Llewellyn looks like a lost little kid out there
December 19th, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
He’s not a point guard any more than Nimari is but is being forced to due to roster construction.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Dug can’t sit man. Come on
December 19th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
It would be nice to have a guy or 2 that can play above the rim. Been an issue for many years.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Guarding the ball, rebounding the ball, you gotta take pride in that & battle every time. Where's the pride?
December 19th, 2023 at 8:27 PM ^
Feel like Olivier can get that all day
December 19th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
This team just does not value the ball
December 19th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
Getting stuck in the lane and forcing a shot
December 19th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
Must be at least 10 put backs for them
December 19th, 2023 at 8:31 PM ^
Block out dammit!
December 19th, 2023 at 8:31 PM ^
How many turnovers can this team make. What the hell does Howard do in practice. Sure as shit not practice passing or boxing out
December 19th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
If they don’t buckle down and stop the driving into the lane and start boxing out, this will end in yet another close loss
December 19th, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
Interesting stat - under Howard, in games decided by 5 points or less, Michigan is 3-99.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
That is jaw-dropping.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:35 PM ^
I have to imagine our practices don’t involve any defensive instruction.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
I honestly don’t know what they involve. I don’t see anything that they do consistently well
December 19th, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
dug locked in headband duel for the ages with florida #1. This one is not easy to watch.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
Dug has no help. He's not forcing it. Nobody does anything around him
December 19th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Guys disappear for minutes at a time
December 19th, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
Big shot & board Ollie!
December 19th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Just another game where this team just looks like they don't give a damn on the defensive end of the floor. Does Howard even care that his team puts no consistent effort in on that end of the floor or does he not give a damn either?
December 19th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Michigan in the vaunted late game "all open 3's and layups" defense
December 19th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
That was nonexistent defense at the arc. For those caring about such things.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
So much for defense
December 19th, 2023 at 8:42 PM ^
The fact that you could argue the Ellerbe teams had more talent and better coached than this is something....
December 19th, 2023 at 8:42 PM ^
Of course these fuckers haven’t hit shit from three all night and now they gonna hit catch and shoot threes that was actually defended.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:42 PM ^
Who wants this game?
December 19th, 2023 at 8:43 PM ^
TWill!
December 19th, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
You just aren't going to have a good year when pretty much allow every decent team you play to shoot 50% or greater. Besides Dug's height this team really has the tools as individuals to much better on the defensive end of the floor, they just show no effort on that end for the most part. I don't see how that doesn't fall on the head coach and culture of the team.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
Twill should be auto benched any time he ever thinks about dribbling a basketball.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
We seem to lack closers.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
Has Oliviar or Reed ever ball/head faked? They certainly jump at every opportunity given.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
This network can’t slobber over the SEC any more than it’s doing right now.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
yup, have already corronated Ala the winner...!
December 19th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
Oh for the days of Zavier Simpson penetrating the lane & his teammates knew what to do.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
That was a HORRENDOUS free throw my goodness
December 19th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
Trust in Dug & Ollie down the stretch here on offense. Everybody box out & rebound
December 19th, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Florida has basically done drop coverage on Dug since the early part of the game, if he would utilize that screen he would have a bunch of free throw area shots. They are trying to keep him from driving and baiting him into a lob pass
December 19th, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Bingo! Nice call
December 19th, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
Need someone to help Dug out on O.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
Did TWill deliberately miss that FT? It was off by a country mile
December 19th, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
We’re just awful at both ends down the stretch.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Just some horrawful play at the end of the game. Again and again and again. This is our brand
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Game over. Zero offense down the stretch. Williams can’t guard anyone.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
It's actually impressive every loss looks exactly the same. It's like a basketball version of Nebraska.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Where's our Raiola????
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Another and 1 layup for them. Like the 100th today.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Please just fire Juwan and end this, it's pathetic at this point.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Juwan has got to go. Garbage late game execution every close game.
December 19th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
One constant under Howard has just been poor and disjointed offensive possessions late in close games. Honestly just like clockwork.
