SKLARS TONIGHT
Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle in Royal Oak. Show's at 7:30, doors at 6:30, VICTORS books for sale and signing after the show. HOT TAKES segment during the show if enough MGoBlog fans are there. Tickets.
Things Discussed:
- Basketball big picture: they're a good team, though they've been more of a 10-seed than a 4-seed since January because they hit their ceiling.
- Strategy has stagnated but tactics are good, wins close games.
- Take Michigan in the 1st round vs a 12 or 13 because they won't have someone who can stop Vlad.
- Tre Donaldson needs to play better—ball is getting stuck in Wolf's hands, also Tre's defense has fallen off.
- Cason? Very high upside: defensive athleticism, #1 on the team at getting himself to the rack, shooting is just bad luck—big difference between his shots that circle the rim and Gayle's shots that barely touch it. But he's not going to be ready this year.
- During break: Craig uses the F-word. Is something wrong with Tre Holloman? Seth: If that guy played for us we'd love him.
- MSU floor-kissing: mostly nothing. Seth believes the rule should be whoever wins gets the midcourt/midfield logo. That game was over.
- Women's basketball: Michigan's playing five guards, the game has gotten much better, incredible what KBA did after her roster was gutted by the portal. They can stick with anyone in the country.
- Hockey: Need help. No bid stealers. Comfortable that one of the many Big Ten and Hockey East at-large teams will win their tournaments, need Arizona State to go out, need Quinnipiac to go out early enough not to pass Michigan or win their bid.
- Naurato: This won't be a problem again. What does he mean? Maybe he's going to raid Canada.
