I don't know how a team can play so well against tOSU and Kansas, and so poorly against IU. Leave it to scUM though.

That's just the type of team that they are. They will get focused for teams like OSU, Kansas and Syracuse and play "up" against them, but this is a UM team that isn't really that good - you know what they say, what goes up, must come down. They are too young & inexperienced to play consistently well. They will bring their "A" game for a couple games and then follow it up with a "D" game.

for some strange reason, they also tend to play top-ranked teams fairly tough at home and get buried by everyone else on the road including the tough teams that they played hard at home. Syracuse was an entirely different story.

embarrassing. it's exactly the same problem that the football team had. you can't come into a league that relies on pounding the ball inside and try and hang your hopes on three point shooting.

Look at the bright side.

Unlike football there are 2-3 teams in the B10 who actually play worse defense than tsun in basketball.
