A study was done last year. Shooting percentages drop across the board (2 pt jumpers, 3's, Free throws) in domes. That could hurt Michigan more than KU.

Also a lot is made of how bad Michigan pounded VCU. As well they should have. They have the best point guard in teh country and the #3 rated transition finisher in the country beating a press. It doesn't translate to how they'll do against a good half court man D.

Michigan is not going to shoot a crazy percentage against KU's D. It's going to come down to these things to me:

1)KU owning the defensive boards.
2)KU not making turnovers that result in runouts.
3)How effective KU is at defending Burke in the half court. Rumors are that Releford will be on him.
4)KU has to come out with energy from the start. I'm thinking like the Colorado game.

Even if McLemore has another subpar game, I think if the above go KU's way no amount of 3 pointers or McGary putbacks will beat KU today.

Edited to say, well, maybe not "no amount" of 3 pointers. How about an Iowa State level won't do it.
