also liked your discussion about the “michigan assists” on sunday – - something that goes generally unnoticed… enjoyed listening to ya on the radio

Hey David you make some really good points man, seems like your amount of knowledge for basketball could get you into coaching eventually?? I could see a future for you at Michigan. Just wondering if you were venturing down that path? Anyways Go Blue!

David, I was en route to Ann Arbor during the Houston Baptist game and listening on the radio. The first few minutes I had no idea who was doing the analysis but kept thinking “this guy should be a little more assertive, every time he speaks it’s on point and smart.” In short, I thought you were excellent and don’t be afraid to speak up a little more!

Thanks David. Good analysis, you are right on. One other thing though, we need D. Sims to get more physical and mentally tough. He should stay right in the box – that’s his strength.

They should have a button on here for comment edits because I forgot a word! :) “…it’s worth a shot to give the Sims/Gibson lineup more minutes in order to improve our interior defense and rebounding.”

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Really, really appreciate it.

Giddings – tough question to answer lol :) this team will grow in a lot of areas throughout the year.

Gary – I didn’t even really think about that point. That is a really valid point. I just think it’s worth a shot to the Sims/Gibson lineup more minutes in order to improve our interior defense and rebounding.

I see Big Ten wins from PSU, NW, Purdue, OSU, and Michigan. The Challenge may come down to the MSU/UNC game and the Minnesota/Miami game. Unfortunately ACC is the home team for both.
