Congrats to Teske/Z - Tie record most UM wins
I know we can get down on Teske, especially now. I know Z has his limitations on O. But, these two have been great basketball players for Michigan basketball in their careers. I am ready for the next chapter with new recruits, but hope we can give Z and Teske a great finish to this season. Lets go out with a bang!! Thank you Z and Teske. We appreciate you.

That is an amazing stat for both of them and for the program! Shows how good the team had been I the last handful of years.

The above article says they're now tied in career victories (104) with such Michigan Basketball greats as Glen Rice, Mark Hughes, Jordan Morgan, and the legendary J. P. Oosterbaan.

J.P. will always be one of my favorite Oosterbaans to ever play basketball for Michigan.

JP and his Comet teammates ended my basketball career. I held him to just 49 points on the night.

Congrats to Teske! I am somewhat confused with Simpson being tied with Teske even though he hasn’t played In last few games. Although I am happy with Jackson’s production at the point guard position replacing him.

As long as you appear in a single game without redshirting, any individual on the team is credited with team wins. So for example Bajema has 15 wins in his career so far and Simpson is credited for the win against Nebraska even though he was suspended

It's a joke about Simpson's rad new alter ego.

Hopefully Z gets over that random case of mono soon, but I’m glad to have Jackson in the backcourt right now.

Technically, Oosterbaan did not play during his Freshman year since he was redshirted. During his 4 years counting his redshirt year he did compile 104 wins during his tenure at Michigan.
If you are using the same metrics of counting redshirt seasons, James Voskuil and Rob Pelinka have 123 wins during their tenure as Michigan basketball players, counting their redshirt seasons.
Technically James Voskuil and Rob Pelinka own the record.

I think this team is going to win the Big Ten Tourney and get hot at the end of the season.
Livers is still rounding up from his injury. Davis is on fire. Brooks is playing great. DDJ is getting more confidence. Johns is still getting better. Franz can play better and his D is tough.
X and Teske are going to finish strong. 1-2 more losses before the NCAA Tournament starts.

To win on the road by 25 in a crucial Big Ten game and have those two have arguably their worst conference games of the year in the same game...
To me this team is hitting their stride and what a perfect opportunity for everyone else to make their contributions. We are rounding into a team that will be fun to watch for the rest of the year. The Teske/X combination will help drive them to win more big games the rest of the year and pad their lofty career numbers. The experience those two possess will be a big factor.

these guys will be missed
teske has had issues as of late, but they have been a pleasure to watch overall.
what they've done for the program cannot be overstated
