Yes but no, I think he was hurt and took a medical RS.
I was at that game, Columbia had a few good players.

This recap is way off base....Michigan played OK....if they play a team that can knock down some shots and don't give up a ton of offensive rebounds, they're beatable.....I don't see a Final Four team there at all.
In any event if they are, then RU is much further along than we all believe. I think watching Iowa dismantle Wisconsin tonight shows that if you get open looks against them and make them, totally different ball game.
Ohio State will undress Michigan Sunday unless they play wayyyy better than the last 2 games.
He and Wieskamp are similar and both great
And Vogner only a soph
watching this game I could see Michigan as being the better team....last week you said Iowa was better and I didn't see it. The difference between Iowa and Michigan is clear, although I also see Iowa being a better coached team than Michigan.
Why do you think Iowa is a better coached team? Would love to hear more as Howard is going to be a coach of the year finalist and lose to Few

well honestly I think he's coach of the year more so because of the talent. Iowa overall doesn't seem as talented and they have a system. Michigan has athletes. IDK if that makes sense and I could be wrong what do I know????

Michigan has beaten 5 wins vs NCAA opponents by double digits (Wisconsin, Purdue, Minnesota, Maryland 2x), 6 if you include Toledo. Only 3 of their 10 conference wins are single digits. Supposedly this is the best conference in the country and Michigan is 10-1

Iowa and Michigan are better than RU. Michigan is better than Iowa although Iowa can certainly beat Michigan. I think Michigan is well coached as is Iowa....more balance on Michigan, they wont put up 90 like Iowa but they dont have to because their defense is probably the best in the conference
Hopefully he only plays 1-more season at Mish
I’d be shocked if he isn’t coaching an NBA team within the next 2-3 years.Hopefully Howard gets an NBA job lol
The dude was 6 of 7 tonight from the floor after a 5 for 5 performance. Pike should be screaming at his guys to feed him more. For an offensively challenged basketball team it’s an asset they’re not taking advantage of. I’d rather see him with the chances than Caleb hoisting up 15 shots.
Agree. We got outclassed for long stretches when Michigan was really motivatedwe were walloped when it counted, Michgan went up 17 and the game was over. They let up and credit to RU for fighting back
if people are saying oh well we could have made a few shots and won this game...no, it wasnt happening like that. You just cannot add made shots and then assume that Michigan does the same brainfunk for the rest of the game.
IF RU made their shots and bunnies in the first half, then yes we could have won with a similar effort in the 2nd half but the game was lost in the last few minutes of the first half when the lead grew to 9 and immediatley the first 5 minutes in the 2nd when Michigan showed they were not playing around.
it was a 14 point game with 2:49 left at 63-49. Its nice that RU kept it close but this game was still 11 points when Wagner ended the game for reals with 1.11 left. RU never even got it to 8 with the ball....this game was never in doubt

an average shooting night for them is what they shot., you could say RU shoots 46% but have you really been watching.,
do you think Michigan played their average in the 2nd half when they didnt hit a fg for 6 minutes
RU was down double digits for about 17 minutes in the 2nd half, yet to me its bizarre you are saying that they had every opportunity to win
stop breaking everything down into metrics and percentages. The game was lost in the first half...we missed bunnies, didnt get enough stops. For RU to win, we had to be with a possession or two at half and then win the battle the first 5 minutes. Instead Michigan took that 7 point lead and made it 17,
gee if we make shots we win, every game you can say that
RU was 1-10 from 3 until JY made two in garbage time.....RU has shot like 25% from 3 the past 6 games yet you are clinging to some narrative that because our average says 35% because we were hot early on that we are headed back to that time
I'm talking about an average shooting night for us. which is 52% from 2 and 32% from 3 instead of 44% and 25% (and the 25% is inflated by 2 shots late in the game that didn't really matter.)
No, that's my whole point. I'm not trying to argue that Rutgers is the better team here, but Michigan either played badly enough or our defense played well enough tonight to hold them to the point where we easily could have beaten them. The team we played tonight wasn't out of our reach at all.. on some nights maybe they would be, but not tonight.
Right, we lost the game simply by missing a lot of open shots.. at a higher clip than we normally would. This is not being outplayed in a repeatable way.
Yes, no shit, but people like you try to attach narrative and meaning to the vagaries of whether specific shots go in or not. If you put the same team out there to shoot 12 three point shots (which is not nearly enough!) sometimes they are going to hit 2 and sometimes 5 and sometimes 3 and you will try to write a story about it, but the reality is that only preparation and the shots you take are directly controllable.
Yes, silly me, clinging to the "narrative" of, um, averaging the whole season as a better estimator of our true three point percentage than just randomly cherry picking the last 6 games which is literally retarded.
I mean why not just average the last two shots Young took and conclude our percentage is now 100%? It's basically as valid as what you are doing here. Last six games, lol, give me a ****ing break.
A 25% three point percentage would put us literally last in the country, but this is your estimate of our true percentage? It's just completely ludicrous.
no we easily couldnt have beaten them...truly a bizarre take...this game didnt get closer than 7 at the final buzzer, it was 14 .with less than 3 minutes, I suppose that Michigan if they played better could have won by 30 but apparently you disregard them letting their foot off the break and then in hindsight say...oh if we made more shots then we would have won easily...it doesnt even make sense. Maybe if Michigan doesnt go 6 minutes without a fg.......

Obviously the game was never close because we had a horrific shooting night, that is not in dispute (it's bizarre that you think it is).
When a team goes 1-80 from three and loses by 10 I don't conclude the game was a complete mismatch, because that's not how basketball works.
the game was over and RU chipped way, are you saying this was a 7 point game when it was in double digits for our 17 minutes of the 2nd half
the game was over at 56-39 and Michigan coasted, how many times have we seen this kind of game. The 7 point margin didnt reflect how the game truly was. That happens sometimes, sometimes you play close and then all of a sudden lose by 16 like at OSU
We had hardly any open looks the whole game. During the Michigan scoring drought, CM and JY missed a pair of wide open transition 3s. It’s true that if those fall maybe we could’ve made it interesting. But literally every other shot I can think of outside the early missed bunnies was well contested.
True but jacking up contested threes would be superior to a lot of the looks we actually get.
RU shot 40% thats not a horrific shooting night
Yes it is because they only took 12 threes. They were 13-29 on close twos (45% vs 60% on the season) and 3-12 from three (also terrible).
Will grant you the midrange shooting was fine.. but still bad because those shots suck
Michigan's defense is designed to take away the open looks from 3. Its why we had some Geo/Caleb longer 2s then Geo proceeded to brick everything in the 2nd half.
And of the 12 we actually took they were mostly good looks (except the one McConnell head scratcher). But 12 is very few.
