Wagner with some great postgame comments

From the Detroit News:

 

 

A couple of choice comments:

“It’s awesome when they slap the floor, the crowd goes wild and then you hit one and everybody’s silent again,”
"The whole last minute was so much fun because you kind of know you’re going to win, but they’re still talking, which is weird,” Wagner said. “Why would you talk when you lose?"

Nolan Smith is a Duke Asst Coach and an acquaintance of mine. Coach K's teams have been slapping the floor for decades. It's done on defense, by the guards who have their back to their teammates. It's a sign to the others to "bear down and D up." May seem silly but that's all it is.

for Michigan yesterday. I love seeing a big play with that kind of skill. It was so nice to see a better Michigan team actually play like the better team on the road at a rival.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he comes back next year to get his degree, and possibly a National Championship. He is so talented, his style of play is unique, and he is a fantastic representative of the university. His passion for the game is contagious.

I doubt it happens, but keep 'em crossed.

But I wouldn't close the door on anything for this season. Last year, our team was a train wreck at this point. I think Anbender of all people even wrote how it might be time for a new direction. And that team took off, won the conference and made the Sweet Sixteen.

We'll have bad games, no doubt. And maybe this squad is just peaking early. But considering the season-long trajectory of previous Beilein squads, this season could get silly.
