Very nervous about this game. It’s winnable, but we’re going to need a good game from Moore against the Michigan bigs. I like that we have multiple guards who can score. EVERYONE will have to rebound. We’ll need to be smart with the ball and pick our spots on the break.
 
They’ve beat some good teams but also played some avg teams rather close.

We win by 6-8
 
Trying to get a barometer before tip.. I’ve seen all our games, haven’t seen a single Michigan game outside of highlights.

What are things we SHOULD do well tonight against this Michigan team?

On the flip side.. where should we expect to struggle/where could maybe get bonus points? I think the obvious answer is in the paint for literally anything ha but curious if there’s any more that I’m overlooking that anyone had insight on.

They turn the ball over quite a bit so we better try to pressure them and create transition opportunities.

I have no idea how we will guard their two bigs, defend their big/big pick and role, or keep them off the glass. Rebounding can sometimes just come down to effort, but we are a terrible rebounding team and just don’t match up with their size. As another poster said, it’ll require gang rebounding. Need our guards to get involved.
