It’s always frustrating to watch a basketball team give up in a game: the energy is non-existent, there’s an extreme lack of urgency, and body language-wise, it looks like players simply want to go home.
The Wolverines gave up in this one early, losing to Texas Tech in their final game — albeit a consolation one — in the Battle 4 Atlantis, 73-57.
Texas Tech was picked to finish eighth out of 14 teams in the Big 12 by the conference’s coaches in the preseason poll. They were 4-1 on the season entering this game, with their only loss on the year coming at the hands of Villanova in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
