I still believe he saved their season last year with the two clutch free throws against UCLA. Who seriously knows what happens if he misses one of those.
Being 2-0 in conference in early December is a great feeling

Positives:
Iggy has answered all questions regarding pretty much every part of his game this year. 23 points on 18 shots is pretty damn good against that defense.
Poole took some bad threes in the second half, but he had some huge plays down the stretch that were vital for the victory.
Brooksā three was cold blooded.
Iāll chalk up most negatives to Evanston voodoo as we have a decent amount of data saying theyāre probably not trends, but manā¦ Simpsonās little stretch at the end was absolutely inexplicable. I canāt imagine a 25% shooter taking those shots is more efficient than driving it if he must be the one to use the possession.

Iād be curious what Livers numbers are at the 4 vs. 5. Sure seems like he just canāt get going at the four.

Shocked we only had 9 tos, seemed like we had a lot more
I will bet that Beilein told him to keep shooting the 3 if they arenāt going to guard you.
At the same time, Beilein took him out until there was only a defensive possession left. I wonder if itāll come up in the presser.

The fact that he took him out of the game after 3 misses in a row makes me think that he didnāt want him shooting those
10 rebounds for Teske. Heās a cominā

You tell em! They won a road game in which they didnāt play well. You better not even smile, kids! Wolverheel is mad you didnāt light the place on fire.

If teams choose to play X that way and he canāt hit a few, then Eli subbing in is our only reliable counter right now. Sure weāll scheme up some moreā¦(I hope)

IMO, Beilein wanted him taking those, but he just knew he couldnāt afford him out there if heās gonna go 0-5 while Vic Law plays free safety.

Either way, putting Brooks in was a clutch decision. People have had their concerns with him, but Iāll take a 40% three point shooter off the bench.

And Iāll say again, that hook and hold call is ridiculous. There is a difference between a blatant, egregious hook and hold and one thatās inadvertent and the result of players arms getting tangled up. You know which of the two I thought the Teske call was. But, yes, the stoppages In order to go to the monitor really stops the flow of the game, and at the end of the game itās almost unbearable.

5-20 from 3.
The bench had at least 40 minutes and only 3 points.
3 points from Charles Matthews.
I canāt believe we won that game on the roadā¦I give credit to Beilein for the Brooks over Simpson call. Gutsy move and it paid off.

Yeah. That would be great for the team. Heās a highly skilled kid and I donāt get to see practiceā¦but tape from the games suggest we donāt get our hopes up quite yetā¦
Itās inexplicable that what Teske did supposedly warrants a technical, but obvious clear path fouls are basically never called.

Who knows if Beilein is okay with some of those Zavier threes. Obviously not the best shot either given his shooting strugglesā¦BUTā¦I still applaud and love Zavierās confidence and willingness to shoot. No fear to keep putting them up. He (rightfully) felt offended and at least wanted to make them pay. Iāll take that attitude for sure.
