WTKA Roundtable 3/8/2018: It Wasn’t a Switch

Listen Later

They’ve got a permanent chip on their shoulder and its name is Zavier Simpson



Things discussed:


  • Hit some threes with some weird guys. Michigan’s matchups vs MSU are all too good. Can’t cover up Winston’s defensive deficiencies the way Michigan spaces you.

  • Michigan’s coaching is so good

  • Won Nebraska with defense; didn’t like that we kept going at Roby and he was awesome. Wagner’s best game other than 27 points at Breslin?

  • Michigan starts the 2nd half vs Purdue with a 10-2 run after missing great shots in the first half. Purdue was one step behind Beilein all night. Painter is a great coach too.

  • Bridges turns into a jump shooter because Yaklich put Z on him. It’s not a switch! He wasn’t able to stick in the post despite MSU trying to run their offense through him.

  • State came into the game trying to punk Michigan, turned out they were the softer team.

  • What do we not want to face: zone teams. Good zone attack plan but not enough rise up shooters. Every time they face it they need time to adjust. Good draws: West Virginia (see: the VCU game in 2013), Virginia, teams that have a traditional post. Bad draws: Duke, UNC, Nova. Don’t want a Michigan-ish team.

  • There’s no favorite in this tournament. If Virginia didn’t have a history of flaming out at least.

  • Yaklich effect: 43rd percentile in P&R defense to 92nd!!

  • Craig: Zavier Simpson, best defensive point guard at Michigan since Alfred Ethelwulfsson, maybe the best ever.
