Ohio State / Michigan is very entertaining right now. Crisp, not a lot of fouls or turnovers, both teams over 50% shooting, different guys making great plays.

I don't think any team is falling below Illinois in the standings after today, no matter the outcome.

providing good game film - cannot leave MI 3 point shooters open - have to tag the posting 3-shooter in transition; in half court cannot sag so far off the weak side that one cross court pass = 3 points; or sag so far off that results in defender over-reacting in attempt to close gap. Kofi will hold the middle allowing our guards to do just that. also, to the eye, we look much quicker than MI -- dribble penetrate ...

Definitely agree on the first point.
Tend to think you are right on the second as well, unfortunately

Illinois is a really good team...if they win at OSU and Michigan at the end of the season, they become a great team. Love me some Illini, but if Mich and OSU play like this against us, I don't think we win....these are 2 solid, deep, and talented teams. Good game.

Coach Underwood biggest recruiting whiff, Ej Liddle. We have no one on roster who can match up with him wow.. Maybe Ayo on perimeter and Granderson and Georgi down low. If rest of team beats us, so be it.
If we have LJ with current roster, it would be us, Baylor and Gonzaga as favorites. Heard the Mark Smith departure hurt us bad.

Just picked up the game and the last few possession, OSU guard play is terrible.

Kofi and Giorgi are both much quicker than Dickinson and we should be able to exploit that too.

If Liddell was our 4 this year.. we would be undefeated... that is all we are missing is a real solid 4 slot right now.. we would be in awe with him on this team.. I look forward to the guys coming in next year!

Michigan is good though.. these are two really good teams.. If we beat 1 of them.. that is a win for us.. both? well now we start seriously talking NCAA championship

I think we’re better than Ohio state. Michigan is too even if they lose this I still think Michigan is better. Kofi is better than dickenson so he won’t be a problem most likely they’re wings could be a problem for us tho but I honestly think we matchup with them well

Probably a few teams that might claim that...Liddell is a great player...really knows the game

It will be closer but I agree. Both came to play.

Very good game and both teams shooting 53% and each team with single digit TO's. We better hope OSU wins, as we need for Michigan to lose 2 by season's end in conference play.

Nope not Mark Smith, Alan Griffin! Wow: alan 16.7 per game, 8 boards, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. No way he wouldve lost minutes to Granderson. He shooting high% from 3 , fiedl and nearly 80% from free throw line. Damn that hurts.

I keep watching Dickinson just bully osu but can’t help but think he’s not doing that to kofi.
Absolutely. He is skilled but Michigan will have to adjust to Kofi curtailing some of the offense they get from Dickinson. I hate that it will come at the end of that brutal stretch for us.
