MU/Michigan Game Thread

[Warrior of Law]

While I do agree with this, it's how we lost that's causing concern. But I agree things should be fine as long as we respond and win convincingly on Sunday.

If Sunday goes badly, fans including me, will get really nervous about continuing our 3 season descent.

Shaka clearly not happy post game. Clearly expects way more from this group. Which is a different vibe than early last year

How did we lose?

VBMG,

I'll answer it for K1. They lost convincingly.   

Their best player was a no show.  Their second best player was a no show.  They looked lost. There was very little energy.  As Dr V said there wasn't a UM fan in the building who was concerned about winning.  Only by how much. Kind of like how we feel when we play a cupcake at home. 

Were there positives? Sure.  Porter, Stevens and Egbuonu.  Can they play better?  Much better. 

There is talent on this team.  No one should be counting them out.  Hopefully they will show it this weekend. 

Thought they would win the game and was dead wrong.  Something wasn't right. Shaka said it best in his press conference, they didn't win culturally first and foremost. 

Looking forward to a much better effort Sunday.  Go MU!

How did Shaka define "winning culturally"?  Ty.

Most of our misses at the rim were guys playing off of one foot.  Whatever happened to gathering, using the shot fake if necessary, and softly laying it off the glass?

How did we lose?

MU's best players failed to show up for their first game against a team with a pulse, and some of the same issues that buried MU early last year - missed bunnies, defensive lapses, lack of offensive flow - reared their ugly heads again.

Hopefully it's just a one-game blip.
