Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Weird defense by Houston on that last play. Let MI inbound with no pressure almost to half court. Hindsight is 20-20, but why not pressure the inbounds pass and also force Michigan to catch to ball well before half court? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...it's not like Christian Laettner's shot hasn't been seen like a billion times...this time Mich had even more time! You don't even have to go back that far...earlier this year, Maryland had a chance at a win when it didn't guard the inbounder with Michigan down by one and 3.5 seconds left. Abdur-Rahkman was able to catch a long pass, drove for the basket and got fouled. He knocked down both free throws and Michigan wins.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Sunday night at 9:40ish WVU and Marshall tangle in San Diego for the trip to sweet 16. A late night for fans of the Eers and the Herd. WVU's Press Virginia defense will cause Marshall serious problems. Since I had a daughter graduate from both schools, I have no favorite. I just want to see an exciting contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they first showed that ticket on TV, I thought 20:1 odds for a 1 versus a 16, and the number 1 seed at that, that's pretty crappy odds. But then again, Vegas is about making money and I it was good enough for someone to lay down $800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the 3-pt shot is a big part of your offense and all of your shooters go cold, it's gonna be a long night. This wasn't a national championship team, though certainly it's disappointing they didn't get to next weekend. I'm gonna miss Berry and Pinson.

Bing Bong Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Bc zone forces players to shoot turn around jumpshots. College players can't shoot jumpshots. That's why you don't see the zone in the NBA. Boeheim just dares teams to play out of their comfort zone. Mich St. had never seen this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
