The silver lining is this: Michigan got beat this year because their shooting was atrocious in most games, and teams would simply zone up on them, clog up the inside, and dare them to shoot over the zone. Which most of the time, they couldn't. With a larger three-point arc, it will be easier to pass inside against the zone.

Appreciate the reply...An off season can do wonders for some guys that have shown the ability to shoot, but just struggle, and also have 9 guys returning to the system is why I think they should be more accustomed to it...
Just curious who you feel might step up as a 3rd scorer...Grady?
