Jon Teske Appreciation Thread
Since we're giving appreciation to our offensive leader for this game, let's give some credit to the our defensive big man who bailed us out of many nerve-racking situations!
NINE REBOUNDS!
Good game Jon!
Onward to Nebraska! Go Blue!
Had some big defensive stops, but man, that guy needs, like to be able to do a 2” vertical. If he could do that he could be elite. There were several time where if he could get his feet off the ground, he would have blocked a few more shots.
It’s sad that I had higher hopes of Teske hitting his FT’s rather than Simpson and Matthews.
Great game for Teske.
There is a reason that most of us felt the same way.
58%>53%>47%
But I will take winning ugly 100% of the time!
Great work on the glass Jon but man, you've got to finish a little better...
our offense was just not clicking and the defense and rebounding, led by Teske, bailed them out.
He played tremendous defense in the second half
he definitely played well otherwise. Provided big minutes with Moe in foul trouble.
I'm also going to make this the de facto Charles Matthews Appreciation thread.
41 minutes, great defense, led the team in scoring with 16 points (efficiently!), had 2 OREBS, 2 assists and most importantly ZERO turnovers for a 120 Ortg.
Duncan bailed us out with huge shots at the end but Matthews had a good game throughout.
If this can be his normal performance all the time, good God other teams are in very serious trouble...
Way to step up on the glass Teske! He’s getting better and better! Next year he’s gonna be a monster. Go Blue! Beat Nebraska!
I was so pumped we started putting on shirts with the letter "R" ala Ben Wallace for each one he pulled down!
Great work today, Teske.
He also gets a ton of players to alter their shots at the rim,causing more misses.
Sexibits came back
Despite not having his shots fall, he played great defense, rebounded, and was generally a nightmare for Iowa to deal with in the post. He's a great player, even if it doesnt show up in the stat sheet at times.
He plays hard every minute that he plays!!!
Gonna be huge for us next season with Wagner likely leaving congrats to him and Duncan for saving our asses
turning into Beliens ANOTHER Diamond in the ruff players...all year long hes been SOLID! and what huge diff he made today..Quickly becomming one of my favorite players and Ive been saying that all year long..Its all the little things he does
Teske !!!
I thought with Wagner leaving, you guys would be weaker next year, but now I don't think that's true. You guys did well beating an inspired Iowa team as well as the referees.
Impressive win Wagner and MAAR fouled out. Beat Nebraska!
Don’t be surprised if Wagner comes back.
Thx for the compliment
:)
MUAH
So was getting your best player back for $40, but look how that worked out.
He sunk like 4 free throws to secure the win and had close to a double double. He's going to have to play better if we expect to beat you in the semifinals. Ward also. He did nothing against you guys.
I remember you from last time. Happy to see you trying again. Just an honest suggestion -- use "Michigan" instead of "You". Saying "you" makes you a "them". Write it this way and you're just a guy talking hoops and not such an obvious "them":
"He's going to have to play better if State expects to beat Michigan in the semifinals. Ward also. He did nothing in the first game."
We know who your team is. Don't act like such an outsider. We're all just here for Michigan-centric sports chatter, same as you. If you're fair, I don't care who your favorite team is.
I think it's kind of annoying when a rival fan comes on here to have a civil discussion and somebody has to immediately be an asshole.
I agree, I hate when our fans act like other fans to rival fans who actually show class on our board
He’s got the good stuff
His defense, his rebounding, his positioning... That man is money in the bank!

It's easy to focus on the giant man in the paint and feel like he's in the middle of everything, but it just seemed like he was always right there. The tap to Duncan was a great hustle play. Really can't wait to see where he goes.
Was “Pesky”... around the rim.
I’ll see myself out
He's really kind of a Teske Pole.
Teske will never be more than a big unathletic body.
I'd like to see more of Austin Davis.
Every team needs a Teske type gritty player.
No. Only we have one. Forever. Teske...
Austin Davis, the very athletic short player...oh wait
I imagine it's a point of pride when players get an appreciation thread, and I'm sure friends & fam will point it out to them if they didn't already notice.
So, given that student-athletes are likely reading these after hard-won battles -- in which they get out there & represent us -- it'd be great if we can save the harsher critiques for other (perhaps more technical) discussions,
and pure wet-blanket dismissals like this for, uh,... *NEVER*.
That is all.
Thank you!
I fuck with (admire) Teske! But lets also take a moment to re-recognize the man who has been developing ol' Tesk...Lansing's own,a Sexton Big Red, and old school Sparty legend Stan Washington's most talented son (arguably). Coach Saddi Washington!
Wilson looked real bad imo and then BOOM, Bacari leaves, in comes Washington, and overnight DJ becomes a 1st rounder. Moe took a significant leap last year too.Theeennn Teske had me very,very worried about the future, but now...if he develops any mid-range game whatsoever, look out.
Only will get better and better.
Kid makes a difference. Go Blue.
I have long thought that Teske should get more PT. I would like to see a lineup with him and Wagner playing at the same time.
That be a problem, because Jackson Jr would have to guard one of those guys and not roam free to block shots. But I'm sure Beilein knows what he's doing, that game in EL still stings.
Hope we both make it to Saturday.
His play today was a major factor in Michigan coming out with a win.
Dude balled tonight
Off topic, but WTF is wrong with John Crispin? Has he had a stroke? He can't seem to connect more than a couple thoughts together at a time. Its like gibberish.
Mr T gave them some pain today. Great job.
I couldn't help it. While watching him, I kept wondering how does he get a haircut? Does he sit on the floor? I am 6' 1" and I slouch down in the barber chair. Does his barber use a step ladder? They would have to, right?
I great defensively but I wish he could score a little more
You better give no lip to Big Jon. Big Bad Jon!
While that may not seem flattering to some, I find it amusing to think of those two in the huddle snickering as Beilein says they need to stop the penetration.
heh heh,
heh
heh.
