Musketeer Madness

So far,

Miller is MI's MVP so far. He is making Steele look like Brad Stevens tonight. He puts Hugley on Wolf. He may as well put Trey Green on their other 7-footer. X has 10 more T.O.s and MI is shooting 20% better from 3 than their average. X has a chance, but they have to minimize turnovers, and guard Wolf. I nominate Swain.

Swain couldn’t guard a mailbox currently, but Hughley makes Ciani look like DAVID Robinson. Hunter just doesn’t have it against better competition.

This game has been painful. How did we not challenge the out of bounds call? That is potentially a 5 or 6 point swing.

Why are guys falling on their face slipping on the floor?

X guards don't seem to know how to attack the rim. I get there are multiple 7 footers down there but we are hesitant off the bounce at all times. Can't get in the flow when no one is playing down hill or keeping the ball moving.

1. too many X turnovers 2. even if X gets a shot, most are missing, cannot win with a very low score.

How do we lose guys on the 3 point line so consistently?

Excellent D by Hughley, BS call by official. If he did foul, he fouled several bumps before, all instigated by offensive player. Either no call, charge or on the floor.

Michigan is struggling to score, not as much as X but should we figure out the offense, this game is winnable.

Hunter is playing like is 5’8 and terrible turnovers. Swain is not playing like a NBA prospect. We are in trouble against good teams this year.

Not Millers best moment, this team rolled over. How are we stuck with Hughley as a big? I don’t get it. If this is Millers guys, then he swung and missed on bigs.

Agree we have no depth down low. I suspect it would be different without the injury. We didn't lose because we were undersized. We lost partly because the ball just bounced MI way. Whether it is X players slipping on the floor, missing open shots they typically make, shots falling for MI or odd calls benefiting MI, everything favored MI.

Some of the above was also X not finding players defensively. Some of it was lack of effort. Lack of mental execution, etc.

X has a lot to prove after these 2 games. They appear scared on offense. If X plays well in the BE, I'd love a rematch with MI. If X can't complete in the BE, possible after seeing these 2 games, then X won't get another shot at MI and wouldn't want 1.
