A list of the 66 finalists for the nation’s best point guard doesn’t include Darius Morris — the guy who ranks 3rd nationally in assist rate and is scoring 15 points per game. Go figure. - Observations from the week that was
Eamonn Brennan with some thoughts on Michigan thus far: “Michigan will stay out of the Big Ten cellar. The Wolverines aren’t exactly setting the world ablaze, but they’re significantly better than the doom and gloom that preceded this season.” - U-M’s Jordan Morgan lifts game with hard work
“He grew up loving Michigan because I did,” Meredith said. “We didn’t really know he was going to Michigan until he was offered. He really didn’t believe it at first. When we told him that Coach Beilein was calling, Jordan asked, ‘For what?’ - All about the Big Ten: Blue renewal

I hate to go back, but you can’t overlook the fact that he’s gone against Corey Joseph who’s starting at University of Texas and Nick Johnson (and other college players).

The saddest part was that he lived in the shadows of Jared (Sullinger) last year. The bottom line is that Trey Burke is a winner.”
