Lendeborg's Transfer Tale: Michigan vs Alabama

0:00On March 26, Yaksal Lindobord brings some personal fire to Michigan's sweet 16 matchup against Alabama. The forward-spinned two seasons at the University of Alabama at Birmingham before transferring last year. He hoped to join the Crimson Tide in state, but they didn't pursue him aggressively, so he landed with the Wolverines under Coach Dusty May. Earlier this week, Lindoborg admitted to Snub, Stungabin, even though it does not fuel outright anger. It just adds extra motivation for Friday's game, March 26, at the United Center in Chicago. He plans to play his best without making it a revenge tour. Meanwhile, Alabama coach Nate Oates clarified they did reach out once, but backed off quickly. He praised Lindoborg as the top talent in the transfer portal at the time, saying deeper offers from other schools pulled him away. No hard feelings on their end. Lindobord dominated at UAB last season with 17 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, nearly 2 blocks and steals per game.

1:01At Michigan this year, he is posting 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, a block and a steal on average. May fully backs whatever edge this gives his star. As tip off nears, this subplot could swing the game, with Lindoborg ready to prove his worth on the big stage.
