Came up short as usual. Instead of finding ways to win, Michigan always finds a way to lose.

I dont care if Simpson is a Sr...There are at leat 5 better players on offense beside him and he lost this game in multiple different ways...its time to stop thinking hes this big Sr leader...hes a Sr but NOT a leader and hes just fucking Dribbles dribbles dribbles then drives against 6-10 players...stupid decisions over and over..I am so PISSED at this team for BLOWING the great start just absolutely BLOWING it

The sooner Michigan learns to play without Simpson on the floor the better. I love the kid's effort but his talent does not match what he believes it is-either physically or mentally.

Correct. DDJ needs to start taking over immediately. Team will lose these games over and over again with Simpson. He isn't good enough.
It would be fucking awesome if Nunez ever gets going and if Teske stops playing like he's 5 ft tall.

This year will be a replay of last year in these kinds of games b/c of Simpson.

Lovers shot 5/6 (2/3 from 3) in the 2nd half. His last shot *of the game* came with 6:53 left in the second half. IOW, Michigan’s best shooter didn’t even SHOOT a single shot for the final 11:53 of the game. Meanwhile, Zavier went 1-5 during this time. Can’t have that. Another miscue on a day they had thousands of them.

To make it worse there was a possession either late in the 2nd half or early OT where I remember Livers was demanding the ball from Simpson yet Simpson ignored him and moved the ball the other way to Brooks. Livers motioned to Simpson twice like shaking both his hands at him for the ball to no avail
Howard needs to have a long sit down with Zavier about this offense because Zavier hookshots aren't going to take this team very far in the Big Ten or March. This should be a last ditch play on offense

Tough loss gotta regroup again with 2 cupcakes before we go to East Lansing

This just may be the most "we can't have nice things" athletics department to latch on to.

The good news is this Michigan team clearly has the pieces to compete with any team in the country and if groomed correctly will be a title contender
Up to Howard to figure it out.
Personally Im over this current offense that completely revolves around a non-scoring PG. Need to move the ball around the perimeter more. Howards offense is way to reliant on waiting for Simpson to find a lane and then hoping Simpson makes a crazy layup or drops a dime to Teske/Johns. Doesn't seem very efficient to me
