Anyone heard anything on Moore's injury?

We just have to trust Bruce with Howard. If it was me, he would be done, but Bruce must see something he thinks is fixable. If he can't figure it out under Bruce though, then I'm not sure he will figure it out. CBM gets shite sometimes, but he took the coaching and has grown up a lot. Howard can too, but its 100% up to him.

He was starting to get a LOT of minutes over the last couple of weeks and then last night hardly any. I am guessing this is the source of the fighting.

There were really only 5-6 guys Bruce trusted to be on the court last night. Even Pett only got 14 min

Yep and when on the court Jakhi drifted off Lanier and he hit that 3. Got his arse chewed and checked out.

Yep. Points were at a premium and every single defensive possession mattered. The only knock Bruce has had on Pet is his defense, and he knows that Denver is one of the best on-ball defenders in the country. Miles was good on defense last night, too. We couldn't score, so we had to prioritize not letting them score. Pet made the most of his time on the court, Jahkai didn't.

Exactly. Sometimes, a game turns into something where your skill set isn't what's needed and you just gotta roll with it. Tahaad is one of the top freshmen in the league, if not the country, and played short minutes as you said, because he defense was a liability. Ziegler was absolutely cooking him. But he settled down a bit in the 2nd half and made a few baskets when we needed them.

Also, I would like to point out how clutch Chaney was late in that game. He has a couple baskets and a couple big time defensive trips after they hit that three to go up 1. I think they went up 4 of 5 after that and Chaney was great during that stretch.

Yeah Chaney had 6 points in that key stretch in the middle of that second half and couple of those were some real big boy points in the mix down low. He battled for sure

She’s been at every home game for years.

Not sure about away games.

Was there any more updates on Jahki? I really hoped he could figure it out but I’m starting to doubt his ability to change

Trey Donaldson may have just won the game for Michigan against PSU. He's been clutch in this game, and has been a big part of that team so far.

Us and Houston jumped Duke in KenPom.

1 -Auburn
2 - Houston
3 - Duke
4 - Florida

We have also moved to 11th in defense and still 1 in offense.

We are unanimous 1 in both AP/Coaches and 1 in the NET rankings.

It’s good to be King.

Iowa State losing helped that. I think the one hold out from being unanimous last week voted for ISU. ISU also lost to Arizona last night after an amazing buzzer beating shot from beyond halfcourt sent the game to overtime.

The overtime was a hell of a good watch too. Arizona hit some absolutely crazy clutch 3's.
