From the opening tip, very unusual to see a Beilein team...

have far less intensity and almost no hustle points compared to Xavier.

For 40 minutes we looked disinterested, they looked like it was a final four game.

Hopefully not a tough fix but concerning.

I think Dawkins is a laid back guy and this is why a guy like Wagner is so important. He has a Novak type attitude and this team doesn't have a guy with 'tude' on this team. Maybe Albrecht but he is still getting healthy.

Team has a 'softness' although Doyle does work hard. Team has a finesse style so when they go up against a team like Xavier that likes to mix it up then it better be shooting well and scoring from all positions.

It's a combination of defensive intensity and scoring from the main 4 spots (diversity of scoring).

I hate to say it, but Beilein is the problem. Can't continue to recruit wannabes and expect to catch up to MSU. We will never be a premier program....premier programs never get beat by teams at home by 16 points, ever! John has to go.
