First time I’ve seen an X team roll over. Our defense was bad and the offense even worse. 14 turnovers in first half is not acceptable. We won’t win with Free shooting half hooks and no inside presence. This will not play out well in the BE. Is Swain afraid to shoot?

Michigan's size really bothered us. A lot of guys didn't show up tonight. Tough night for Hunter and McKnight . Foster played well and Freemantle really battled. Having 19 turnovers makes for a long night. Swain was terrible. Not sure how Green gets much time. Swain has no confidence on the offensive end. We tried but Michigan's size and talent was too much for us tonight. Rough night for the Muskies.

We can hear all the All In stuff, but the effort was not there at all. A 17-0 run at the end of game? Can we put 50 lbs back on Hughley?

Agree with this. Conwell, Freemantle, and Free played well - numbers notwithstanding w/respect to Free. MI has the best tandem of bigs in CBB. The team is what it is. They aren't particularly athletic, outside of Swain, Conwell, and Hunter, and have an undersized big as their only low post threat. MI had a great game plan, and played very physically, something X hasn't handled well so far.

This was McKnight's worst game by far He has been out of control more than this year than last. With their limited post presence and having only one guy who can consistently beat you off of the dribble, they will struggle in games where they aren't shooting well from 3.

Happy Thanksgiving guys. Hope everyone is healthy and happy. Make sure you do eat too much. It's going to be a good year
