We need to double Mullins every time he touches the ball. We lost in 2013 and 2018 because we let a white boy get hot from deep. I could give a fukk less Reed going one on one with Mara down low.

I'm nervous. I would feel 100% certain we would win if Yaxel was healthy

Last 2 times we have been here in this position we have lost. But looking at the analytics and kenpom numbers Michigan has the edge at damn near every category. UConn being 6-0 and Michigan 1-6 in championship games has me :francis: but at some point the Basketball God's have to give us some love. Only way I see UConn winning this game if they slow the pace down, get hot from 3. and limit our possessions. If I'm Dusty and the coaching staff I will just let Taris Reed try to get his against Mara one on one and shut off their perimeter guards and forwards. Also Uconn can't stretch the floor with their bigs which is what we struggle with.

Gonna be at a school year opening ceremony because Japan starts its school year in April :beli: So probably gonna miss the first half.

This feels like when we beat Bama and had to go up against a “lesser” Washington but it’s basketball and all it takes is one dude going off to ruin your day but all the metrics favor us:

Yeah, only thing gives me pause is Hurley, which it benefits us because it’s such a quick turnaround: feels like we will have a 10 point lead at some point and it’s about how we whether their comeback.

Also Trey should get the green light. Dude is shooting 40 from 3 and 50 from 2. If he has the ball and nobody is within 3 feet he should pull.
