The pain of Thursday night’s loss to Texas Tech in the Sweet Sixteen is one that is going to haunt the Michigan Basketball program and its fanbase until they start playing games again, and potentially a little bit beyond that.
Losing the way they did with one of the historically bad performances in program and NCAA Tournament history is a bad, bad look, and there is no other way to sugarcoat that. It was as if all of Michigan’s concerns from throughout this season re-appeared at once. They had no go-to player offensively, the shot selection stunk, the ball was not moving well and the defense crumbled a bit under the pressure the failing scoring attack put on it.
