🏀 NCAA Tournament Men's Basketball - Outside UVa Thread

Game took a Michigan turn after that Karaban hook-and-hold flagrant.

I guess I don’t know ball but did not realize Hurley has been in the 300s for tempo the past three years

Tempo is pretty much a worthless stat.

Slow is their secret weapon.

I’m not a huge Hurley fan but they’re not getting any calls.

man, Cadeau is nice.

UConn does run really fun stuff. Slow or not, it’s beautiful offense. So much movement.

Michigan full court pressure, more aggressive than what Odom deploys. Maybe we turn it up a notch this fall?

So beautiful to score 35 in 26 minutes. We were pilloried for getting great shots at a slow pace.

Cadeau just hit the Ty Jerome!

As I was saying

The problem is that we didn’t always get great shots, especially the last 3-4 years of the Tony era. Many times, we didn’t even look at the rim in the first 15-20 seconds of the clock. Our offense was also more predictable. They run much more varied actions than we did.

And claiming it’s not beautiful because of the number of points they’ve scored is disingenuous and lazy.

UConn 0-8 on threes this half. Killing ‘em.

Refs just not calling anything on loose balls. UConn figured it out first, but Michigan catching on.

Lendenborg shouldn’t be out there. Hurting the team imo

Bodies falling to the floor every possession. I like it, it’s hustle time.

Not making a political statement but home state senator getting on twitter to complain about the refs from his government verified account is objectively hilarious
