Damn. Who do we think is going to guard this man? MJ? Michigan uses their 7 foot center like their point guard. Or do we just send our faster guard at him to create turnovers?

Good reason for Tomi and Morez to get used to playing together. This is going to be an essential matchup for the two big lineup with Morez on Wolf and Tomi on Golden.

We play these guys once 3 months from now, they’ll be tape on stopping one play. Let’s see also how those slow 7 footers guard our 5 out in space without fouling.

But to be fair it's not like they used things you haven't heard of

I like how they pick extremely specific stats to make it look more impressive. Ok all of this but also 2/4 from 3. First guy in 8 years. Probably 40 other guys achieved this but went 1/3 from 3 or 2/5 from 3 or 3/6 from 3, etc.

I get that it might look cool on tv but isn't an all orange arena more intimidating?

The noise will be intimidating, that's all that will really matter there.

I don't like it because it only takes a few people wearing the wrong color to throw off the effect. Plus all my cool stuff is orange and my tickets are in a blue section.

Really missed an opportunity to Paint the Hall Orange IMO. Twenty years and 10 days to the day after the Wake Forest game and them also likely coming in it #1 (and if we win both our games before then maybe we could even be #5 by then, just like in 2004).

Wisconsin and Tennessee are in the same week, so the Wisconsin game outcome won’t impact our ranking,

Tomas is surprisingly mobile for a 7 footer. We can always use Morez to guard Goldin inside. My recollection was Goldin is a foul machine.

If wolf is going to stand outside we have good size - Humrichous 6'9", Riley 6' 8" and Booth 6'10" to choose from.

Yes, maintaining that positional size to guard them through the PnR. When Crowl fouled out, they kept running that PnR and exploiting mismatches. Michigan is a well constructed team…hate to say it. We wanted Wolf for a reason.
