'Can't win that way': Perimeter defense 'very disappointing' for reeling Wolverines
Columbus, Ohio — Coach Juwan Howard didn’t waste any time rattling off the numbers.
Michigan gave up 11 3-pointers to Ohio State. The Wolverines have surrendered 22 deep balls in the last two games. Back-to-back opponents have shot at least 47 percent from beyond the arc.
The same perimeter defense that had been a strength of Michigan’s throughout the season once again showed cracks in its foundation and drew Howard’s ire.
Ohio State guard Duane Washington goes up for a shot in front of Michigan guard Franz Wagner during the second half Sunday.“It’s very disappointing,” Howard said shortly after Michigan dropped its second straight contest with Sunday’s 77-63 loss at Value City Arena.
