Don't forget, we beat Michigan in our last...

...halftime.

The last halftime we played against Michigan, we won by 3 points. And that even on their home court and we were fouling at the end to try to catch up.

They can be dangerous, but I think Painter made some adjustments during halftime that will be valuable in the next game.

I suspect they'll come out more relaxed than us since they've already played one game, but I put our chances of winning around 60-70%.

I agree. I have little doubt the team will be ready to play and come out and put it to UM. If we get out on them early I can see UM sort of folding as it were, but have to keep the pressure on all first half, come out in the second and do the same and then coast to victory.

Agree. They can beat us if we don't play well but if we do what we typically do I think we win this. People are too focused on the excellent job they did to exploit us in the first half on their homecourt. When we adjusted they weren't able to do that in the second half and they also aren't on their homecourt this time. I anticipate a few more of our shots will drop. A few more of theirs won't. And a few more calls will go our way compared to the first game.

Also, we were horrendous in the paint that game which is where you would typically expect us to exploit them. I'm not sure there is anything they can do about that other than hope our post guys are off again. Size isn't a skill you can learn. Walton off the high ball screen is what they'll do that gives us problems. Personally I'd go under it and also stick with the screener. Let's see if Walton can make enough pull up jumpers off the dribble to beat us. I like our chances if that's what they're relying on.

If Walton doesn't hit that "Hail Mary" three, I think it's 50/50 we win that game.

If haas doesn't bury us by missing 7 bunnies in a row in the first half again I like our chances.
