NEW YORK CITY – A finer display of irony might not exist.
A mostly mild Tim Jankovich answered questions in a postgame press conference as a bass shook the walls of a Madison Square Garden media workroom tucked in a hallway.
A musical act called Porter Robinson and Madeon played its electronic tunes at a postgame concert in The Theatre at the Garden. But perhaps the only thumping louder than its bass was SMU getting thumped 76-54 by Michigan, a team it clobbered the two previous years.
SMU, which is used to rattling its home arena on a regular basis, could do nothing to avoid Michigan rattling down 3-pointers and dunks like the sounds Porter Robinson and Madeon calls music rattled the world’s most famous arena.
