Not a tourney team...Westbrook is the biggest joke on defense...making Michigan look like the 76' Hoosiers. Please no more zone.
 


Give up 14 to Illinois at half and now 43????
 

Yea,
but Michigan is a top... wait, they are at the bottom of the league. But, they are much better team than we are. This will be their fourth victory in a row against us.
 



For some reason we match up really poorly with them. Tubby needs to light a fire under their ass on defense, get after it a little bit, move your feet...
 

43 points given up in the first half today and 46 given up in the second half vs. Illinois. That's 89 points! The 14 first half points vs. Illinois seems like the abberation to me. By the way, what ever happened to our swarming full court and 3/4 court defense. Did that really have to leave with Nolan?
 





The Gophers came to Ann Arbor to just play a little ball with the boys from Michigan. Just go up and down the court and get a little exercize. It's a long trip home, so we don't want to get too tired and sweaty.

It's a shame that Sims will have used up his eligibility because I sort of wonder how many games in a row the Harris/Sims-lead Wolverines could win against us. Would it be 6 Michigan wins before we could beat them? 10? 15?
 

its not only sims and manny, goddamn novak and douglass look like potential pros against us....its sickening

Yes. We have nobody who can pressure the ball like him.

Couldn't have said it better. Not even sure any of our guys broke a sweat tonight. It's pretty comforting to know that the guys had no intention of playing hard from the start; certainly made watching it worthwhile. :rolleyes:

In retrospect, they should've just forfeited the game. It would have saved the money that was wasted even making the trip.
