Seth Davis quotes conference coaches on various contenders, one of which really hates Wisconsin. Here’s his blurb on Michigan: The Wolverines are dangerous because they shoot the ball so well and stay within their sets, but they can also lay an egg because they rely so much on threes. You almost have to play small with them because they force you to. If you have a big man, it’s hard to guard them because everybody will step out and score. I don’t think Tim Hardaway Jr. is a tough kid. He just wants to shoot jumpers. If you have a dominant person inside, you can go right at them because they’re not real big. Hardaway has not had the kind of year we were all expecting, but he has an uncanny ability to make threes late even when he’s not shooting well. Trey Burke is the best guard in our league, and Jordan Morgan is much better offensively than he was last year. They don’t scare you defensively. They’ll get after you and compete, but you can run your stuff and score on them. - Why Is the Big Ten Sooooooo Slow?
