    Aidoo has the length and likes to block with his left which is beneficial vs righty shooters. He just tends to get pushed around right now due to his weight and strength. When he can body up more and not give up position he will be a very reliable inside defender

    I'm more worried about maintaining guard levels, I know we have the talent developing with the bigs. Maybe the French guy is solid. Zeigler is obviously good though not great. We need a Chandler or vescovi piece. Or both

    No. I’ve acknowledged Barnes’s postseason struggles numerous times in this thread. I’ve even acknowledged that he bears some level of responsibility for this year’s failure.

    But I’d lay the majority of the blame for this Michigan loss at the feet of chaos. A lot of shit that he can’t directly control had to go wrong, simultaneously, for us to lose that game.

    If anything this kind of season is why ones like the sister Jean bs or Oregon state bs are so infuriating. Those were lost opportunities. This was a cold shooting game against a team with an athletic 7'1 center.

    yeah we need shooters and slashers. I don't see us offensively having weapons in the post, but a couple slashers, couple spot up shooters and a 4 who can hit the 3 at the key in our offense would help

    Last years team wasn’t very good though. The Loyola team had a very doable path to the final four

    Would a Michigan victory over Nova tonight change anyone’s thoughts about Barnes/this year’s team?

    no but at least Jay Wright has coached them up enough for Gillespie to hit end of shot clock 3s.

    Did the runs of the other teams that took Barnes teams out change anyone's mind?

    I think it’s hard to get a team tournament ready in that league

    Meanwhile both Arkansas’ success and Michigan looking like utter garbage are both somehow depressing

    Michigan hits a running midrange hook on us for a late dagger then misses 20 layups tonight. Nova also scored 21 more from 3 than we did and at least 3 were late clock launches by Gillespie. We had better looks from 3 than nova had, and they banked 1 in.

    Nova played good defense unlike us and their bigs were extremely physical like they were when they punched us in the mouth.

    yes they are good and physical. Dickensian also got in foul trouble in 1st half and sat. Michigan still shot 10-26 on shots around the rim, quite a few of them uros’d

    I just realized what might make me happiest would be Coach K getting mollywhomped in his last career game by Kelvin Sampson.
