@TheHoopHerald He seemed scared during the Michigan game in tourney and missed a ton of easy shots - wonder if his mental game will hold him back

Koa Peat should spend 4 years in college and try to rack up 20-25 Million
Hard to be 6’8 with zero floor stretching ability in the NBA but can dominate college basketball by being a freak of nature

@eringrugan Pretty sure they started even higher and went down - there were still “face value” direct issue tickets available on Ticketmaster yesterday
English
Just an FYI for people blaming Sixers fans for not showing out for Game 3...
This was the direct from the team "face value" for lower level corner, way back behind the net, 12 rows up. $459 for one ticket!
Sixers priced out their own fans knowing Knicks fans would spend more.

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate. It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders. propublica.org/article/flex-l…

@EmbiidIsHim This does kind of suck as a NY Based Sixers fan who would rather attend a game in Philly. @JoelEmbiid can you help the NY Sixers fans?
English
Breaking news: home team wants their own fans to attend the game instead of the opposing fans just showing up cause they were priced out of their own arena
New York Basketball@NBA_NewYork
The Sixers are officially trying to keep Knicks fans out: “Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of Greater Philadelphia area. Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside area will be canceled without notice and refunds given”

@howardlindzon I’m sure it’s something tangible but feels like they just threw in rental kit to rhyme w dental kit

Bend Over and say ahhhhhh
John Arnold@johnarnold
TIL that it costs $194,753 to attend your first year as a dental student at the University of the Pacific.

@CitizenCohn I still can’t believe they counted the basket several seconds after the lights went out in the Oakland game.

@MichNasty86 Crawford got screwed by the @NCAA so he only had half a season before being ineligible for having a family help him out of a tough situation in high school. mgoblue.com/news/2000/2/1/…

Are we going to start a petition to get Glenn Rice and Jamal Crawford around the program. Is there a backstory I’m unfamiliar with???? These dudes are basketball legends!

@BBsBigHouse1 Do you think there is a bit of self-reinforcing bias in that modern teams coach a more stats aligned strategy and thus score higher in advanced stats?

Real question: is John Beilein the best thing to ever happen to Michigan men's basketball?
Clayton Sayfie@CSayf23
Dusty May on John Beilein: "We talk regularly. He's always conscious about, he knows when my off days are, he knows when to call. He's sat in this seat, so he knows how many directions you're being pulled. I enjoy it every single time. He sends me texts, we talk, he sends great nuggets. He sends some things, just reminders of what to be looking out for. "Such a valuable resource to have a Hall of Fame coach that's watching your games, that knows your personnel, that knows the opponents, that has that background information. Because there are a lot of times you have a coach like that, that you may have a personal relationship with, but they don't know your team or the other teams or understand the league. It's an incredibly valuable resource for us — for me and our staff — to have that." on3.com/teams/michigan…

@Axeman203 @JacksonSpears22 @illinihead21 Both sides probably true - top 100-200 get some visit from nba scouts. But he was not on mock drafts and even Michigan homer boards did not think he would go 1st round til later in season. Can’t speak for nba scouting departments.
English
@JacksonSpears22 @davegreenfield @illinihead21 i was at that practice with 7 nba scouts bc i run marketing for one of the franchises that later drafted him. enjoy google

Who the fuck has Michigan developed? Danny Wolf was getting drafted last year no matter where he went

"A big part of me transferring was focusing on my career development." Morez Johnson Jr. has certainly developed in his first season in Ann Arbor. The Journey features the star sophomore's impact on No. 3 @umichbball 👇

@itsAntWright When I looked at Mara’s stats and height when he transferred - it seemed like someone who might not even contribute much this year. Only Yax was a sure thing.

Revisionist History
• Underutilized backup UCLA center
• Underutilized backup Illinois center
• UNC fans told the PG to kick rocks
• All offseason I heard how overrated Yaxel was on both sides of the court
i own a home@home0wner
I mean, Michigan has top players from UCLA, UNC, Illinois + someone who prob should be a rookie in the NBA right now. This is what college basketball has come to. It’s an NCAA All-Star team. So corny.

Brad Reese, grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, calls out The Hershey Co. for “quietly replacing” the ingredients in the candy:
“My grandfather built REESE’S on a simple, enduring architecture: Milk Chocolate + Peanut Butter. Not a flavor idea. Not a marketing construct. A real, tangible product identity that consumers have trusted for a century.
But today, REESE'S identity is being rewritten, not by storytellers, but by formulation decisions that replace Milk Chocolate with compound coatings and Peanut Butter with peanut‑butter‑style crèmes across multiple REESE’S products.”

@CollegeHoopsTIk He’s trying to win a championship not a POY trophy…but he does need to get his 3pt shooting up for pro evals.

Yaxel Lendeborg has scored ten or less points in seven of his last 14 games, including his six-point performance tonight. His last 14:

Michigan doesn’t need him to put up superstar numbers, but his POY candidacy is declining.
