I love what TO Barrett gave them in crunch time against Florida.
If Perkins or Ant don’t have it, you should feel comfortable subbing Barrett.

The funny thing is that if you'd have told me that this is where the '24/'25 team got to in the summer of '23, I'd have believed you.
I also fully expected last year to be something of a step back season.
I just think I let that year get me TOO down on this year's team. Because we knew that the roster this year had talent as far back as last summer, we just knew it needed time to come together. And that most of last year's team weren't going to be a part of it -- so why should I have allowed the failure of last year's squad influence where I thought this one could get?

Recency bias, I guess.
But man, Ant is my favorite Tiger of either sport in quite awhile. Well, no, that's not right. That's Kobe Brown. But apart from Kobe, Ant is up there with anybody. I'd love to see that kid play out 4 years here because I really don't think he has a game that's going to translate as well to the NBA as he would hope.
I'd rather see him build a legacy here than go pro early, get drafted in the mid-late 2nd and then vanish into the damn G-League.
