 We have gotten consistently good looks from start to finish, and that is good offense. Winning games comfortably even when the open shots aren’t following is a good trend.  A wide open three point shot for Z  is a reasonable shot for this offense if you look at the last two seasons and not just the last two games.

I assume the foul was X's off hand on his back?  That looked more like an offensive foul than anything on the defense.  And also another garbage shot that drops.

I guess Michigan opponents will hit more garbage shots than Michigan just because they're going to take so many more garbage shots.

That might be the worst offensive foul call I've ever seen.

I had to watch the replay five times to figure out what they called.  Simpson extended his off arm.  The problem is, the defender was nowhere near him.  I'm honestly not sure he made contact.  It wasn't a push-off; he did it to keep his balance on the drive.

I don't get that call on Simpson - he uses a stutter step and initiates a little hand contact, and that an offensive foul, but you can lean in with a shoulder/head on a drive, and it's blocking? I call BS.

Matthews dribbling the ball usually doesn't end well. The longer he dribbles, the higher the likelihood he turns it over.

Quick dribble drive to the rim, and he's lethal. Running the break...not so much.

Z hitting threes is a nice development!

We're going to win this game on Z three's and Matthews free throws, while Iggy and Teske go scoreless.

Go figure.

That's a strength, not a weakness.
