You guys might neg me for this, but I don't think our basketball team is very good.

What about or mastermind D coord …. Sadi has did a terrible job . Their players don’t even now how to see his man and ball at me time . Yet Phil will praise him probably tomorrow with Sam webb

6-10 now. 1-4 in Big Ten play.
In a couple weeks they're going to go to East Lansing, and likely get hamblasted, probably in front of a CBS national TV audience.
We might be past the Tommy Amaker level here, and approaching Brian Ellerbe zone.

I went to a Jay Smith basketball camp back in the 90s. The 1990's. He was a good player motivator. I see him now sitting behind the UM team bench. For the next Select-Your-Coach Big Ten+ game of the week, can UM roll out Jay Smith as coach? Caveat: Pretty sure Smith has a son on the team already but I can't see how a father/son dynamic, if managed poorly, could ever impact the overall effort level and health of the team as a whole.

Last four seasons:
'20-21 - 23-5, elite 8
'21-22 - 19-15, sweet 16
'22-23 - 18-16, NIT
'23-24 - 6-10 and getting worse
The trend is not good, folks.

Especially the trend of Other team running a layup drill on us in second half .

I went to the game tonight. They closed that first half strong, but were totally flat in the second half. Also I saw like 5 Michigan fans there. Granted there were about 50 Maryland fans also because the school is still on winter break.
not much of an identity with this team, and I couldn’t make much sense of what they were trying to do offensively. They played well on defense but got exposed once marylands 3s started dropping.
I still left the arena happy in my rose bowl hat because NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

The end of game offense continues to be atrocious. Tonight the plan was to attack Maryland’s shot-blocking defensive specialist. It makes no sense unless we’re trying to lose.

We are officially back to the Ellerbe era of Michigan Basketball.

I was originally going to disagree and say "nah this is more like Amaker".
But i think Ellerbe had some incredible players (Blanchard! Crawford!) that he did jack squat with, and that fits Juwan to a T.

Pathetic just PATHETIC...When they went up 12 at half I said to myself wellk thats the game! Like they have ALL SEASON LONG They will find a way to BLOW the lead and lose a close game at the end because this team CANT FINISH, has no Guts no desire they are just going thru the motions now, no leadership! and just is a overall Dumpster Fire...PLEASE Juwan for the good of the Michigan program RESIGN
