(3) LSU vs (6) Michigan | 2023 NCAA Tournament: Second Round | 3.19.23 

let's be honest, Michigan didn't really come to play. The coach gave up at halftime, Brown gave up midpoint, Kiser also gave up, Nolan was a non-factor, the only players who showed heart was Phelia, Williams and Evans off the bench. When Brown pushed the LSU player out of bounds, that displayed the frustration. And I don't think it was really LSU's defense that caused that frustration, Michigan's offense did look good in stretches, but the unforced turnovers is what zapped all energy away. Brown had a size advantage against her defender, and somehow this was not exploited? They tried to post her against the smaller defender, but either she missed her shots or they overpassed. The COACH is supposed to make sure this advantage is exploited ALL NIGHT until LSU makes a change. This changes how the game flows, because now you add more offensive points of attack. My point is that I believe Michigan could've beat LSU if the coach motivated the seniors to fight for the win. She observed her seniors giving up, and didn't motivate them to keep fighting. I know it appeared they played hard to the end, but trust me the coach had already packed it up at halftime. There's so much that is not known to people who don't follow Michigan. We have a 6'4 senior center named Izabel Varejao who played with Naz Hilmon, she's offensively skilled and provides a defensive presence in the lowpost. She is the niece of Anderson Varejao who played in the NBA. She SACRIFICED her modeling career to play basketball, carrying on the family tradition. Barnes played her a lot in the previous years, but when we needed her the most this year, she never touched the court. She was ACTIVE, you would think Barnes would appreciate her sacrifice, and give her valuable minutes in her senior year, right? No, because Barnes doesn't want to win...she just wants recognition. We have another 6'4 junior forward named Whitney Sollom. She literally hasn't played this year, her size and skillset should have been utilized. A 6'1 freshman guard named Kate Clarke. All of these players needed to be implemented into the offense, yet they sat on the bench collecting dust. You give them valuable minutes against the bad teams, and you spot them minutes against tougher opponents. We have a mediocre coach, it's obvious to see with Michigan fans. It was Phelia, Williams and Evans who made the comeback, but the seniors had pretty much quit on the team. LSU is a great team, not to take anything away from them, but as a Michigan fan...I tell you this was more about Michigan quitting rather than being "dominated".

@@chaossector5909 bruh, you printed all of that and it's full of excuses. LSU was the better team and it was clear their DEFENSE is what frustrated Michigan. The coach didn't give up at halftime because they came out and cut the lead in the first few minutes of the third quarter. Michigan was totally outclassed in this game. No problem admitting that. 😀

@@chaossector5909Who reading that lmao

Stop living in the past lol

In her post game press conference, the Michigan coach said that last year they had Naz, and that "Angel might be better".
