Thoughts on MSU part 3
I'm itching for a discussion on the BTT title game tomorrow.
Defensively, I think UM should consider switching all-5 defensively (at least when Ward is not on the floor), and at the very least switching the 1-4 ball screens between Winston and Goins. The combination of Winston's driving/foul drawing and Goins on the pick and pop has been really problematic. If you put Matthews on Winston and Livers on Goins, the switch doesn't leave us in too terrible of a position. Simpson can then shut down McQuaid and switch onto Winston when either Matthews or Livers heads to the bench.
If we go with something else, at the very least I think the goal should be to make Winston beat us with points, similar to how we tend to play against Happ. He's hobbled already, and making him score rather than assist I think gives us a better chance.
Offensively, Tillman's ability to switch onto Simpson makes things a real challenge, and I don't have many thoughts other than hope we win enough 1 on 1 matchups. Maybe try to drive Livers, especially if Goins is on him, to try and draw fouls and/or help.
Go fuck yourself you alt-right cunt.

Can we please block this guy? Send him to south america? I mean. look at the comments, all of them! He is an MSU troll for gods sake. Lets lose him.
And Hey you fucking bastard, we are gonna whip your ass tomorrow you banana ass clown douche.
apologies to all the good douches out there.
Go Blue!!
Didn’t you say that every game during the tourney last year?
But dont take his word for it just look at our last 3 seasons. Lol
M vs MSU on St. Patrick's Day...
What's the worst that could happen?
Sounds like win or lose east Lansing will be full of couch fires.
Ah yes. The wearing of the green.
The point guard battle will determine the winner of the game.
We’ve got to keep it simple....they’re a good team...just stick to our game....get pucks deep...be hard on pucks...
Hopefully Z hits a few 3s like the last few games. That will be yuge ...

Make our threes. Not much else to say. Opens up the floor, then we can work the magic. Simpson threes and Matthews makes the difference. 2 different factors than before. I like our chances. March. Madness.
GO BLUE!!

This is a perfect ending for the BTT title. The two best teams going at it for all the marbles. Good stuff.

I've got lower level seats at the United Center for tomorrow's game. Hopefully, I'm close enough to counteract all of Izzo's working of the refs. I'm going to scream at the top of my lungs on every bad call that goes against our beloved Wolverines. If we lose fair and square, I can deal with a loss. But, the refs having their thumbs on the scale to a 20+ free throw disadvantage against Michigan simply cannot go verbally unchallenged by us fans.
I implore all Michigan fans in the building tomorrow to loudly challenge EVERY bad call. We can intimidate the refs in the same manner that Izzo does. I'm fired up! I haven't made it to a hoops game since the opening round tournament win versus Ok St in 2017. Let's make it back-to-back-to-back!
Go Blue!

I like the one poster who suggested we should make CW play defense.
Question: why are there multiple posts stating that the refs will be neutral. Do we know who the refs are?

If we can play defensively like we did in the first half in game 2 and shoot like we have the last few games, I think we got them.
Fuck state.
