16 Minute time-out Gamethread

[NikeHawk21]

Michigan shooting the lights out, but the defense was great early and Fran decided to switch to zone. Michigan made two threes and started playing with confidence. Changed the game.

It turns out if you don't guard shooters they are likely to hit their shots.

This is new and exciting info

This team is getting destroyed. Defense is non existent. They have no idea how to close out on a shooter. Awful performance.

Kriener missed his defensive assignment worse than that backboard breaking jump shot. Why is he getting minutes?!?

 

[skinnykilmer17]

Good grief UM cant miss but does Fran or anyone on his staff know how to coach defense? Same every year. Getting old.

Fran's wife looks joyed to be there.

 

[NikeHawk21]

Fran is an idiot plain and simple. Why are three bigs now? People are not getting back on defense. This is pitiful.

 

[Robowe]

Cook with a nice baseline jumper for 2. Iowa's defense has been non-existent.

 

[Robowe]

Pemsl in for Cook. Jbo, Ellingson, Nunge, Pemsl, and Garza in. Garza for 2 more.

Why Ellingson over Dailey? Can any college player get in a rhythm when they play 5 minutes a half?

We get 4 years of these twin towers giving up 3s from the corner playing Fran's famous "Slowdown" 2-3 zone.

 

[NikeHawk21]

Thought we were done will the Nunge at 3 experiment because it led to horrible spacing, turnovers and terrible footspeed on defense. Nope Fran brings it back

Good question. Fran didn't like something Dailey did because he has not came back in the game.

I hate being so negative. But there is so much bad going on by Iowa. The offensive spacing is just...aggravating to watch. They are right on top of each other. Spread out and make them guard you!

Lucky to be down only 12 after that shit show.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

That was a frantastic half of basketball.

Good question. Fran didn't like something Dailey did because he has not came back in the game.

He gave open wide open 3s in back to back possessions. Then he turned it over and watched as the other team raced to the other end. It's unfortunate that Fran has no choice but to let Bohannon get away with that crap. But Dailey has to get yanked after that garbage.

I'm switching to a different Michigan-Iowa game


That 93 team...

Very interesting to hear Crean layout the blue print to bait iowa into over playing on D to create open shots. Sounds like a no nonsense basic plan to make iowa look bad on D.

not like we have seen that under Fran.

 

[PCHawk]

Hopefully they fall in love with the 3 and go ice cold....yea right.
