Poole with 8 maybe 9 at the first media timeout and all of it is within the natural flow of the offense.

Yup, if theyā€™re gonna keep taking off balanced, off the dribble long twos Iā€™ll be very pleased.

Poole 8, Northwestern 7. Free throw to come.

The only Northwestern Iā€™ve seen was during the 2nd half against Indiana but good call to everyone that said they were going to have trouble scoring. It definitely looks like thatā€™s going to be the case.

Poole doing a 2013 Burke vs. Northwestern impression? letā€™s seeā€¦

Perfect start, tbh. Banked three and a super difficult, late shot fall away. The Pardon dunk was a play with really good man and ball movement that left Poole confused, in a spot he should have tagged Pardon rolling.

But the play design was extremely good, very difficult for JP there.

Pooleā€™s good for a random easy miss every game it seems. Itā€™s odd because he makes a ton of tough finishes.

Michigan looks to be switching almost all of Northwesternā€™s off ball screens. Wildcats are versatile because they play so many wings, but switching all of that action has been an effective counter.

Lol how does Z make those

I love the fact that thatā€™s a consistent shot in Simpsonā€™s repertoire.

Man if he can keep beating people of the bounce like that Z is a huge difference maker.
