Jackson shoots too much. Can't hit a 3, can't do anything on O except dribble drive.  What's happened to him?

Michigan shoots 61 percent in the first half

Badgers D needs to tighten up

I like Dekker rebounding harder, but I don't like his on the ball defense.

 

Raise your hand if you knew there was no pass happening with the ball in Trae's hand at the end.  All of you?  OK.

 

Backside defense is as poor as I have seen from a Bo team.  Might be time to give Hayes and Frank court time together. 

Very poor effort overall on D. Michigan isn't missing. But they're just not aware in D. They just seem slow.

Yeah and I agree on the Dekker thought by EKB.

 

If Dekker thinks he is going pro, he is only fooling himself. He might get drafted but he'll only be a guy, his game has so many holes in it it looks like the swiss cheese. Not a good on-ball defender, not a consisten jump-shooter with a guy in his face. In the NBA, someone is ALWAYS in your face and you'd better be able to guard on the ball. jmo.

If Dekker is big time, this is his time now ...

Judging on this game, I'd draft Staukas before BigDog III or Dekker ...

Another terrible defensive effort against a middle of the road Big Ten team.  This is not the 3rd best team in the country by a long shot

Pretty rough outing.  Trae played like 2012 Trae (not the good one).  There were a couple plays were the Michigan guy beat the defender, and Frank or Dekker or Hayes just let 'em go to the rim.  Bo will be livid. 

 

Still, that ticky tac call under the rim doesn't get called, Bucky gets the ball down by one with mother mo completely on his side. 

 

Need to get this fixed, because they will be ranked 15 pretty fast and it is harder to get back up into those single digits. 

Their upcoming schedule is really tough.  They could find themselves out of the top 25 if they don't start playing better

Agree.

 

The foul called with 1 second left on the shot clock was not blatant and usually is never called in that situation.  Then again, the Badgers didn't get many close calls.  The non-call on Dekker actually made me question whether the refs graduated from Michigan.

 

Having a foul called with like a half second left on the clock while an airball is chucked is rugged stuff.

 

I didn't see it so as to qualify it, but let's just say if there was a slight bias in calls, it bigtime pi$$es me off when it is tilted away from the home team.

 

I've been watching Big Ten basketball for years and you never see a call like that go against the home team in a close game.  It does not happen
