MBB vs Texas snowflakes

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

We have problems. A lot of them. It's nice to think about them after a win over a power conference team.

Moe Wagner is the best player on this team. 

The attendance was turrible again. The students showed up and did their job.

9pm games on weeknights can blow me.

Not in the face on Saturday, please

I have noticed a change in zak irvin’s jump shot between HS and college. He seemed more upright in HS.

But in college he has adopted a more bent posture (i.e.,flexion between his legs and back at about a 20 degree angle).

(Sometimes, the flexion seems even more extreme than in the above link from 2016).

This posture change could have slowed his development a bit.  To some extent, it could also reduce his height advantage and put his shot closer to the defender.

So I wonder if his bent posture is due to continuing pain after his 2015 back surgery. Or maybe it is a correctable bad habit developed when he did have back pain. To relieve disk pressure on nerves from the spinal cord, many people find it less painful if they are in a bent posture.

Michigan is going to have to win at least two more Big Ten regular season games to make it in the tournament. SMU and Louisville were both tournament locks last year but neither were eligible for the tournament letting Michigan just barely sneak in. This team is soft and needs a leader.
