So what you’re saying is Michigan’s gonna get a Q1 win in Piscataway?

Imagine being Joey Hauser and hearing your coach say that about you. That’s got to fill you with confidence.

With Tom it’s about Tom; everything that he sees as an impediment is a personal insult. Textbook narcissism. Hundreds of thousands of enablers! Placing smiley emoji here but pretty serious. :slight_smile:

He truly is a masterclass in leveraging a reputation as a good person to do bad-person things.

Shouldn’t he have added that Joey Hauser could probably have played more minutes a game “back in the day” before Brad Davison flagrantly fouled him in the nether regions. :slight_smile:

Izzo always reveals his narcissist tendencies with the passive aggressive comments he makes about everyone but himself. There’s a way to say his comment that isn’t being an awful person.

“Well, I have no problem playing guys 30 minutes, especially when they are our best players. I will say that I prefer having the ability to play some of my guys really hard for fewer minutes rather than ask them to stretch into that role. Some guys handle that better than others and it does change the way you coach. But this is the roster we have and we are excited to see how far it can take us.”

Jackson-Davis is just sportscenter top 10’ng all over Rutgers this half.

such an odd season because he added nothing to his game or body, he’s just a power mushroom version of himself

I was thinking that too after listening to the pod. He still can’t shoot, he doesn’t dribble, he didn’t suddenly get taller…just being the best version of himself. I didn’t expect it… especially since you don’t usually see seniors make a leap.

Rutgers is tough man. Took some haymakers from Indiana early and back to within 3 right after half.

Looked like they were going to get run off the court.

Other than gambling, I need a rooting interest for Big 10 games. Is it too early to start watching games through ‘how does this help Michigan more’ glasses? Play both Rutgers and IU coming up. Do we want Rutgers or IU to win?

You would want IU to win so the home game against them is Q1

B10 has to be the only league in the world where that Omoruyi transition garbage is called

Or that someone would even try a bush league move like that.

Agree on both. I can’t believe that punk flopped and the ref rewarded him to give Rutgers best player his fourth foul. Terrible officiating and garbage basketball.

That was egregious, and possibly decisive.

IU is a team that plays tight. A lot. Beating them will be as much a matter of playing them tough as playing well.

Come out of a timeout with a Race Thompson post-up??? Luckily TJD bailed them out on the boards.

Smooth move Mulkahy. Grayson Allen on line 1.

Seems like passing is new?
