I said that in an open thread during a game lol obviously it means today

The first one was ridiculous, that one was probably the right call.

While I agree with the sentiment of the comment, Simpson isn’t the only one playing hard. Johns is having an outstanding game, including one of very few made threes.

Edit: and I thought big country was playing pretty damn good too.

Was literally just an observation after I saw him miss a hook and floater badly. Wasn’t supposed to be a shot at him and am surprised the comment was analyzed so much and hurt a lot of people.

Idk man. This is the time in a loss when that portion of our fanbase who are anti Simpson start to come out of the woodwork and your comment seemed a lot like those. You make a comment to call out the one player probably doing the most for our team just seems a bit off base.

We are all feeling his pain.

I believe the deficit was 7, give or take a point, when Simpson’s strip was whistled a foul and both free throws were made. That felt like a potential hinge moment.

Castleton should be out of the rotation need to play Bajema and give Teske, Davis most time at 5 with Johns getting a few and give him a chance he just does not do anything real well. Bajema can at least give a spark on offense even with Livers today Michigan would not have won this game with no help from Brooks, Dejulius or Wagner they need to be more consistent to be a good team.

Johns has passed up 3-4 open looks at 3 for a ball fake long 2 and a few drives.

I’d prefer he take the open 3s he’s proven he can shoot them at a decent clip and it really helps space the floor.

Everyone has played hard. Unfortunately that doesn’t help shots go in

I guess I didn’t realize I had to take so much into consideration when commenting in an open thread. Next time I will be sure to point out every other player’s shortcomings on that day before I say anything about Simpson (Who I love by the way)

Overstatement much?

Without Livers, I’m not confident Michigan beats Purdue or the following road game
@ Minnesota. How do you guys feel about those games? 1-1? 2-0? 0-2?

Yeah, this was far from an effort loss. The team with the better players won.

I know the step back was DDJ’s bread and butter in high school,but when he steps back a 3, Ijust cringe.

I appreciated the soft troll the radio broadcast had on the Sparty fans chanting MVP. No MVP in college basketball.

that take by DDJ most encouraging thing ive seen all day

So Sparty is still launching bombs at this point the game? I guess it’s better than the dunk line they used to form in past blowout wins.

Unfortunate that MSU hit those shots to make it look like a blowout
