board i'm sure people are just thrilled with uh having a close game the most most of the way anthony

it was a meat grinder of a game kind of like a big 10 game classic big 10 game michigan came out

a little bit too sloppy yaxell lendeborg you talked to him after the game sounded like he said maybe they felt like they were a little tight early with just kind of packed crowd, Trey Burke Knight, the intensity. He was hot in here tonight. It just felt like one of those big games. And Trey McKenney, I talked to him while you were talking to Yax, said that this felt different than any game they've had all year. The intensity was a great experience for them to have because they're going to have a lot of these going forward. Yeah. And actually, Yax-Landaborg more or less kind of said that maybe they were a little too amped up, maybe not so much tight. Gotcha. You know, there were comments made by this, this week by an Ohio State player. Colin White. Colin White, who I don't even believe played tonight.

No, no, he played. He had a, they let him get a little two in transition early. Which doubled his average, by the way. Ever just 0.8 points of game. Go ahead. Well, I didn't notice him, certainly. Not enough to, not to the extent of a Bruce Thornton or some of the other guys out there. But yeah, this was one of those classic sort of Big Ten slugfest rivalry type of games.

And what you want to see from, you know, a team that has the DNA to win this league is that when you get in those games late, you have the ability to lift and separate. And that was a trait that I think we saw this team flexed tonight.

They flexed it a lot throughout the year, but more so, you know, packed house,

amped up building, Trey Burke Knight, Ohio State, you know, on the other bench,

really just commend those guys who, you know, again, I think they set such a high bar for themselves early in this year that, you know, any sort of come down registers as, oh, have they peaked too early? Oh, if they this, oh, if they that.

I do think over the last week or so, I've done a better job of looking a little more like themselvesonsistent results offensively in that stretch.

But when they're able to play defense and get out and run,

there's not a team that really can hang with them in this league

unless you're a Wisconsin that makes 15 threes in a game.

So happy to see that, happy to see, like I said,

that lift and separation and happy to see the Yaksa-Lendabor kind of look like the guy they brought him here to be. I want to talk about Yax in a second. Let's start with the defense. I thought John Mowbly Jr. is a problem. He's a bucket. Like, I give him a lot of credit. He's a bunch of shots, and then that opened things up for his teammates, the gravity that he has. He's kind of a jitterbug, right? And then I wanted to look at this before we started recording and I forgot. But two or three of his threes, I think, might have been off second chance opportunities where he was part of why the defense kind of broke, and then they were able to just get the ball.

And if you lose him for a second, like Michigan did a few times in the first half, did a better job, I thought, in the second half, he's going to make you pay. Like, he's, he's like as close as the Big Ten has to a, I don't even know. I don't want to compare him to like a Tomenaga or something. But, like, he's that type of shooter where you lose him, and it's pretty much three points.

You're just holding your breath every time he releases the ball. Bruce Thornt, the way Michigan defended him, he hit a couple pull-up jumpers early, but he ends with five points. Sorry, that's Bynum stats. Bruce Thornton, if I can read, 10 points, 3 of 11 from the field, 1 of 5 from 3. That 3 came really late when it didn't matter all that much. So he had more double dribbles that weren't called tonight than field goal makes, which is, you know, feathered Michigan's cap, I guess. Yeah, and it should have been, you know, over and back when a daimara came out and they called a file. Then they called a foul later. I might not have been on Thornton, but, you know, Merez was kind of hedging out far and they call on it. You can't touch a guy with this crew calling it DJ Carsonson, Baltimore calling the game. I don't know if I should say that. Is that your name for him? I didn't come up with that. That's online. Gotcha. Yeah.

Love. Baltimore calling the game. I don't know if I should say that. Is that your name for him? I didn't come up with that.

That's online.

Gotcha.

Yeah, I love DJ reffing.

There's nothing that says Big Ten primetime basketball on a Friday night, like a two-hour and 18-minute DJ Carsonson-refed game.
