Calling that now, he’s to slow for Brown and JP….Michigan has a lot of players to worry about but Mara won’t be one of them

If our bigs play like they did against Iowa state and Estrella plays a little better we will dominate their bigs. Big 10 was weaker in the post this year than usual. Michigan was able to take advantage of that.

Should allow Felix to back off and protect the rim since he doesn’t really have to worry about Mara away from the basket.Calling that now, he’s to slow for Brown and JP….Michigan has a lot of players to worry about but Mara won’t be one of them

Mr.Rose said:That’s a really good point and I hope you are correct. If we continue to play and execute like we have so far well be a tough out for any team and have a real shot to win.If our bigs play like they did against Iowa state and Estrella plays a little better we will dominate their bigs. Big 10 was weaker in the post this year than usual. Michigan was able to take advantage of that.

Duke got into his body because he is pretty weak and they got fouls in him. They weren’t quite the same with him not in there. The PG is very fast but sometimes can’t and won’t shoot. He has shot better than last year at UNC but sometimes still struggles

I’d try and get Carey to go at Mara a few times in 1H and see if he can bully him and draw a foul.Duke got into his body because he is pretty weak and they got fouls in him.
