Whoever on here said Darryn Peterson's family was calling the shots when he plays can take a bow. Can't blame them though.

Self: Peterson's family wants him at full health before KU return

Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday night that Darryn Peterson's family does not want the projected No. 1 pick to return from injury until he is "as close to 100 percent as possible."

DP = payday.

I'm not sure what Kansas paid for the kid, but I do wonder if it makes some programs think twice when investing in these type of one year "assets".
 
I don't blame the family for sitting him, watching the Missouri and NC State games it didn't look like he was moving well at all. We just had a year when multiple NBA stars were playing compromised with lower body leg issues and then ultimately tore their Achilles and have been lost for the season, alot at stake there when you consider DP hasn't cashed in on the ultimate prize yet.
 
Santa knows.

I said that just because it seemed to be obvious. I would be doing the same.

If this year's Michigan team was in the path of our 24 title team, the wolverines would have ended up as another double digit victim from our title run.

The Michigan glaze is not going to subside any time soon. They will probably be 20-0 at the end of January and everyone will be ready to anoint them champs throughout the final month of the season and heading into the tournament.

As we saw with Duke last year, you need more than efficiency ratings to win it all. We will see

@RuffRuff Michigan obsession continues

Why is it an obsession? It's sizing up a potential competitor. Yes, they have shown to be the best team in the country so far - there is no denying that, as much as we want to think UConn is. It's ok. It's a one game format.

Need to stop with the inferiority complex here - we should have outgrown that as fans at this point. Rather than talk about how our 2024 team would beat them (weird), it would be a lot more interesting thinking about what we'd have to do to beat them.

This Michigan team is better than that Duke team, collegiately. They're older, they actually have a PG - and they're bigger other than PG. And they're deep. Proctor was not a good PG, never showed up when it mattered.

Make no mistake, they are the team to beat this year. Would love to see them in the final.

Arizona isn't as good as the hype - they are generally a 4 person team. Those 4 are really good. I'm not even sure I'd pick them to win the B12. Michigan is complete.

It’s being perceived as an obsession because you’re constantly talking about how great they are. You even bring them up in random threads that have nothing to do with them.

And then you chastise UConn fans who think they’re top 3, 12-1 national champion contender team is better.

You have a complex. Where you genuinely think you’re the smartest person in the room. All the time.

We get it, you think they’re practically unbeatable.

We’ll see.

Not really - I like a good convo. I'm not seeking this info out - just comes across the feed and I share.

It's nice to get to know the field - not sit in a UConn bubble. Not sure why that is considered an obsession. I like to get to know the teams we may have to get through to win it - and right now UM is looking like the biggest obstacle. Of course, lot has to happen between now and then but as that one poll shows, the teams in that top 12 has won it the last so many years. Hence, I like to get to know that field as a guy who feels good we are going to make a run this year.

It's the defensiveness of this board that makes you think otherwise. And of course, I do like the probe that defensiveness a bit when it's clear it's not affording some a clear view of the real picture.
 
Michigan will lose at least 4 conference games. Will UConn? will Duke? will wait and see how losing has an effect on the "older" team.

Wasn’t Auburn putting up historic efficiency numbers last year? A season that no one outside their fan base will remember.

Nothing like this. They lost at Duke in the non con.

UM is beating teams and pulling their underwear over their head, with ease.

He already told you why it's an obsession. When you aren't posting about the amazing freshmen and how Mullins won't be drafted over them you're posting about Michigan and even doing so in threads that have nothing to do with Michigan or college basketball this season.

Perhaps, but I'll wager heavily that they couldn't go on a 30-0 run against any decent team, much less one capable of getting to the elite eight.

It took a complete meltdown from Wake Forest for Michigan to beat Wake Forest in overtime.

At this point last season Auburn had already beaten #4 Houston, #5 Iowa State, #12 UNC, #16 Purdue.

They were also down 10 in the second half to Maryland before Maryland lost both their front court starters (one to injury, one to two techs).

They’re good - but whatevs. We’ll worry about them if they are in our bracket or in the FF with us.
