DEATH STARE. Charles Matthews remains the most expressive Michigan player in recent history.

A rousing hurrah was detected. Beilein:

John Beilein, on WTKA this morning, said he wishes he could have been inside "one of the local drinking establishments" during the Florida game to witness the reaction to Isaiah Livers' dunk.

Poole working through it. Ethan Sears looks at Poole one year after the shot:

The questions about the shot against Houston flowed towards Poole on Saturday. Inevitably, they always will. Jordan Poole will never escape it.

One day after the season, Poole was working with Isaiah Livers in the gym and stopped to take a picture. Livers made fun, saying something to the effect of, “You made the big shots, Mr. Big Shots.” Poole snarled.

“I don’t wanna be known for only just the shot,” Poole said. “Know what I’m saying? Being able to put all the hard work that I have in, being able to start, get the opportunity. Last year I think I only played 11 minutes, something like that, in that game.”

DTE had trucks just sitting on the street yesterday in case the "bomb cyclone" that struck the area tore down a bunch of power lines. I put all the stuff that could blow away in the garage, and then I felt silly when it was just rather windy. I don't think the power went out much, if at all, in town.
