Michigan Goes down!

[FearThePups]

When are we going to stop comparing teams to 23 and 24? The level of dominance those teams displayed in the tournament is not normal. And should not be expected to be seen again.

And yet it happened

Not super surprising. Nebraska, while going unconscious from three, also did a great job of forcing the Michigan bigs to switch onto Nebraska's guards. Unsurprisingly Michigan's bigs could not keep up and were consistently beaten off the dribble. What DID surprise me was Michigan's failure to even attempt defensive adjustments. Dusty May just sort of stood there and watched it happen.

We match up well with them, strength v. weakness. Ball, Demary and Mullens would feast.

The national polls are a joke, we are #1 and would be undefeated if we weren’t missing 2 starters against AZ.

At Providence was a trap game but at Seton Hall is what Admiral Ackbar warns of.

Seton Hall isn't a trap game when they're in the conversation for a bid and one of the better teams in the Big East

The anti haiku mojo is strong right now.

Fair enough. Mostly I was just trying to make the Ackbar reference.

And they beat us every time we play them in Newark.

Ball was still over the rim. Good call

They only showed the behind the backboard angle replay during the highlights, so I’ll have to take your word for it.

LOL Freudian slip.

Another thing that made today's result somewhat odd is that Penn State did the SAME thing to Michigan and similarly frustrated them.....so they saw the preview long before they saw the movie.

Michigan is about to experience the meaning of the cliche, "it's easier being the hunter, than the hunted".

 

[Waquoit]

Using the transitive property, I’m confused.

You won't be after we beat Nova.

 

[UC0NN]

Michigan just showed it has multiple ways to lose. Penn state game was close due to a lot of offensive rebounds.

It was pretty clearly still over the rim.

 

[UC0NN]

Michigan is a load offensively, I get that.

Michigan plays hard defensively. But these teams are getting a lot of clean looks against them, Maryland PS WISC. I would imagine we would get clean looks all day and night from what Ive seen.

So I heard from another poster. I just saw the behind the backboard angle which didn’t illustrate said clarity.

That was the main replay that was shown in the game as well. Looked over the rim to me from that. That's what I meant.

Gotcha. Well obviously you’re right about it if they reviewed it and kept the call. I felt like you’d have to see it from the side to know for sure. But I also just saw it the one time, thought what I thought, heard the announcers disagree with the call, then wrote my comment about it. It sparked the “what if that were us” reflex in me. That’s all.

Definition of a trap game is Seton Hall at Georgetown today. The Hall has their Super Bowl Tuesday and Georgetown is coming an absolute stinker

 

[TheChamps990411]

I was assured that Michigan is a juggernaut though

Theyre a really good team. This is cbb, it happens.

I see, just one time would be tougher to tell.

Not to the greatest team ever.

Oh of course I know. But there were folks on the BY making them out to be the ‘76 Hoosiers. Those folks need to relax it’s early January.
