[biggunsbob]

Offense looks bad so far.

 

[biggunsbob]

30-30 at half. Um was up 26-21 but Iowa hit three 3's in a row and we hit the last basket to tie game at half.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan 12 freaking turnovers in first half.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Cadeau is a terrible dribbler. Just a turnover machine anytime he puts the ball on the floor.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Everytime he has put the ball on the floor to drive, he has lost control. Frustrating watching him run the offense.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Pathetic defense

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Cadeau with another fckn turnover. Bad pass results in travel.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

This game sucks fckn balls

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

17 turnovers
I dont like our chances with Cadeau in the tournament.

 

[biggunsbob]

Turnover killed us.

 

[biggunsbob]

I had 2 games going so couldn't post much.

 

[biggunsbob]

We really need a back up point guard.

 

[biggunsbob]

1st time in 50 years since a team went undefeated on the road in the big ten.

The final regular season game against the really good rival Spartans - always really really good - is next.

So here we go

This was always going to be a tough game; they're not a bad team.

The turnovers were ridiculous turnovers. Roddy Gayle actually saved the game with his defense. The offense didnt have really any issues, but as soon as someone started to dribble, Cadeau especially, they couldnt hold on to the ball. It was unbelievable. If Iowa wasnt so bad at shooting last night from 3 in the 1st half, we probably wouldve lost by 8. Lots of wide open 3s. Someone has to step up at the guard position or these guys wont make it past Elite 8. Cadeau has to play more measured.
