Michigan MBB @ Northwestern Open Thread

March 3rd, 2015 at 10:32 PM ^

Its a bit unbelievable that no one on this team (players or coaches) knows how to attack a 2-3 zone. We just stand around the perimiter. Or dribble from side to side. Rarely feed it to a guy at the foul line. No one drives to bring the defense to them so they can pass to an open man.

Just like in football how we don't know how to defend the spread.

It's just so irritating how Michigan is the only team that can't assert themselves against Northwestern...

Why haven't we tried 2-3 zone? Sag off and make entry passes to Olah nearly impossible. Just let someone else beat us then Olah...

It's so hard to watch. Olah is a decent player and we just roll out the carpet for him. Somebody step the fu** up and play him. Foul him....compete. Beilein has got to toughen these kids up better. Our rebounding is absolutely atrocious.

In the arena on him. That makes sense. Have we secured a single d-rebound in the last 10 minutes?

You have to give them credit for trying, but this team wasn't very good when healthy and now it is a mess. How do we consistently miss simple shots by the basket.

Nice shot Irvin last possession...wtf. Offense has gone full, well, the Tropic Thunder quote (slang for slow). Gotta get a good shot here and get back and play some better fucking defense.

NU has stretched their defense out to the perimeter. They are daring us to go inside.

We have one dribble sacred little boy penetrations and a kick back out. Somebody flash high post and make a basketball move.

Spike had a better chance on dunking on both NU players than that alley..

This team has no clue what it means to flash to the high post. They never fucking do that even though its disgustingly open. NU's top 2 defenders are cheating up so damn high when Spike has the ball out front that theres huge opening behind them. Yet we do nothing to take advantage of it.
