UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Jon Teske is a quiet person. But when he’s excited, the junior lets you – and the whole arena – know it.
At the close of a 14-2 run to end the first half in Michigan basketball’s 66-47 win over Providence, Teske had a putback dunk after Zavier Simpson missed a layup and showed some emotion. So did U-M’s reserves, getting up, getting excited and letting the Friars know it after a chippy 20 minutes.
For the first two years of his college career, Teske’s demeanor reflected his play. He didn’t play much, even last year as Moritz Wagner’s primary backup.
