They're not unbeatable though. You live by the 3, you die by the 3. If they're as hot tonight as they were Saturday then it won't be close. If those bombs don't go in, then Michigan has a very real chance. Michigan is great with offensive execution, but they can't be trading 2's for 3's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan is great with offensive execution, but they can't be trading 2's for 3's. Michigan has had games when 3s were going in from all over. They've also had games when they couldn't buy a 3 point basket. The fact that Michigan's big man, Mo Wagner, can hit 3s can be a blessing or a curse. If they choose to leave him beyond the arc, rather than send him under the basket, where he can make shots and/or draw fouls, IMO, it would be a mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I don't watch basketball at all unless one of the Michigan teams are in the tourney. Thinking Michigan made it this far amazes me. I have tuned in to watch the last few games since the March madness started. I would love to see them win it all but they seem over matched in this one.

wvu80 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 10 hours ago, JL Sargent said: Is Villanova's style the future of basketball? 5 guys on the court that spread out the defense with great spacing and all 5 can bang down 3s the whole game. That's Michigan's style also but they don't have five who can knock down 3's. Even though the NCAA 3-point line is shorter then the NBA it's doubtful that style will catch on except for the most talented of upper echelon teams. They are the only ones with enough talent the shoot the threes. Most college teams have a three point shooter or a couple of them if they are lucky. Villanova has got them all over the place, that's why they're hard to defend. Watch tonight when a Mich guy shoots a three, the second the ball leaves his hand the whole team sprints to the defensive back court. Gun and run.

There have been several that did it too, but I've never seen 5 on the same pro team do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Curry is a hair over 43%. Shooting 38% from the 3-point line is considered the same break-even percentage as shooting 50% from the 2-point area.

wvu80 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I've got the Michigan Teamcast on TNT, the National broadcast on TBS on the other TV. The National broadcast has the teams "Michigan" and "Villanova." The Michigan Teamcast lists the visitors as "Wolverines." So far I'm liking the announcers being cheerleaders for their team. I like the emotion which you don't hear with neutral announcers who are just describing the game. Go Blue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Close game, both playing well. It will come down to which team has the better 2nd half adjustments, like usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Michigan has GOT to stop gunning 3's! Once they get behind they will need 3's to get back into it. The problem? Woverines shot 2-13 3's in the first half, 13 percent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon man. Michigan is not out of it, they just need to continue the good defense on the V 3's like they did in the first half, then score consistently. I don't think they scored the last 3 or 4 minutes of the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Should be a great second half! John B is great making adjustments! Something he's very good at! Will be another good half to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
