Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Wednesday, everybody.

It's Hump Day, Wednesday, April 30th, 2025.

This is the Michigan Insider.

This is the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

It has been 1,978 days since Ohio State last beat Michigan on the football field.

1,978 days and counting, although most of our attention this morning will be on basketball,

at least at the beginning of the show, as obviously last night, the Pistons were back in action,

in playoff action, and they got a big win on the road

at the New York Knicks 106-103.

And that series now comes back to Detroit for game six, trying to force a game seven back at

MSG.

We'll get into that in just a little bit.

We're going to hear from J.B.

Bickerstaff, Asar Thompson, Tobias Harris, all met with the media after the game after that victory. So we'll get to that coming up in a little bit here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050.

WTK online at the big 1050.com.

Of course, in the 7 o'clock hour, we'll get to the recruiting round up at around 745 in the 8 o'clock hour inside the huddle with Michael Spath at around 8.05. And then, of course, for the 9 o'clock hour, the midweek peak with Steve Clark, a lot to get to on the Michigan Insider this Wednesday morning here on the Big 1050 on the Big 1050.com. So the Pistons got off to a better start in the game. This was one of the things that Sam talked about yesterday leading up to the game saying they had to get off to a better start in the game yesterday than they did in the prior game.

Now, they were trailing at the end of the first quarter and they were trailing by a point

at the end of the half, but it was a better start than it was in the last game.

And this game ended up being close down the stretch.

It was tied at 95.

Down the home stretch, the game was tied at 95. Jalen Dorn made a couple of strikes, made back-to-back baskets.
