MBB Duke v. Michigan (Part 2) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread
We handled them pretty easily before, but (as the cliche goes) tomorrow's another day. Their two losses are to us and to an up-and-down Maryland team.
Sagarin has them at #47 and Pomeroy has them at #56, but it's still too early for the systems to predict. I haven't seen a line yet.
Harris and Sims are averaging 21 and 15 points respectively and 8 rebounds each. Everyone else has fewer than 6 points and 4 rebounds a game, and it's spread out.
Their 3 point shooting is not what Beilein would prefer, but they have some guys that can take 'em.
They play deep, with nine players averaging double digit minutes - same as us.
(This is where the smarter people jump in and carry the discussion.)

Fired up and ready to play?
If we come out to start the game like we did against Purdue, we should be ok. If we don't the crowd will be in it and should help a young Mich squad. Our offense worked well last time because of our skip passes. Their coaching staff probably has worked on that with a few new wrinkles thrown in. However if we really come to play it should make no difference in the outcome, but the score will be closer than last time. Go Duke!
