Seems like it all went downhill when Bilodeau sat with 4 fouls. Interestingly, right after that, both of Michigan's bigs had to sit with foul trouble.
Mick brought in Kyle, which I thought was a great move. My understanding is that the book on Kyle is good offense, can't defend a big. But, the game seemed really chaotic and Kyle didn't do anything positive that I can recall. He's not played many minutes for us, is coming off a mystery injury. So, I guess it's not a shocker that he didn't really contribute anything in his big opportunity.
I think part of our problem is that with the "all defense, very little offense" approach, games are always close. There is no opportunity to get Kyle, Mara, Perry (or Harris for those calling for him) significant minutes.
