1/23/2022 – Michigan 80, Indiana 62 – 9-7, 3-3 Big Ten Prepare for science: basketball is more fun when you are raining in all of your threes and the opposition is not. This is scientific take. In this particular game Michigan didn't actually need to be on fire from deep to win—you could have deleted five of their eleven makes and they still would have won—but for many reasons it was good to see it happen. One is that we are all Beilein-adjusted basketball fans and it does not seem right to have a basketball team that is not burning up the nets from outside. Another is that makes imply more makes in the future. But the most important one is that the shooting in this game felt like rough justice, because: More NBA stuff here from Juwan DJ/HD PnR as Moussa backcuts to clear out the strong side Houstan sets a ghost screen (basically a fake screen) that completely fools Galloway…..open 3.

Taken with the Maryland game, and a game against Illinois that Michigan was in late despite not having Hunter Dickinson, and you've got the beginnings of a turnaround. You might have to squint to get there, but Michigan has the tools to dig out. [After THE JUMP: marksmen of tall varieties]
