Michigan basketball assistant Mike Boynton Jr. talks Spartans senior night debacle ahead of historic game
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – No. 3-ranked Michigan Wolverines assistant basketball coach Mike Boynton Jr. discussed the significance of the upcoming rivalry game against No. 7 Michigan State Spartans in the Breslin Center.
“It’s a big game,” Boynton said. “But at the same time, you can’t get caught up in just one game. We’re at the halfway point of conference play, and there are many games that will impact the season.”
Boynton, who grew up a Yankees fan and has experienced rivalries at South Carolina, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State, understands the gravity of rivalry games.
“It feels different when you go into it. But when the ball tips, the team that plays best, with the most discipline and executes the game plan best, will have the best chance of winning.”
