Was marveling at the team win over UM at their place. I know they've had their number but still, so many things to like about the game.
Gotta shout out to Coleman...steals, blocks, rebounds, deep 3s, and crazy good defense. One of his best games. Had no idea he could be this good --seems to have gained a lot of determination and confidence.
Guerrier, oozes leadership on top of all around play, and HARD cuts for open looks.
Does anyone understand angles and how to use the backboard like Domask? How many times does he beat his man for a half second and up and in it goes? For most guys, those shots carom out half the time --Domask seems like he makes 80-90% of them. Not his best game, but an off game for him is still important.
Ty getting better little by little. Really worked on his FTs and attacking in the lane. Still has some trouble finishing, but really noticeable improvement. Love how he's developing.
Harmon providing that sixth man and outside shooting we absolutely need with TSJ out.
Goode doing a lot of little things better and better on top of the shooting.
Dain not getting a lot of minutes, but no question he's helping in limited time.

Did not see it coming after the news broke last month. That is all.

Any insider's have any word on some rumors i'm seeing on reddit re: DGL's mom being upset with playing time? She is going to facebook and going on rants (per the post). Guy isn't sharing screenshots or links because he isn't trying to violate reddit TOS for doxing. Link can be found here:

@LvilleILL @Indy Illini Fan if you've got any info its much appreciated!
It’s been discussed in the Michigan post game thread

all good, i found it.

Hopefully DGL is committed/bought in. After the !!!! show last season, I have no time for diva's on this team anymore.
Don’t understand it at all. If the goal is to be as successful as possible as basketball players in their lifetime ($), as underclassmen, players and their families should be prioritizing an environment where they get the best DEVELOPMENT, not where they get the most playing time. I don’t know if it’s entitlement or short-sightedness or something else, but some of these people aren’t thinking straight.

Unless I can't count, I think he's only played us 4 times in his career counting the exhibition this year, so he's even adding an extra loss (probably anticipating this year's tournament)

He didn't play in one of the games, because he was sick, so I don't think it shows up on that website.

Here’s a look at Dickinson’s performance in four games — all losses to the Illini.

He scored 31 points on 14-of-21 shooting and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds in Michigan’s 91-87 double overtime loss to Illinois on March 2, 2023 in Champaign. He had three assists, three blocks and five turnovers in that game.

Dickinson, who was ill, did not play in a 68-53 loss to the Illini on Jan. 14, 2022 in Champaign. He scored 13 points on 4-of-13 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds in a 93-85 loss to the Illini on Feb. 27, 2022 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

As a freshman, Dickinson scored six points on 1-of-8 shooting with five rebounds in a 76-53 loss to the Illini on March 2, 2021 at Michigan.

Plus the Maui exhibition loss gets us to 0-5.
