On every rebound it looks like someone spray painted my TV screen bright yellow. How many Michigan players are out there, like 8?

All Michigan needs to do is go inside and drive more.. They should not rely on the 3 ball so often.. It's why they are one of the easiest teams to come back on.. Because once they are cold, that opens a huge window up..

the defense sucks. don't get it. Michigan is schooling em.


Michigan is just much better at the 1, 2, and 3.

Infinitely better.

Michigan has a significant matchup advantage at every position. Offensively and defensively.

Unless Texas can find a guy or two that can shoot lights out, or able to get to the hoop at will, then this one is over.

Michigan is playing great. Taking advantage of Texas inability to cover. Looks like they've played the perfect half. Congrats to them for that.

When Michigan shoots this well it's near impossible to defend. Too many shooters.

Gotta slow it down, make your shots, stay in man and attack in the paint if your shots aren't falling.

I think part of the gameplan was to push Texas hard and wear them down.

Texas at least got it to 13.

They need a run immediately out of the break

you're right. Michigan is obviously the better basketball team. Just trying to hang, see if Michigan cools off any. Can they shoot 60+% all game? Jeez

Texas has Michigan in the paint. Morgan is playing well though.

think you're right. Your coach just said his guys got to keep their foot on the gas, not slow down.

Think I would add, you have 4 or 5 shooters, we got maybe one, if a freshman gets hot.

I wish Michigan would drive more..

No sense in abandoning the 3 yet...but I think we'll see LeVert, Stauskas and Walton move the ball inside if Texas wants to try and guard the perimeter.

Feed Ridley and attack the perimeter on D (best way to get back in it). If you cut the lead. ..slow it down.

Meant that Michigan has them so out-classed on the perimeter, that it really doesn't matter what Texas has in the interior.

Ridley and Holmes have a combined 8 points. I'm sure Michigan will keep packing it in and force the UT Guards to beat them.

Unless a single Texas guard can either knock down some shots, or get into the lane on a consistent basis, then Michigan has nothing to worry about.

Michigan is going to score 70, if not 80, by default. Can Texas score 40 in the 2nd half to make it interesting?

They're looking like they could get to the Final 4.

Gotta give Barnes credit, at least his is trying to mix things up.


2-3 zone coupled with 3/4 court press.


Unfortunately for Texas, Michigan answers.


Holmes is playing hard though. I'd get him the ball as much as possible if I were Barnes. Kid wants to compete.

And you are an ass-wipe, as per usual. Have a nice day.

I'm not the one trying to claim that the B10 player of the year and guaranteed 1st round NBA draft pick should be "easy to cover".

Please stop telling us what you think, it's making us all dumber

Lol.

I'd love to see the two of you interact over sports at a bar with a couple beers
