I'm back

Michigan severely disrupted our offense by being VERY physical (with ZERO calls)
That being said, the way they defended open up the middle drives which we exploited
That opened up wing and corner threes that just didn't fall.  For the most part they seemed to rim out, not bad shot selection or form just bad luck IMO

We NEVER stopped their bigs

The personnel pattern in the 2nd half was puzzling
Uros played the best of our bigs with Aidoo the 2nd best.  I'm not sure Aidoo saw the court in the 2nd half and Uros played their big guy the best and wasn't on the court in crunch time.
I get that we ran the lineup we typically run but it wasn't working on the offensive end and hurting us, badly, on the defensive end.  That I  hold against the staff but in reality we got outplayed in general


My bet is we loose Kennedy, Vescovi and one of the 2 big FR.
OTOH, I think their may be some excellent talent become available due to coaching changes
If you want a dominate big man, go for Fardaws Aimaq, 6'11" Center out of Utah Valley who has entered the portal  (~19 points a game and ~13 Boards) and I think his skills will translate to the SEC
I've had him in on my college fantasy team for two years and he has been consistent as heck

Funky gave us an offensive spark in the second half, but also got punked on D quite a bit.  Maybe we would have been better with more of Aidoo as you suggest.

Excellent points about inside productivity. You gotta have it to make a run because some nights shots won't fall.
