Ball movement needs to be much better in the second half.

We are also going to need some iron men.

The scoring pace is where it needs to be but we are just so limited that it is hard to be confident.

We may have already sealed our fate at the FT in the first half.

Disappointing first half after up 13-3 to be down, but on the bright side only down 3 after going 3/11 on FTs (including some front ends).

Think RU will win and start hitting FTs. Refs not calling many fouls.

Can’t see RU losing a 4th home game, but Michigan historically owns RU 15-1.

Tonight, need Cliff to play as much as possible. Completely different team when he’s off the floor.

All things considered, Pike is a wizard for getting us this far. Losing Geo and Harper was going to eventually show up.
I really don’t know how we win 2 more, but I’m praying we do

Ball and player movement is ESSENTIAL when you don't have strong one on one players

It's frustrating

3 things that causing us to shoot ourselves in the foot

1. Missed Free Throws
2. Rieber playing
3. Hyatt playing

I am sure Michigan feels good to be up 3 given their very slow start. I expect they will play better in the second half.

Passing up open looks to get trapped inside for turnovers, and shooting 3-11 from the foul line. Story of the game so far.

My biggest complaint about this team is whenever they get a decent lead. They start taking every three humanly possible rather than building the lead through high probability baskets. They'll miss five in a row, and the other team will come back almost 100% of the time. It's so infuriating

Just brutal squandering a great start. Outside of Caleb, bench has given nothing. Need to ride the starters rest of the way and hit the F’ng free throws
