What was Winston eFG%? 27 points on 13 shots. Wow.
Simpson took two more shots than Cassius.
It really is a guard-driven game. When your PG is your best player, that makes life a lot easier.

I still believe in Z in that matchup. Every dog has its day.
Winstonâs been hearing, âyeah, butâ for two years. Today he got his. Even a shut down corner has a bad day at the office now and then.
Maybe they thought they would catch Winston out with the double-team by throwing it at him early on, but. . . I thought it sent a curious signal about Simpsonâs ability to guard him, andâwellâbackfired.
Also thought we saw what everyoneâs been saying about dubious ball-handling by Iggy Livers. Obviously what they need to work on over the summer.
Dunno what went down with Poole and the officials; looked like that live ball foul with McQuaid looked clean at a time when we needed a break. . .
Iâm too chicken to respond with this to jamo, but I will leave it here.

Kinda refutes the notion that the offense wasnât a problem. First time in a while that I thought Izzo outcoached Beilein.

Wonder if anybody in the B1G this year has scored 27 points on 13 shots?
Itâs not an issue with the program, analytics will tell you unless your really good at post ups itâs not a good idea. He is right that post ups are just something we donât do and our post entry passing is dreadful.

I donât know, build the kid a statue. Iâll take the guy who fâd up his world 3 games in a row before this one.

Can we call it a conscious decision by the coach, then? Iâm sorry, but Iâm still flummoxed by JMoâs tweet earlier.
What did he say? Okay, found it. Didnât we do a lot of that high hedging last year? Didnât it come in for some criticism then? Still donât understand the rationale.
I thought the bigs hedged too hard and long this game. MSU frequently found the roll man for layups and even if that guy didnât score, theyâd make a one more for a easy look. That was the worst ball screen defense I feel like Michigan has played this year. Maybe Iâm over emphasizing it because of who they lost to but almost all their offense was ran through ball screens. Super frustrating they couldnât stop it when they knew beforehand it was what they were going to do.

It wasnât that he took issue with the high hedging that threw me off, it was this:
Now, he could be talking about hitting the roll man after they switch. Sure your big has a guard on him, but you have a big on you blocking out the sun. Itâs not always an easy thing.
I just feel that JMo is adding to the easy layman narrative that Iâve seen all over that you just need to dump it into the post (Even Raftery called for it during the broadcast.), but I feel that if anyone should know why this team doesnât do it or wonât do it, itâs him.
Whatâs next, is Nik going to tweet out how this team shouldnât do so many PnRs or shoot 3s? Is Bacari going to ask why the team has a dog on the locker room walls? Baffling to me.

Jmo was frustrated because he cares and doesnât want his school that he loves to lose to a team he dislikes. People need to quit making a huge deal about it.

I love his passion, I love what he gave to the program and his commitment to service now, but otherwise Iâll agree to disagree. Itâs no Archie Island, but Iâll die on this island.
If only Johns had played in those cupcake games, THEN heâd be ready to play against MSU. Because practicing against Teske/Livers/Iggy every day is more valuable than 5 minutes in a guarantee game. Gotta love that you are both uninformed and condescending
