[...] the Huskies, here’s how this goes down for a Michigan win. Somehow maintaining one of the more efficient offenses in Big 10 play during this brief non league hiatus would be a good start. Otherwise, here’s [...]

hahaha michigan4204, I never thought of that, but they both have extreme baby faces and look similar I guess. But yeah, give us Davis, Lawal, or Favors and we would be great. Enough of the ifs though. Win tomorrow and let’s go!!

Great stuff yet again Dylan. Watching this Georgia Tech vs. North Carolina game and man what I wouldn’t give to have just one of the big men in this game. Does any one else think Ed Davis and Manny look like they could be twins?

Our 2pt% is that good because of sims and manny. I loved how the big ten geeks said this last indiana game you might be referring to UM but say MSU…I forgot the quote but it was pretty stupid if you watched the game. Sims has become a beast during the B10 schedule not only inside but draining anything before the 3 point line. Manny had a bad first half and I pretty sure in the post comments he said he became aggressive in the second half which is bs. Manny was forcing everything in the first half thats why he was sucking and the second half rolls around and he let the game flow and did’nt force stupid shots. I’m going to say it vogrich equals novak in the sense that they both seem like they are going at it full speed all the time…I’m wicked excited for next year it may be ugly but it will be fun. What can I say I’m all in. GO BLUE BEAT UCONN

Deacon is of course right in saying the 3-pt shooting doesn’t HAVE to improve. And I agree that this Michigan team isn’t a great-shooting squad. But the surprised comments from team members that the sharpshooting in practice hasn’t translated to games lead me to believe they can be a BETTER 3-pt shooting squad. The percentages tend to catch up with you, esp with nervous young teams as they get their sea legs.

On another thread I suggested that Beilein hadn’t altered his philosophy much (observing rather than necessarily criticizing his approach). But there’s a good diary up at mgoblog that describes how he has tweaked the defense; against Indiana, it looked like he had done so to good advantage. And certainly going inside more, along with letting Manny create, have been bows to the strengths of his personnel. All of which suggests that we might see more of his philosophy in practice next year, even if that squad isn’t great.

Nice stats.

Now here’s my personal dilemma: going on a cruise out of Miami with the wife tomorrow, and I wonder, does the Carnival Glory have CBS? What about a sports bar on the pier? Do I even risk missing the cruise if we’re winning in the 2nd half?!

See you people back at Crisler v MSU,

GO BLUE BEAT THE HUSKIES!
