Appreciate Danny treating the first Q as if his life depended on the answer
Great recap! Appreciate the quotes.
I was intrigued by Tre’s comment on the Auburn/Yale game last year. Curious if anyone knows why Tre was so cryptic with that answer?
Guessing it had something to do with Aden Holloway playing 13 minutes with a 0 Ortg, 1 rebound, and 1 turnover
Those Yale guys have the same conspiracy vibes as us:
Q. I’m curious if any of you guys have gotten a chance to talk to Danny Wolf on the other side. There’s a potential you could face him in the next round and I wonder what that might be like.
JOHN POULAKIDAS: Yeah, I spoke to Danny a little bit. We’re all kind of anticipating that the committee might have put us against each other in the first round, just for the nature of the game and obviously the competitive spirit that I thought Yale versus Michigan might bring.
But Danny is our brother. He’s had a great year, and we’re all super proud of him and what he’s been able to do at Michigan this year, and hopefully we’ll meet up in the second round.
Bit spicier from Jones:
Q. One of your former players Danny Wolf, what’s it been like bet on himself, kind of make the jump up and have the success he’s having this year?
JAMES JONES: All these jumps up, huh? Hey, listen, Danny is a tremendous player. He did a tremendous job for us and his stats are very similar, what he did for us and what he’s doing now. Only thing he is not doing is shooting his free throws as well as he did for us.
He’s a tremendous player. His usage is higher for Michigan than it was for us. But I’ve been watching him, following Danny all year. We’ve communicated all year. Great kid, great young man, great family. Couldn’t be happier for him. I’m sure he can’t be happier for us.
A lot of people telling me, I’m sure the guys from the NCAA, they put those two teams, maybe you’ll play them in the second round. Yeah, I think that was the last thing on their mind, Danny Wolf playing against Yale in the NCAA Tournament.
It would be a lot of fun if we got to that point, and that would mean we actually won a game in the NCAA Tournament again, as did they, so I’m voting for that.
danny’s response to that first question felt like it was directed by nathan fielder. he was silent for literally twenty seconds.
The facial expressions from Tre when the guy was asking Danny about Auburn overlooking them are absolutely hysterical. He really wanted to slap that question-asker
