Michigan - 42% From 3

Postby Duke Blue Blood » Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:47 pm

Very scary statistic for us given our inability to stop the 3.

LeVert is 52% from 3 and seems to be a strong player and a Senior....

We played a ton of zone today and played a lot of 3-2 instead of 2-3 and it was really effective. I wonder if we are going to really start seeing a ton of zone from here on out in order to keep fouls down.

Our defense yesterday against the three was outstanding. I know it was New Hampshire but it'd be tough to find a better defensive effort that we've played. We closed on almost every shot they put up and had a hand in the shooter's face. BTW, NH beat Brown by eleven. So, NH is not as bad as we made them look. We are going to have to have the same kind of defensive performance to win Tuesday.

Agreed on our Defense yesterday, but they had nobody who could create their own shot. Not an athletic team at all.

Levert's numbers kind of skew the totals. We shout him down last year. Besides who else can really shoot it besides him? They have already lost 2 games and not a top 25 team like we are so they are beatable.

Are you kidding? Robinson and Walton Jr have made as many or more than LeVert and they shoot a better percentage. They're full of snipers.

Who did they add since last year? I wasn't impressed with them last year. Didn't we beat them without MK?

Under-the-radar freshman: SMU's Shake Milton. Scored 20 on 10 shots in 26 minutes Saturday vs. UNH. 6-0 Ponies will host Michigan Tuesday.

They added Robinson who was sitting out last season because of transfer rules. He's 6' 8" and can flat out shoot as well as anyone in the country. In his college career he's shot almost 50% from three and 90% from the line. I believe he's their sixth man.

He shot 4-of-5 from 3 last week in their win over Texas.

Michigan's biggest problem has been getting healthy. They are good when healthy and can really bury teams. Zak Irving is a baller too. Can really stroke it. Levert is a stud, would've gone in the draft last year if not for injury. Another Pick Central kid doing big things.
