Just watched this game for about the 12th time. Just a classic game! First home game after the tragic death of Chris Street, Players and fans with heavy hearts, but showed up that day.
Wonderfully talented Hawks v the amazing talent of Michigan's Fab 5+ (great talent off the bench).
Hawkeyes swarming all over Michigan for 40 minutes. It looked like 6 Hawks v 5 Wolves at times. Freshman Kenyon Murray, Seniors Val Barnes and Acie Earl showed the Wolves that the team playing hardest wins in the B1G.
Kenyon was amazing! He blocks Chris Webber on a 15 ft jumper late in the game, and then makes an incredible steal on an inbounds pass very late in the game! Val Barnes 25 points, even missing 4 FT's in the closing minutes. Russ Millard - a redshirt freshman that hadn't played much, but was amazing. Kevin Smith, James Winters, Jay Webb - 100% effort and delivered again and again. Dr Tom's hockey line changes left the Wolves gasping for breath.
Kenyon - if you read this - your heart must have been bursting for those 10 days (and longer). Chris's death, OT win at MSU, home victory v Michigan. Just incredible lows and highs in a short period. I'm simply amazed at the guts that team showed after losing a very special teammate.
Kudos to that team. We will never forget #40. 🙏
p.s I hate Jalen Rose. 👎
