WTKA Roundtable 2/20/2020: The Orc That You Hear
Things discussed:
- Rutgers is a terrible shooting team. They needed half a dozen ludicrous shots to get to inefficient.
- The Castleton'ing.
- IU: hard to judge because Indiana's coaching was so bad. If there's one school that ought to be firing their coach right away and hiring John Beilein, it's Indiana.
- Craig: Indiana game was their best of the season. IU's backcourt can't play man—whenever they tried something other than the high hedge X was killing them with they were running into each other.
- How far up is Michigan trending: top four?
- Brian sexy reads Jacob Young's stat line after the guy talked crap at X all night.
- Caller: What to do with Beilein? Cleveland/Dan Gilbert have a terrible culture. The Cavs are high schoolers who rejected an adult.
- Andre Drummond, nobody is picking up that player option.
- Beilein walked into moronic management. What did he do at Michigan: he was careful about picking players based on their personality.
- INCREDIBLE GOLLUM IMPERSONATION AT 29:00
- Dantonio versus the Photo.

If he considers an 18-footer from the worst shooter in the Big Ten a good shot then yeah they missed some of those.

I haven’t listened to this in a while. Is Ed gone or just absent this week? And Weintraub?
February 21st, 2020 at 9:12 AM ^
I guess Im the only one who wishes we could get John Belien back

"Andre Drummond, nobody is picking up that player option."
Uhhh, one would assume that Andre Drummond will pick up his own player option, no? I think that's the point of a player option.
February 21st, 2020 at 1:52 PM ^
I think the point is that either 1) he takes the player option and stays in Cleveland or 2) he rejects the player option and becomes a free agent who no one will pay as much as the player option is worth. So really it should read "Andre Drummond, nobody is paying as much as that player option" I suppose

WTKA - stop playing that "wasn't me" clip. Jeeezus, it made the whole third segment unlistenable.
February 21st, 2020 at 12:05 PM ^
Also. It's not funny. It's worse than an MGOblog meme that's been beaten to death.

The pic with DDJ and Castleton flexing, with Simpson grinning in the back is priceless....pretty sure he is thinking what, exactly, are you flexing young Colin?

@29:02 "Gollum is a hobbit that has been corrupted..."
Is that true? I thought he was just a smallish human back in his Smeagol days.
February 21st, 2020 at 10:16 PM ^
Yes, Sméagol was from the Stoor branch of Hobbits..
