Michigan v Arizona gamethread

Are we sure that we're a "basketball school"?

I'd almost rather see Nunez get Johns' minutes. At least Nunez has a neutral impact. Johns has a negative impact when on the floor.

Young team lacks fundamentals. 

We are so easy to defend when everyone just clogs the lane. 

Brandon Johns is playing with NO confidence!

D is terrible

Get John's out and Moussa back in

This team just isn't good on either side of the ball right now 

Why is Johns even out there?  Him starting over Diabate is a crime.

Brandon Johns is not a Power 5 starter. Downvote that shit all you want, he's just not. 

and johns fumbles another away

We stink. I blame Martelli 

We look so bad. No spacing, fumbling the ball, they keep losing people in transition and in their rotations, this has been happening every game with no improvement. 

No identity on offense 

Brandon Johns is horrible. Needs to be benched

Johns is just not good. 

This team, as it stands, blows. 

No offense.

Can't hit an outside shot/3 to save our lives.

No passion.

Hopefully this gets corrected.

Props to Arizona. Very nice team.

Thank God we are a football school

The 3-point shooting (or complete lack thereof) is gonna really hurt this team all season long.

Johns has such bad hands. If he attempted to play football he’d be 2020 Erick All.

0-6 from 3 and a few airballs already.  woof.

It’s going to take a while for this group to get on the same page 

Ho boy, this team has a lot to figure out

This is not a good team right now. Needs lots of work.  Needs chemistry. Needs shooters. Needs defenders. JH had a lot of work cut out to get this team to the dance IMO. 

Just not looking like a team.  Passing is sloppy and no mojo

Wow, the last minute was bad. John's is horrible, another Houston brick.

Johns should never be more than a garbage time bench mob guy. He is just not there mentally 

That highlight before commercial....we have none of that.  So many other squads do.  This will be a tough season unless Jones or a freshman or 2 really, really figure some shit out in 2 months.

Really need Houston to find his shot, Brooks is our only reliable perimeter threat. 

So Jones gets the offense going better than anyone else?  Can we just say that yet?

Minus Brooks, this team looks soft. Just dazed and confused. Dickinson is going to get pushed around all year unless he gets tougher. 

Johns has the worst hands I've ever seen.  Houstan is looking overwhelmed

Houstan you can't possibly be this bad from 3. He must be only the top 10 player who's strength isn't his strength and his weaknesses are in fact his weaknesses. Moussa has the wow moments to offset his flaws, but Houstan is just rough.

it's going to be a long struggle without a good PG. we currently have nobody that can break down a D to facilitate easy shots; ie. layups or wide open 3s.

I'm having withdrawals. Wagner Livers Smith and Brown are not close to being replaced.

Johns is lost in the rhythm of the game. It’s a confidence issue.

The O has no movement right now and it doesn’t help when he passes up open shots.

We are young. 

The fact this team can't buy a bucket from outside now for the 4th game is troubling because they should have good shooters out there.  

Still a really young team but this has been a rude awakening for them.

Also, Johns is just lots right now.

Johns is seriously lacking in confidence. Houstan seems somewhat tentative, as well. Jones is wild. Diabate can't really shoot. That's 4 rotational players. I'm concerned. 

So far this is a bad marriage of Beilein players and Howard’s players. No outside shooting, limited athleticism and a lot of youth that lack any fundamentals. 

I love Hunter, but his Defensive presence has been nonexistent. Team is lacking shooters, can’t catch a pass cleanly, and doesn’t block out 2nd chance points consistently. Overall, just sloppy beyond the normal growing pains. I hope they gain some confidence soon, this may become a blowout. 

Houstan we have a problem. You can’t miss shots as badly as he’s missing. I want him to succeed. But those shots aren’t close. For a reputable shooter, this is concerning. 

Man, Houstan has been dog shit so far and John's is awful, sigh

17 minutes into game before Hunter gets it on the block…

Uh oh
