WTKA Roundtable 3/8/2018: It Wasn't a Switch
Friday Mar 09, 2018

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.
