Michigan Basketball

One great come back traded for one humiliating defeat...

Bad Michigan 16 25 41
Opponent 31 40 71

Good Michigan 37 48 85
Opponent 28 24 52

Above is a scoring comparison of the first half against Penn St and the second half against Northwestern (Bad Michigan) vs. the first half against NU and the second half against PSU.

I didn't watch much of the PSU game, I flipped over and saw M was way behind then watched the BCS football game. I switched back and saw M was closer, then switched back again and saw M up by 5-6 and watched to the end. From what I read, they started making shots and causing turnovers.
From what little I saw of the NU game, it looked like turnovers were the problem. Manny Harris has always been loose with the ball and Darius Morris seemed to have quite a few turnovers as well.
This team can only succeed when they get more shots per possession than the opponent. They will seldom win the rebound battle so they need to take better care of the ball.
