[QUOTE="BMoreIllini, post: 1593163, member: 631021"] Anyone else feel like BU was taking a bit of a shot at Juwan Howard when talking about the schedule issues in the post game presser? BU's comments (starting [URL='https://youtu.be/s4RLY0JobLE?t=910']around 15:10[/URL]): "We're gonna do what the league asks us to do.[B] There's a character issue in this in my opinion[/B], we're all part of a league... we're gonna take the high road... yeah, we're a man down and we're gonna fight like hell and I'm proud of the guys in the locker room because they've been nothing but incredible. The fact we got to go on the road and play 5 of 6 and turn around and play in 30 hours when the team we're playing has been off a week, so what, bring it on." Compare that to Juwan Howards comments before they were returning to play (Feb 9th): “I don’t think there’s a right answer to give you because no one has ever experienced it before,” Howard said, “You just try to manage it the best way you can and making sure you don’t put our players in a situation where you get injured or set your team back. We’ve done a really good job so far gradually getting ourselves back to the Michigan way. The Michigan way is our habits. Our habits of how we play offensively and defensively. Yesterday was a great start to it. We’re going to practice again today and I’m looking forward to win the day. Each and every day we’re going to try and improve.” [/QUOTE]
