Don’t look now, but Michigan is 8-0, and Mike Smith has been excellent. In beating a good Maryland team on the road, Mike led Michigan in minutes played at 39, had 16 points including a perfect 2-2 from 3, along with 6 assists. It is now fair to say that he is in the running as one of the top true PGs in the country. At the risk of soiunding like a broken record, J’accuse the Columbia coaching staff and athletic department to allow our MBB program to sink to such depths that we could only squeeze a single IL win out of a team with Mike Smith.
Had Tape and Stefanini been healthy and played, Columbia would have absolutely qualified for the tournament. The hue and cry on this thread would have been deafening when the League cancelled it though.
