Got mauled on the boards. An opportunity to get closer to setting up a winner take all vs State and win the conference out right next weekend and they have one of their worst games of the year

Team just looks worn down and out of synch :francis:
Nah, they're just not as good as their record indicates and are "lucky" to be finishing the regular season on a three game losing streak instead of six. Per Torvik Michigan was ranked 13th in offensive efficiency before the Minnesota game and the have fallen to 130th since then (last checked before the Netrashka game).

They were picked to finish 9/18 in the preseason and they certainly have middle of the pack talent. Imo, it really is a testament to the coaching staff that they could get a team with mediocre guard/wing that doesn't value the basketball to be a top 3 team in the conference. I'm interested to see what Dusty does with his NIL assurances and guys he develops.

Unfun fact: the last time Roddy Gayle hit a 3 was January 24th and before that? December 29th.

Michigan probably gonna make a deep tourney run this year. They got all the pieces for it. Just need to limit the turnovers and stop blowing big leads...
This was a lie.

Can’t shoot.
That was rough.

I still like Goldin and Wolfe...A LOT...but they were the only guys that showed up.

Y'all on a skid, but what the best thing will be is getting out of B1G play, facing fresh opponents who haven't scouted y'all for the past 4 months. First 2 rounds there should be no one that can defend the 2 bigs, which should be wins to get the confidence back.

I think Illinois wins the B1GT or maybe someone random like UCLA...I wouldn't be surprised if it's y'all tho

The BTT bracket is set and I don't see Michigan beating Purdue again, venue is irrelevant.

They'll also be a popular pick to lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament, but let's see who they draw before forecasting that.

I'll be honest.. I kind of checked outta hoops about 2 weeks ago. I knew what time it was. The positive in all of this, is that it's only year 1 of Dusty's tenure. You know he's gonna play the NIL game and attack the portal hard as hell.

They need shooters, and thankfully in next year's 2 man class, they can both shoot (McKenney and Grady) Throw in a solid portal class, and the # of scholarships going from 12 to 15.. all of that will help.

Very good first half for the team. Whatever they did over with the little break seems to be working. Hopefully they keep it up for 40 minutes, they clearly look like the better team.

Stat of the half: 12 assists and 3 turnovers.

Purdue's lack of depth has been exposed. They're a two man team (2 great players) but their depth is ass. Second game in 24 hours, and y'all guards are actually hitting shots.

Idk why but I think Maryland wins the BTT, but if y'all play like you are today y'all can. I have the feeling MSU loses vs. Wisconsin.
