I might begin to include with my post of the basketball game recaps. I thought Ohio State was in control for the most part. I like that they were able to score in the paint consistently and did not rely on the 3 point shots. I love the stats from stat street.

The Ohio State zone was stifling at times--making shot surely helped overcome that at times, as well. But Ohio State's defense seemed faster than U of M was capable of dealing with at times (I'm not sure if it was intimidation). U of M found ways to beat it, but in the end, I think they were controlled by Ohio State's defense instead of Michigan's offense controlling Ohio State. I could be full of it, though--just my impression of what was going on in the Michigan players' minds. Defensively, I felt there were some lapses at the end that made Ohio State's big men look good. And there were some plays where bigger, faster Ohio State big men blew by our defense. I do think Michigan could have defended better than they did at the end--there is the capability, I think. With all of the missed shots at the end, we didn't see Michigan's zone. I was wanting Michigan to get in the zone, anyway, to mix things up. It seemed like Ohio State really stepped it up at the end, on both ends, and Michigan didn't answer, on both ends. Both defense and offense were a problem at the end.

Kind of unrelated, but I think it's worth mentioning that A-Wright started both the Duke and UCLA games (yeah, I know he chucked and missed a bunch of threes in both but he had some key backdoor passes and rebounds), plus Shep played a decent amount of time in both as well. I wonder how long Beilein rides out the current rotation if we keep losing. I know it's only been two games, but I wonder when we start to see some tweaks. Good points, UMDC.

Our problem was failing to make our shots. That could be attributed to either good defense on OSU's part or poor shooting on our part. It was probably a combo of both. Making simple statements like we can't matchup with their size, which suggest we can't win, I think is wrong. Both Duke and UCLA have plenty of size, how did we win those? Size is easy to point to, but just because you can point out the difference between our team and theirs doesn't mean that it is the cause of our loss. (I know they had lots of dunks, blah, blah) Every team has a facet of its game that it relies on to win. If it is not working that team loses (even UNC loses games and they have NBA caliber big men, how can it happen!). OSU shut down our ability to make shots (or we did it to ourselves), but that does not mean that it was their insurmountable size that we just can't match up against that did it. In my opinion, size is a red hearing. I can't wait for our saviors, Shep and Wright, to arrive. They will surely help us correct our inability to shoot. Which was the cause of our lose. We should be scoring 70 points a game. Giving up 65 to the monsters from OSU that we just can't match up against seems fine to me. Defense wasn't our problem yesterday, offense was.
