We also need to find some kind of answer for Sims on the defensive end.

Couldnt agree more, I think the floor will be open for Dials.
As for Harris, I think the light is starting to flicker.

Great half but if we can get some balance and some d stops it won't be a contest. Amazing run of long balls, .....

anyone still find Musberger to be Michigan-friendly (ie yellow tie in the booth on 11/19) after that not-so-subtle dig?

can't live by the three in the second half..it is obvious ohio state is a
much faster team than UM and must hustle to get loose balls..establish some inside game to bring balance

As we have seen, the first half has actually been two quarters. In the first quarter, Michigan outscored us by 13 points. In the second quarter, we outscored Michigan by 19! On the road! The courage of this team is incredible.
1) Can we be tougher on our perimeter defense so that Michigan doesn't get easy entry passes? Once the ball gets inside 8 feet, their interior offense is almost unstoppable.
2) Can we withstand the first five minutes of the second half? Michigan will come out emotional, to try to get the crowd going.
3) Michigan will come out with some perimeter defense adjustments of their own. This incredible three point shooting will be hard to maintain. Maybe we can find spaces in the 12-16 foot range to score.
4) Keep Dials from getting his third foul too soon.
I thought we lacked intensity in the first six minutes. We can't afford those kinds of lapses in the second half.

I dunno, there were so many it is hard to keep track.
I think we have 5 2 pointers and 12 or 13 3's.

first five minutes of the second half will go a long way in telling us who wins...would love to open a 10 point lead off the bat

The key to the second half...Dials has to make some shots in there.......I wouldn't be suprised to see Michigan scrap that zone they were running.

Random thoughts...
Need to get tougher down-low on D. I've never seen a team give up so many easy buckets like OSU is tonight.
Dials needs to get his BUTT in gear. He's getting beat by guys less talented and uglier than him. Can't have that.
Is it just me, or is Ivan Harris reminding you of a taller version of Jaime Skelton too?
Look for Ron Lewis to have a bigger prescence here in the 2nd half. scUM will be gearing for defending the 3, which will leave lanes open for driving to the hoop. Lewis should get some drives and shoot his share of FT's here in the 2nd
