Official: SMU vs. Michigan Thread

[ojaipony]

Michigan finished 8 of 36 from 3 point range.

Goodness.

Did they shoot perimeter so much because they don't have an inside game?

Yes and our interior defense is top 10 IMHO.

Indiana shot 33 threes against us and it worked. Michigan was probably just trying to do the same thing

Because that's really the only way (and it works!) most teams can beat us. They can't beat us inside (all the "bigs" that were supposed to be elite have laid goose eggs against us basically because that's our strength with all our athletic length). Very simple: our perimeter D has only gotten A LITTLE better (sometimes it's very good, other times it's terrible). Indy made their shots, Michigan didn't. As simple as that.

Got a big bump with that win over Michigan on KenPom, now #32. Sagarin, not so much. If we win the next 3, might make Top 25.
