Tuesday Dec 10 games involving top 25 teams

Man. With Butler and Oweh? Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t share the concern. Maybe if there’s foul trouble or injury.
Im Not worried about those two getting beat off the dribble at all…. It’s the switch, or if we try to go over when Brea or Carrs guy sets a screen and they get down hill immediately.

That’s where I think we have to use the similar gameplan as we did in the 2nd half of Gonzaga. Nembdhart torched us in the first half due to going over and switching. Once we started going under and sagging, he was all but negated. Fland and Wagner only have athleticism (Thiero too). If they get athletic mismatches off of switching, then they can be effective. Not worried about a straight up 1v1 against Butler or Oweh.

But I fully trust Pope to see the same thing as soon as he watches a few games of film in Arkansas and strategize accordingly

Athletically, it’s just a mismatch out there all over the floor. Arkansas looks like they’re playing at 2x speed. Michigan is really not comfortable with the pace.

DJ Wagner shooting like Steph Curry.
Lmao he's 2-2 from 3, let's not pretend he's 7-7 or something actually out of the ordinary. And he's 35% on the year, that's not bad at all. I dont know why y'all are acting like he's a 15% 3 point shooter who can't miss tonight.

He’s not a terrible shooter, but if they rely on him being the outside threat it won’t work. He’s playing better for sure but he can’t get to the rim against most teams like this and finish. I always thought he may be a decent college player but he’s looked almost identical to last year to far. I defended him a lot last year but he never came thru.

They don't really need him to carry their three point shooting though. As a team they're shooting better than we are from 3. Z, Fland, and a healthy Davis are all 40%+ from 3. DJ just has to hit enough to keep things honest, and he's done more than that this year.

They don’t shoot nearly as much as we do and by the end of the year let’s see what it says.
 
No idea why Michigan is still going over every screen and giving up the drive off the weave. Sure, they have shot decent this game but Davis is the only guy (maybe Z when he’s on) that I’d trust to hit enough shots from deep over the length of a half to beat you
