Ann Arbor — Jordan Poole hasn’t turned down an opportunity to watch replays of the biggest shot of his career, a 25-foot game-winner with no time left to send Michigan to the Sweet Sixteen.
Poole, 18, received close to 800 texts after making that 3-pointer late last Saturday night and has seen his social media numbers skyrocket, while also stepping up his star-power connections. Academy-award winning director Jordan Peele, also half of the comedy duo Key and Peele, accidentally received many congratulatory messages on Twitter for the game-winning shot.
Poole and Peele have exchanged messages on Twitter and Peele is now one of Poole’s 17,000-plus followers.
