Michigan

[Shooter McGavin]

That game with UConn was in Boston.

Yes.  I did not mean to imply it was on their home court. 

Worded poorly.

[GoldenEagles03]

Not sure who wins, but I'm guessing the final stays within a 5 point margin of victory for whoever wins.

Look forward to seeing if we "belong".

Feeling the nerves this afternoon.

Josh Clark plays well, but struggles.

I think tonight all comes down to the extra possession battle.

We're top-11 in offensive and defensive turnover rate. Michigan isn't great in either regard, and while Cadeau probably won't stay at his current 37% TO rate, he's never been a great ball protector. We should be able to turn them over and shouldn't be at a terrible risk of them returning the favor.

Rebounding wise, we've been dominant on the offensive glass while Michigan isn't providing much resistance defensively. On the other end, they're good not great on the offensive glass, we're average on the defensive glass (huge improvement over our usual god awful). Can our bigs create extra chances and hang with their front court, or are our numbers inflated by the level of competition we've seen?

If we can win the turnovers and hold our own on the glass, I think we get the win.

Let's pray Josh's performance tonight doesn't look anywhere near as bad as the hand in this image.

I intentionally brought my championship blue today.

They have all lived in Ann Arbor since the 80s, and never had any connection to Marquette until meeting me.

Except for the peninsula

[SoCalEagle]

Nigel activates his glutes, puts in 20+ points.
Fru's going to get a double double.
Josh Clark plays well, but struggles.
Adrian hits several three pointers.
Royce carves up the middle.
Ian leads the bench in EGBs.

MU by 3.

If all this happens we better win by more than three.

Michigan is evil and must be destroyed!

we must change the Lake Michigan to Lake Wisconsin. Or compromise and change it to Lake Marquette.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Alex comes in and plays like a beast scoring 20 points. Clark scores 18 with 3 blocks.

Did you forget who you were responding to?

[wadesworld]

Hope Nigel only took the first half spread and not full game.

Otherwise about what I expected. Fru getting 2 fouls hurt a lot. Pick and roll coverage with him on the bench is...problematic at best.

Those 3s are gonna kill is.

Narrator: Tonight, we did not belong.

Hopefully that changes by Sunday.

This wasn't a list. It was a Choose Your Own Adventure.

Marquette by 3? That meant Marquette players home by 3am.

[CountryRoads]

Thankfully it only counts as one loss.
