Hats off to Zavier Simpson!
Z will feast on berry this Thursday. I can hardly wait!
What if it's TAMU?
FTFY: Then Z will feast on someone else. Lockin 'em up!!!
It's 100% Zavier...
I prefer Zavier per well documented spelling update. I loved your post, but don’t sweat the spelling too much.
Nothing to see here (for the record, I just did a quad post on another thread - much more embarassing)

His dad, family and friends all call him X. Zavier is his official name but it is X.

His defense was great. Needs to be better offensively driving to the hoop against UNC
He was visibly frustrating Gray. It was fantastic.
had the offensive set well scouted especially when Wagner slip screen where they covered it faboulously leading to Z's 2 TO where he just threw the ball to Moe instead of reading defense
I remember thinking...Kelvin Sampson coached a heck of a game. They played great defense on us, went small which is something we coun't (can't) exploit, they switched our screens and their "bigs" were able to stay with our guards.
And on the offensive end, they kept running ball screens to get the matchups they wanted, especially to get Z off Gray so he could take other guys.
I was very impressed with the coaching job they did and Beilein said after the game that they didn't expect them to go small and switch all screens and they weren't prepared for it, etc, etc.
We did miss a ton of 3s and they were fortunate for that, and the refs were awful but they coached and played about as good a game as they could have and they had a 96.6% chance to win when that guy stepped to the FT line.
that was right out of an inbounds. Inexcusable from Simmons. There have been so many instances this year where it seems like he's starting to play well and then he makes a huge mental mistake such that you just can't even have him on the floor.

they all were standing around pointing at him though as he was wide open. Someone blew that one badly and I just assumed it was Simmons because he got yanked immediately. I could definitely be wrong.
It's an autogenerated string when you create .GIFs on Gfycat and everytime Ace does his One Frame at a Time recaps I am dying laughing at the URLs as much as I am loving the actual .GIFs themselves.
Oh, didn't notice the links were like that. LOL!
That explains a lot.
I don't know what you're seeing.
My intention was to post the Zavier Simpson gif from the BTT championship game, and from my end I see that I did it successfully.
It may be weird because it's one of Ace's gifs from gfycat but otherwise it's appearing normally for me and not as a weird URL.
i'm not going to start a new appreciation thread for yet another player, but Jon M-Fing Teske knocking down free throw after free throw at a CRITICAL juncture in the game, hats off to him as well.
Really, you talk about a team effort, everyone pitched in in some way it seems, Livers had a very good inbounds pass, and Simmons had that little layoff to a streaking Wagner. Even Ibi, if you watch that last play like 30 times (which i assume everyone has) provides a slight rub on Davis closing out on Poole which, frankly, if Davis is a tenth of a second closer he alters that shot (and commits more of a foul but that's beside the point).

I love Mo. He is a special player when he's running the offense. In our biggest wins this year, namely MSU and MSU, we don't win without him. When he's got it going I think we are a top 5 team.
I think Teske is a better contributor 80% of the time though. All the little things in basketball Mo is a little deficient at and Teske excels. Its a real nice luxory to have both on the team, thats for sure.
So, the NBA will take Teske from us instead of Wagner?

Nessler and Lavin were beyond clueless and unprepared. There were only two stories/players for them--Wagner and Gray. They were also so boring that it made me almost yearn for a couple of broadcasters I normally loathe---names I am unable let pass my lips.

I upvoted you--does that say something. Though it might have been Dickie V (too).

Lavin was a terrible coach. Poorly prepared and not very analytical for an analyst.
Passes too well to be Iverson and he's not nearly as big.
Reminds me of Nash. if we're talking HOFers.
