elaborate?

elaborate?

Thank you. I had no idea where he was going with that one.

I think he means because VCU ran the score up against their first round opponent and didn't call the dogs off with their press despite having a huge lead.

I can't say I'm displeased at the Shaka Smart bandwagoners getting b****-slapped today. I think they all think saying his name is cool.

Michigan is one of the best teams in the country if they are hitting their shots. Would be a tough matchup for us on one of their good days. Very tough.

Akron was missing 4 of their top 6 players. VCU was rolling them, up by 40 points, and still kept up their full court defensive pressure.

Smart said 'we play the same way no matter the score.'

 

[skurey]

Still would love to have him as our next coach

Now I got you. Wonder if Beilein is trying to teach the young coach a lesson.

Or maybe the lesson is that once you get a big second half lead, you don't let up.

 

[NKR1978]

He should switch to zone. S

No, UM is taking their time and bleeding the shot clock now. Much like JB would be.

Sounds like the guy who is now in over his head in Tampa...think he used to be at Rutgers...name is Shainola or something like that.

VCU was done as soon as those matchups were announced. Like L'ville, they live by the press defense, and they matched up against the best backcourt in college bball. This was the worst team in all of NCAA for them to play. Indiana or anyone else would have been better.

Shaka's getting Shocka'd.

Disagree. Yeah, after they were up 20+ with 5 minutes to go. Until then it was full-throttle. Watching, JB? This is how it is done.

When I posted there was like 9 minutes left in the game.

Ah got it. I saw the score but didn't know if they kept their starters in the whole time. With one day's rest, wouldn't it be advantageous to rest your top 5 guys as a pressing team once you're up 30?

Np

A team should still run their slowdown game with aggression, confidence, and swagger. Not fear and servilitude. Step on their necks and crush their heads. Save the sympathy for after the game.

Insert annoying question about how many wins you have at the D1 level.

Truth is I actually tend to agree with you on this one. The stall has always annoyed me.

Mich suffered in the BiG much like we did because of the way they "LET TEAMS PLAY" they are allowed to let their talent shine in the NCAA's. The way McGarity has come on they will be a very tough team to beat IMO.
