Rob Gray trash talking Poole before the shot
"Yo Poole where you from?" Gray asked.
Poole winced, gritted his teeth and spit a response.
"Milwuakee."
"That's nice," Gray said. "You 'bout to go back to Milwaukee."
The rest is history. Go Blue.

It was from an article from the Athletic, and I believe the Wolverine covered it as well. I'll try to find something.

Yeah, that's some pretty weak trash talking there. We were way more vicious in my day around my way. Anything in your personal life. Brothas did research. We would talk about your momma as a matter of course.
Prior to a match:
Esterhaus, you thinking of going to college?
Ya.
Not after I crack open your head today.
I beat him anyway. Talk is cheap. Just play the game.
all in fun really.
also, he should know that spring semester @ UM isn't over - we don't just "play school".
everyone was trash talking. If Wagner was not on our team I'm pretty sure I'd hate him every time he was on the floor lol. It's part of the game and a hell of a game that was at the end...
kinda weirded me out in the final mins. Not gonna say anything bad about a child, but was just weird. Rob did impress me tho, and players like him are great for the game! In the moment tho, I think even most of us thought the run was over, so the comments are not really surprising. But god bless Poole and the shot will be one of my favorite memories of Michigan basketball for years to come!
Well that trash talk blew up in his face. But Gray was congratulatory to Poole and Michigan after the game so I give him credit for being mature.
That's an interesting version of trash talking too. I'll try some variants of it this week:
"So, how's thw weather back home?"
"Eh, cold but dry."
"BOOM! ROASTED."
No, actually I don't think I will.
He was wrong either way - we were going back to Ann Arbor ;).
you'll hear woofing during the game. happens all the time.
If you can get under someone's skin, you get an advantage--they falter in a pressure situation. And they give you a nice fat fastball right over the plate. Say goodnight, Gracie...
Say Less.
Do More.
signed, Jordan Poole
I had not watched that shot yet today. Now after 13 more times I might be good for a few hours. You cannot really see the smack talk on CBS footage. Still a great story. Do More, Say Less.
Tbh-cool post. Love that Poole kept it cool and sent THEM home. Awesome. UM basketball is riding sky high
Everything about Man Bun cracks me up, but Gray can ball. That creep can roll, man.
