<p>No Sam today. <a href='https://shop.undergroundshirts.com/collections/mgoblog/products/the-smoke-canvas-triblend-t-shirt-yellow-gold'>Dusty shirt is maize</a>; get it before we play MSU again.</p>
<p>Things Discussed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Men's & Women's Basketball win at Breslin: 40 basketball wins.</li>
<li>Jeremy Fears's instant karma for his dirty play. Impossible not to see all the extra stuff that guy does when you rewatch the games: yankbacks, pulldowns, more trips. Ira counted 80 yards in penalties and a targeting.</li>
<li>MSU game: Brilliant defensive first half, all MSU could do consistently was get to the free throw line. Calling out their dirty play goes right to their heart because it's the best thing they can do.</li>
<li>Going 2-3 zone out of halftime made good tactical sense but ball betrayed them a bit, good resilience to fight back.</li>
<li>More tactics: Michigan was getting it down to Mara but he's not big enough on the block to make that.</li>
<li>McKenney love: He's played his way to Michigan's best two—Burnett and Gayle are losing minutes to him. Anticipates screens, is big, and his midrange pullups are a good floor for possessions that help you against an elite defense. Really important for what this team needs to be going forward.</li>
<li>Who's M's best draft pick? We'd take Morez.</li>
<li>Who's the best five? Depends on opponent and context. Might not play Mara vs a 5-out team, can go three bigs against an MSU-like opponent.</li>
<li>Who's the best team in the Big Ten? Illinois. They go to Breslin and host Michigan but the rest of their schedule are the mids Michigan already played, they got the best player in the league from the composite 250s in Wagler—worst scouting miss in history? Hope Underwood calls out MSU's assist lies so Wagler gets his laurels for his real assists.</li>
<li>Michigan next year? Might only have to replace Yaxel (McKenney and Cason take Gayle and Burnett minutes), can go to the portal for a difference-maker and run it back.</li>
<li>Penn State preview: They have Mingo back but Yuric played out of his mind last time and think he's not coming back from a 103-degree fever on Saturday to play like that again. Have a bunch of questionable guys tonight. Think University Park atmosphere is similar to Saline 7th Grade Middle School game. WEAR PINK (I can't; I don't have any).</li>
<li>What's the reverse Dusty May for Izzo? Sing he's a jolly good fellow, or bring out the newspapers.</li>
<li>Hockey: MSU series could be for the conference since Wisconsin is wilting and Penn State just lost McKenna to a bar fight. Michigan needs to get more than a split because MSU has Minnesota, Notre Dame, and Ohio State left, and Michigan still has to play the other contenders.</li>
<li>Put me down for this: Mick Cronin is going to complain about Michigan buying players when he comes to Ann Arbor. Craig says he'll dog his own players.</li>
</ul>
