I think the talent is there, the problem is the team has no confidence and its getting worse by each game.
As this game was going on, I was thinking about past michigan teams and realizing over our last 3-4 seasons, Jones could NOT start for NONE of those michigan teams. Can't underestimate how spoiled we were at the point guard position. People talked shyt about Smith's lack of size on the defensive end but he was a DOGG that could create his own shot and get people involved. Houstan has been inconsistent and dikkinson can bring it but he's frustrated as well.
To me the struggles right now are on the coaching staff. They have to figure out the Point and wing positon. I think right now Purdue is much better than us, but we may compete for an at large bid towards the end of the season.(possibly)
Seven games in, this rotation is what it is and its not working. Right now Jawaan has built up some clout from previous years and Michigan fans are on on cloud 9 because of the football team so people aren't paying attention..
But over these 7 games so far, watching this team has been Master P shoe level UGLY.....
