We are back folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com,

Sam Webb, Mr. Ira, Yindrop on the other side.

And Ira, we've talked so much about what Duke will try to do and mainly what they'll have to

avoid.

You cannot get Camboosur and file trouble in this game.

That's another thing that will get you run off the floor.

With Michigan, we focused a lot on what they have to make sure of defensively.

What about offensively, Mr. Wyandtrod?

Number one, Sam, they've got to value the basketball.

You know, this is a last year, this was a major concern, right? We talked a ton

last year about turning the ball over and limiting it. And they got better as the season progressed, but it came back at bad times. It would kind of reared its ugly head. This year, they've been better. Now, there have been some plays where they just like, I'll never forget there was one play. I can't remember which game it was where they just inbound of the ball.

And Elliot tried, I think it was Elliot trying to throw the ball across the court.

It hit Merez in the face and goes out of bounds.

Like... one play, I can't remember which game it was, where they just imbound of the ball. And Elliot tried to, I think it was Ellie trying to throw the ball across the court. It hit Mores in the face and goes out of bounds. Like, you know, just random stuff like that. You cannot have any of those, right? Duke is really good about forcing turnovers. Duke is really good about taking those turnovers, live ball turnovers, and turning them into points. Duke isn't necessarily a run-and-gun kind of team. Michigan is the one that wants to get out there and run and speed the game up. Duke was very happy to slow you down and make you and force you to play 25 plus seconds of offense and then force you into a bad shot, which actually is very similar to how Michigan plays defense, but Duke is happy to slow it down, too.

They don't have to run. They can, but they're better at turning you over than Michigan is at turning teams over. And that's the one, because both teams are really good on the glass. Michigan showed on Tuesday night, right? They played bully ball in Purdue, and they were really good about that. They got to maintain that. To me, my biggest concern in this game,

sure, we can have the conversation about

hitting a certain amount of shots or whatever, my biggest concern is turnovers and those

turnovers turning into points the other direction for Duke.

Yeah, you know, and it's such a great point.

You know, when they have turnovers like the ones so they're

there there there are a couple of times where they're in a two-man game and they try to bounce

past through traffic which they've been able to do those are the kind of turnovers from like listen
