The Michigan worrying thread

[DaCat]

I want the Cats to beat Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament so bad I can taste it.

Of course a lot goes into winning like shooting well, defense, limiting turnovers, blah blah. What must the Cats do to win? Where are the most likely areas that can go wrong? Here are my top three:

1. Hit the 3-pointers from the beginning. We've had some atrocious shooting performances... Falzon can go cold, Olah can throw up clunkers, Tre can heave up garbage...
2. Make free throws. We suck at this and are the worst free throw shooting team in the B1G. Make the fricking free throws guys!
3. Break the press. We are getting better but especially if we go up by a decent margin, we've seen teams press us into painful losses.

We can do this!

With the chaos going on the other conference tournaments, NU really needs this one bad, too.

You're right... If we don't beat Michigan we probably won't get a spot in the NIT.

We may not get a spot in the NIT even if we DO beat Michigan. Probable, but by no mean a lock. What's happened in the conference tournaments is insane.

I blame Carmody. The Patriot League will gobble NU's NIT spot.
