I don't blame Morez for going to Michigan. I  blame the school that chose to sit him behind Ben H for the vast majority of the season. That would take Morez out after shooting 1 mid-range jumpshot.

Dusty May will be good for Morez. Just like he was good for Goldin.

Goldin was good for May, don't get that twisted. 2 stops and he had to have him at both.

You just demonstrated my point. Except that 34% from 3 is not mediocre.

Morez is a low post big and rim runmer. Ben is a stretch 4. They didn't play the same role. No way Morez shoots 180 threes and makes 60+. No way he guards people out on the perimeter.

You might as well say Ben started over Will Riley.

Ben's 3pt shooting in BIG10 play was usually mediocre or far worse.
Brad playing Ben H over higher caliber players like Morez and Will regardless of roles was ridiculous.

Yeah it’s not as simple as Humbrickhouse taking his minutes. Some matchups were terrible for having Tomi and Morez in together. Morez shot FTs poorly early in the season so was tough to leave in at the the end of games and while he may not have fouled out a lot he sat with foul trouble fairly often.

If Morez wants to brick threes for Michigan, all the more easier for us to continue taking their asses to the woodshed.

And then there's the possibility that he goes like 6/8 from three against us helping Michigan finally end the streak.

Ty is back. That's some welcome news today.

The people on The BlueSkyy don't appear happy with Underachiever pissing off Johnson, but they appear excited about the prospect of Tomi's brother being an Illini.

I’m sure the staff had those discussions with him. I liked him, but we can do better in my opinion…

I agree, I do appreciate the loyalty he had in tough circumstances (team play/minutes/role) etc.

Hey Morez family, that’s how you exit with class. Wish DGL well at his next stop unless he were to play us of course.
