To be fair, Tomi is a better 3 pt shooter and spacer. Tomi has had to take a bit of a backseat for Mirkovic but this time last year, I think most people would've been fine taking Tomi over Morez given the potential we sawYou prioritized Ben Humrichous in 2024 (

That felt a lot like IL vs IN football game. Start out promising then…ugly
This is the team Underwood put ogether. You can't win at a high level with these European players. NO DEFENSE AND ANO ATHLECISM. Stojavich put up good numbers on two terrible teams. Illinois is no more than a Sweet 16 team at best. Let us stop talking about them as a Final Four team, period. PITIFUL.

Made the score respectable at least. 
No reason we can’t make a deep postseason run still. This is one of very few teams that has answers to what we do best on offense and can negate our height advantage.

Michigan is a Tier 1 team. We are a Tier 2 team. Simple as that.
Everything after a Sweet 16 appearance is gravy for this team unfortunately.

Actually there's not a lot of basketball left. We are not fixing our weak areas. If you don't fix what's broken then you are not going to be effective.There’s still a lot of basketball left, and I like them as people — but at what point do you reconsider bringing the Ivisic brothers back…
(I hope this ages horribly)
Our chemistry and flow early in the year looked incredible.... What happened?
Another question: Who do you "mismatch hunt" when there's no mismatch?
Do we really have the best offensive efficiency numbers in the KenPom era? Ken better change his metrics, sorry.

Mm.. I knew they were going to be tough. But I've also watched them play subpar at times this year before ultimately pulling out the win. In other to flip that script, we needed to shoot it well. We didn't.
We actually executed very well to get Cadeau his second foul early. A real dream scenario for us. But then we couldn't hit open threes or create good looks inside. And of course we aren't built to beat physical teams. Never have been. We have a good S&C program but how many times have we ever gotten guys who *play* physical basketball? Kofi is really the only guy since Brad has been here who has been truly dominant inside.

I was worried all year about this game. Briefly got excited about it after our stretch of big wins. But went back to being worried after the recent losses.
We held them off for awhile but we got outplayed all game. Coaches needed a better gameplan than whatever that was.
We’re trending the wrong way at the wrong time…

Always the same every year, other super athletic teams whipe us out of the tourney.
We lost to a team capable of big boy basketball.
Sorry but we have a bunch of Euro 10 ply super soft guys. Good shooters until someone hits them. Wagler can’t do it alone, and he isn’t able to sell it enough for FT for some reason.
The content filter won’t allow me to describe what we are when facing a true physical team. MSU and now UM. Alabama too.
First one of those in the tourney and we’re done.

BS. You think our best effort gets us blown out at home? Absurd. We might still lose, but “seeing this coming” would have very little to do with Michigan and more to do with predicting us to come out flat in one of our biggest home games in 20 years.
No you didn’t! LOLYou prioritized Ben Humrichous in 2024 (
After the Texas Tech, game I thought he was going to be someone special...What a flameout...So disappointing..
2-4 in the last 6. Digressing at the wrong time of the year. Time to temper expectations for the tourney.
