There aren’t enough Owen Wilson clips in the world to capture the “wow” moment that Jordan Poole delivered to the Wolverine faithful Saturday night. The freshman with the amazing hair and glowing personality cemented himself in Michigan lore forever.
When the shot went down, I was fortunate enough to be with the group of friends I’d sat with as Blake O’Neill died for our sins on a crisp October night. That’s why sports are great: the highest of highs and lowest of lows.
People have compared this shot to Trey Burke’s 30-foot bomb against Kansas in 2013, and I’d dare to say the differences in those two shots are what makes these two teams so different, though both spectacularly great.
