IUFLA Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 10 minutes ago, Inequality said: Michigan has it going on. I like the Smith transfer kid. They have so many working pieces and loads of swagger. So to that point... Last year, Livers, Wagner, Brooks, Davis, and Johns were all on the team...That team finished 10-10 in the B1G in 10th place, and 19-12 overall... They lost Xavier Simpson, their leading scorer and 2 time All Big 10 second team selection, and their second leading scorer, Jon Teske... They replace them with a freshman, Dickinson, and 2 grad transfer, Chaudee Brown and Mike Smith... Besides that, what changed? They gained experience... And in our league, that means a lot...

Depending on the path as to the degree of difficulty, I say Michigan has the goods to win it all in the NCAA. I think they would handle OSU easily.

NotIThatLives Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Maryland would have felt real good with Michigan getting 0 from Livers, 6 from Dickinson and Juwan Howard getting tossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience is great...but it means nothing if you aren’t improving as players. Did senior Al give us anything more than junior or sophomore Al? Did Devonte Green give us much more? Did another year help Rob improve? Is Jerome Hunter that much more improved? Is TJD improved. I’ve seen a couple kids show signs. I saw Race flash some...I saw Armaan flash some...but by the end of the year not sure a single kid on the roster was playing better than they did in the first couple weeks of the season. If I had seen a habit of making kids better throughout the year and from one year to the next I’d have high hopes..but I haven’t. Hoping this disappointment kicks these kids in the butt and they get motivated to never play like this year again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Painter will have them ready. You match up well with them. Size on the wings and your front court is much bigger than theirs. That said If shots don’t fall...well anyone can lose.

My thought is that through hard work, Al had already reached his ceiling...he just wasn't talented enough...Devonte Green? He was always going to be what he was...A straight up killer shooter who could lose you a game just as quickly as he could win you a game...And, as I said, basketball, like a lot of things in life, is a game of confidence...Rob, for some reason, has lost his...Maybe in the off season he can get it back... And, yeah, I think Jerome did improve some, particularly on the defensive end...I think he'll be a valuable piece next year...Trayce improved his scoring average by 5 ppg...And Armaan, before he got hurt, was becoming All B1G material...
