1) I wonder what he said last night to get the T? Anyone? Or do I have to pay nine bucks to find out?

2) All points made regarding his improvement, his unpredictability and his unorthodox shooting style seem valid to me. It's certainly never boring. What I wonder is how his demeanor and flailing style of play affect the guy he's guarding? I think there may be some value in his unpredictability when it comes to crawling inside the opposing scorer's head. I know it would bug the s**t out of me.

3) I wonder how the return of LB will affect him.

I'm starting to miss Keith swinging the towel now that he's on the court so much.

Think I saw it only once last night :(

After the play near the sideline, he mean mugged the UM player and kind of flexed on him, so to speak. Just one of those "I just made you my female dog" moves.

Was blatant, made bodily contact, and RIGHT in front of the ref. Idiot move.

So I was about 8 feet away from Keith when he said whatever he said to LeVert to get his T. I couldn't make it out because of how loud moody was but my guess it probably had to do with the fact that KF was making LeVert his [deleted] all night.

His IQ has vastly improved though over the past seasons. And he isn't the emotionally fragile guy he was the last two years. Way better defensively. We are harping on him for passing up shots instead of awkwardly deciding to shoot. Most importantly, he is now willing to create his own shot, which he never did before. I think he will be on the all-conference team this season (1st, 2nd, or 3rd team) because of the all around game. I don't know that I want him to be THE focal point on offense, but he is a way, way, way above average 3rd option in the college game (if Nic and MK are 1 and 2).

Beilein reacted right away. Whatever it was ticked him off.

Can Keith come up with something other than the Manziel money sign... at least while we are still on probation. Maybe the Sam Cassell Big Balls or the Championship Belt since we are the reigning conference champs.

You Keith haters drive me nuts. If he is going to hold someone considered a guaranteed pro scoreless through 30 minutes, Keith can rack up techs like Rasheed and I wouldn't mind.

GREAT Keith anecdote: I was standing by the Michigan bench during warm ups, and Keith was shooting from the corner right in front of me. Some other guy down there asked 'hey Keith you gonna go off tonight?' And his response was ' I don't know, I know we're gonna win though'

As has been pointed out, Keith is a mixed bag and always will be. He's our own lil JR Smith. dumb as a rock, but electric in all the right and wrong ways. I never had any doubt he'd score as a jr and sr, but the D and leadership role he's taken on is good stuff and unexpected. Polarizing dude

i'm not polarized. i love the guy. SMU needs swag in the worst way. Tired of being everybody's punching bag. Keith punches back.
