RU-MICHIGAN GAME THREAD

[G- RUnit]

Lol! Hated the Daniels bashing all year and all the Williams is so great crap. To their credit they played hard to the end.

 

[mikebal9]

The spread was 10. Just saying.

 

[higgins3]

Michigan players stayed on the bench after the 5 min to go TV timeout. Good news is we also only had 3 turnovers during that 5 on none stretch. But I think we caught a break in that the refs missed we actually had 6 guys on the court as Sheridan snuck in there and the refs missed him.

great....so the teams were 6 players to 0. Only 3 turnovers.

Actually, Beilein removed some of his starters, but I don't know how many and when.

Regardless, I thought the subs played hard. Shaq is obviously young and inexperienced, but I like his length and toughness. That is why he should have played more this year to gain experience and confidence.

Williams made a 3, Daniels scored a bunch taking it to the basket, Foreman moved nicely without the ball on one play to get open and finish inside. He also made 2 FTs, I believe.

If those 5 could at a minimum play hard and play together, I could handle the losing.
i just don't think Mack could play any D this year, and Jack was too often passive and has no attitude. I guess that is just his personality.
I just want to see guys play balls on fire with maximum intensity. Like many of our past tough guys. No reason to be soft!

The beatings shall continue until morale improves.

DEAD LAST in the conference.

How did I get lucky enough to witness one of the 10 victories for this team in Clemson?

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

A lot of basketball is about morale....I prefer the term "Confidence".

If you lack confidence it shows in your entire performance......offense and defense.

A lot of people on this board view defense as the biggest problem. I think it's offense. When a team can't hit the side of a barn you lose so much confidence and your entire game suffers, especially on the defensive end.

That's just the way it is with players.

in all seriousness I think some of our best BB this year was played end game when we had M&J&E2 on the bench. Mich did have a couple of their better players in yet the energy, pace, ball movement was pretty good.

DJ has to work on his handle but at least I see progression. I applaud his energy and effort.

Not the first time RU has played better end game than the first 32-35 mins..

Michigan made 10 more 3-balls than RU--wow what a spread.

Michigan still played a few regulars during our run. The point guard didn't come out until 40 or 50 seconds remained. Foreman, Williams, Daniels, Doorson & Kone were hustling. Zurich and Hyde even played the last 4 minutes. Foreman and Williams must get major minutes next year. They always give a 100% plus effort.
