Beat UCLA....Men's Bball hosts UCLA thread

Submitted by B-Nut-GoBlue on
We know this at this point...but our new favorite saying rings true, it's getting late early. A sort of must win on the hardwood this afternoon! Kenpom has us a 3 point favorite. We'll see about that. As it often does with our Beilein coached teams if we can just make the open looks (3s) we can take this thing. Also of preference, not going stagnant like we did Monday night in the 2nd half. Go Blue.

The issue with this team is the same as last year before Walton went ham. They have nobody who can get easy buckets. So if their shots aren’t falling it’s basically impossible for them to win.

Michigan has had the open shots on the perimeter - they need to start hitting them. Also, every garbage shot UCLA is throwing up in traffic or while getting fouled is going in. I guess when it seems to happen to every team that Michigan plays, it's more a function of bad defense than luck, or is it luck, or both?

Usually our team goes thru a half of cold shooting, hopefully that means the second half we’re on fire!! The first half has been dismal for three point shooting!
