Offensive rebounding is a must. Against Northwestern they need to show more energy and stop getting so,lost on the court. Stay focused. Your winning as a team not as one player.Set better picks. Stop falling off them so easy. Play tougher.Play together and stop this oh were down 20 points trend. This is how you won 13 games. Being a team. Always GO BLUE!

Although I am very impressed with Vogrich. lets not dwell on this year, even though its tough not to with the start that we had the future is bright, keep that in mind GO BLUE! its sad to say, but obviously the NIT is becoming more and more of a reality, i don’t see them beating purdue, at crisler, or in west lafayette, but i think the best chance to steal one is going to be MSU at home.. have to believe everyone will get up for that game…

but lets look at the positives even if the season doesnt turn out the way we had hoped:

-manny will for sure be around for 3 if not 4 years, he is clearly not strong enough to take it to the hole against the big ten so obviously the NBA is out of the question
-we lose hardly anything next year(CJ, Air Canada, and Mr. West Bloomfield)
-were bringing in 3 solid players next year who should be ready to come in and contribute maybe not like Novak but at least the way Stu has, and if not at the very least the way Grady did last year. Although I am very impressed with Vogrich.

lets not dwell on this year, even though its tough not to with the start that we had

the future is bright, keep that in mind
GO BLUE!

Northwestern's offense, like ours, is designed to exploit man-to-man defense. By the way, Northwestern is playing perfect Beilein Ball right now, getting outrebounded 30-18 and yet winning the game because they're forcing TOs, holding onto the ball, and hitting 3s.

I fully expect to see more of Shepard in the next few games. I honestly don't know why he stopped playing entirely.

Make shots. If it seems overly simplistic, consider the fact that if UM would have shot poorly(35% from 3) rather than atrociously(16%) they would have won the PSU game and the OSU game. The point that is getting lost here is that UM does not have to shoot well(40% on 3s) to win, all we need is what would be considered average or less to win. The shots will soon start falling and this in turn will lead to much better defensive effort. Younf teams cannot maintain defensive intensity when the O is struggling, this has always been the case.

We played terrible in the first half, and were still able to still be within reach at halftime. 2. With such a young team and Beilein's style of play, everyone kind of expected a couple games like this. Hopefully it'll get better. I agree with many that Novak should get less minutes at the four, but i still like him there when we want to go "small(er)". As awful as that game was, I took solace in two things. 1.
