Friars Journal: Michigan game taught valuable lessons
PROVIDENCE — For five long days, the Friars looked at the tape of Michigan’s suffocating defense and knew they couldn’t be that bad.
PC managed just 47 points on 28-percent shooting in a loss to the Wolverines last Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena. It was clear the defeat was as much about the opponent’s outstanding defense as the Friars’ offensive ineptness, but that wasn’t a calming thought. The Friars feel they have a strong offensive team, not one that should struggle to score against anyone.
Asked if he ever thought he’d see his team limited to 47 points, freshman A.J. Reeves said, “No, but we learned from it and moved on.”
