*****Iowa vs Michigan Game Thread*****

Watching Payton Sandfort today, it reminds me of Ronnie Harmon's game in the Rose Bowl.

I do like Payon, but the guy has to quit playing hero ball. It is Dix and Freeman's team, Payton is 3pt shooting specialist,
not Lebron James.

I’m not saying we are a sure fire win. But give them a chance. We may get blown out in the 2nd half but we’ve done a great job fighting back form a bad deficit in the first half. That’s with a horrible Payton and no freeman.
luckily Michigan is a TO machine

So what lineup does Fran come out with to start 2nd? Not having Thelwell on floor would be criminal. Having Dembele on floor would be criminal

My guess, Brock and Dembele start

If Fran starts the same guys 2nd half - I won’t understand why. A team chemistry thing? And if PS wrist is that bad gotta sit and rest him Fran common..

It's the bump with both hands on the handler that makes it obvious. Thats not legal defense in any league. How many years do we have to see big ten refs doing this.

Tadjo had a good block. Got robbed. Still offering more than Dembele. What do they see in him, other than he needs more development?
agree, he's quicker as well. Better rim protector and rebounder from first looks.

He will start the same players that started the game. He does not want to break paSandfort and Dembele's rhythm. Tremendous game coach.
 
Michigan is a wreckless passing team and slow on defense. The jump shot off of pick action is there all day. I dont think force feeding Owen will help us much this game.

Can he play for Payton? I hate tearing guys down, but he’s pissing me right the F off.
I’ll give benefit of doubt that he is hurt, Fran has to step in here because Sandfort always been shoot first think second. He just doesn’t have it in him to adjust his role when hurt

Amazing we are still in this game. I don't know what Fran sees sometimes....he likes Dimbele and Braun off the bench for Freeman. Mulvey and Tadjo outplayed those two. Thelwell brings leadership, baskets, defense...I like Harding, Thelwell is more consistent. Anyway, got 3 guards. At this point Payton is a Bench player...his Brother better athlete, better defender, no playing hero ball.

I think you are correct...Fran if anything is stubborn...he'll bring out same lineup and if Freeman needs a blow, it will be Braun/Dimbelle again to play backup center.
 
I've thought this for a long time: I would hate to be a teammate of Peyton Sandfort. He is a ball hog and takes terrible shots. He is not a team player. He just wants the glory for himself.

He hurts the team more than he helps.

this was evident to me when he had his triple double last year. He was hunting for that. Probably first thing he does in the locker room is ask for the stat sheet.
 
Payton going through the sophomore Jinx, two years late! Playing like a guy going through a divorce, shooting like he's totally distracted. Too good of a shooter to have a drop-off like this. Shooting like Connor a few years ago, when he couldn't hit the ocean.

I really don’t mind Brock, he can be a fun player to watch and he is really solid at feeding Owen. But thewell is clearly the better option.

watch our perimeter guys stand around when Freeman gets the ball down low. No player movement, no screening for each other to get a kick out when double teams come to Freeman.
