Michigan Wolverines head coach Dusty May said at his press conference on Monday that the guard play must improve in order for the team to reach their full potential and find success in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Even though the guards have shown flashes, inconsistent performances have held the team back a bit in recent weeks.
Nimari Burnett, Roddy Gayle Jr. and Rubin Jones have all displayed significant potential at various points this season, but their individual struggles in certain games have been a major factor in the team’s offensive slump. The trio failed to make much of an impact in the last several games, so they’ll be looking to bounce back against the Oregon Ducks on Wednesday night.
