[QUOTE="HensonHall71, post: 1698840, member: 748389"] Five thoughts: 1. I give a lot of credit to the Michigan players- they played hard, I still hate Michigan and Howard, but much respect to Jones and Brooks 2. I don’t blame them for holding HD out - he was going to get dominated by Kofi if he wasn’t in game shape 3. This game showed how much we need Curbelo back- he’s the only one that has the confidence to drive when pressed and get a layup or dish to Kofi- Trent and Plummer finally starting doing that but it took all game , it reminded me of the early games when teams would just pressure our ball handlers and we were nearly trying to get the ball past half court and do a bunch of high ball screens - we need someone to make the defense pay for overextending which is AC all day 4. The defensive rebounding was atrocious - we need to clean that up before PU or we will get blown out 5. We can be a special team this year team- I love how we can take their best punch and respond and win fairly easily in the end, I love the resolve despite our flaws, there was no question how much better we were then them in all facets of the game [/QUOTE]
