Individual players:
| Manny Harris 34min -16 |

Manny didn’t shoot particularly poorly, and a few of his misses could have conceivably been called fouls. It was the turnovers that Manny really hurt the team with on this day.
| Laval Lucas-Perry 20min 0 |

LLP shot better than I would have guessed from watching the game. It would probably be best for him to not start a few games to get his head right, and hopefully he’d be more effective off the bench.
| Zack Novak 27min -8 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |
| Lane | 1 | 0/1 | |||
| Midrange | |||||
| 3-point | 0/1 | 2/4 | 0/3 | ||
Bad day shooting, though he did his standard job rebounding and making various hustle plays. Also, he got suspended for elbowing a dude in the face.
| DeShawn Sims 30min -6 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |
| Lane | 1 | 2/3 | 1/3 | 1/1 | 1/2 |
| Midrange | 0/3 | ||||
| 3-point | 0/1 | ||||
Really tough day for DeShawn. He started off pretty well, then faded down the stretch (as has become a pretty strong trend lately). He has to play the lion’s share of minutes, is often guarding (and being guarded by) bigger guys, and gets worse looks as his teammates decide to start jacking ill-advised threes.
| Kelvin Grady 30min -11 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |
| Lane | |||||
| Midrange | |||||
| 3-point | 1/1 | ||||
Not a whole lot of shooting from Kelvin, which is too bad, because he’s certainly one of the best three-point shooters on the team, if not the best. He set his teammates up with a lot of decent looks still.
| Zack Gibson 11min -10 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |
| Lane | |||||

| 3-point | 0/1 | ||||
When Sims struggles, the team really neeeds Gibson to step up and prove his worth. Ohio State does have much better big men (and more depth) than Michigan, but Zack’s perfomance was truly bad.
| Stu Douglass 21min -15 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |

Yikes. Maybe stepping in for LLP in a starting role isn’t what Douglass needs right now. He’s really been struggling lately as well.
| CJ Lee 12min -6 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |

Standard CJ Lee.
| Anthony Wright 7min -1 | |||||
| Location | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | F |
| Lane | |||||
| Midrange | |||||
| 3-point | 0/1 | ||||
When Anthony Wright is playing outside of garbage time (and more than a minute here and there), it’s probably not a good thing for the team’s success.
What This Says…
After the terror that was the opening few minutes of this game, Michigan’s players really settled down and played the Buckeyes evenly for the remainder of the game. Of course, playing even isn’t good enough when you start in an 18-point hole. The shooting was subpar, but Michigan would be able to get through this if it wasn’t for the horrendous turnovers they had. In the .xls sheet, look at all the times Michigan didn’t even have a shot attempt while Ohio State was scoring 6 or 8 points. That’s all due to turnovers. Of course, the Buckeyes helped Michigan a bit by turning it over a bunch themselves. The final score of this game is a little wider than the contest actually was, as Michigan had a technical and a flagrant foul late in the game, and were fouling the Buckeyes at the end to try to extend it.
A couple comments on how unbelievably stupid the BTN analyst was (these are drawn straight from the .xls):
- Michigan’s first 3-pointer in 10 shot attempts prompts the announcer to say “Michigan has been almost exclusively a perimeter team [this game].” At that point, 14 of Michigan’s 20 shot attempts (70%) had been from inside the arc.
- After Michigan gets an offensive rebound, “This will give Michigan a rare opportunity for some second-chance points.” At that point in the game, Michigan already had 8 offensive rebounds, and they ended up beating the Buckeyes in offensive rebounding by a wide margin of 13-4.
Of course, color analysts are often stupid, but BTN has some of the worst of the bunch (don’t even get me started on football). It seems that, especially with this Michigan team, they go into the game with the assumption that Michigan will only shoot threes, and won’t get any offensive boards, and they continue to hammer on those points, even as such trivial matters as “facts” go completely against what they’re saying.
