Poole -- half-time hero
Loved reading about Jordan Poole going around the locker room at half-time talking to and firing up Robinson, Rahk, Matthews, Zavier and Moe. Most 18-year-old freshman would be hesistant to try to take over a room full of guys with a lot more experience, but I'm guessing that Poole was oblivious to that. I also thought his 6 points in the 2nd were significant to us getting back in the game, and that he just looked relaxed when it seemed like the rest of the team was struggling:

Mountains of swag
Makes the other team cry.
Mo broke Coach Raff's specs too - speaking of onions!
That's outstanding!!! Poole is going to play a huge role next year, maybe as a starter, maybe off the bench. But he'll be a leader on the team helping to keep everyone focused. This is the kind of player that makes Beilein look soo good - the kind of player that is moldable, exciteable, and just plain good.
Kid is gonna do some scoring damage wihle he's at Michigan. Be nice to see that start Monday!
a team that has such great chemistry with everybody is contributing.
Against Villanova's offense, that can be fatal.
It will be a tradeoff of Off vs Def, to see how much playing time he will get on Monday.
Hopefully, Mo, Charles & Jordan can help calm down the nerves of the other starters, to let them just play their game.
Love his passion for the game. He has fun out there!
trey burke could often get wherever he wanted - hes gotta be coachs best recruit at driving. poole has some offensive game though so well see how he develops
"Beline"? Come on man.
I think it was clear to Poole that when he got in in the 2nd half that we needed a spark. Mathews had success with his athletism in the 1st, taking people off the dribble and Poole did the same. I loved him taking some authority! That got us in the crowd going and sparked the team. Didn't know about the halftime talk til just now but I love seeing his play follow his halftime talk. What a leader!
Typical Beilein find. Great kid as well as great player

has more heart than I can imagine. It's been such a joy watching this run. They are the living definition of a team - every game someone different seems to step up and make the plays that spark the rest of the team.
were the key. (Points 7, 8, and 9 didn't hurt, either.)
