gophers. Our season is on life support, and it's not looking good. The worst part is flipping over to IU/OSU and seeing two teams stocked with young talent.

Just watching the team on my laptop in Denver, it really seems we are missing second-chance rebounds. Not the first ones that come off the backboard but actually possessing the ball and setting up a transition offense.

It's just a team with no experience in the front court, and you can see it really hurting this team right now.  Nobody rolls to the hoop properly, spacing is all off, and the guards can't do enough on both ends to compensate.  Also, Irivin basically disappearing for long stretches isn't helping.

It's an NIT team right now; not unexpected given they fact they are missing three guys picking up NBA paychecks from last year.
