| 0:00.0 | Welcome back inside the Inarber Studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com. A lot of people are talking about tomorrow is a Final Four preview kind of day. And we're going to have both games of that Final Four preview on our airways. The first of those two games is the Arizona at Houston game. You can listen tomorrow. That's a 3 o'clock tip. And you can listen right here on the Big 1050 WTCA. And then, of course, the 630 tip down in D.C., Michigan and Duke, these are both top four matchups. You can listen to number two versus number four here on the Big 1050 WTKA. And then number one, Michigan versus number three, Duke. You'll listen to that game on 102.9W4 country over on the FM dial. |
| 0:38.5 | But a lot of people calling this some sort of a final four preview, maybe you shuffle them up |
| 0:42.6 | and Michigan and Duke won't meet, wouldn't be able to meet until a championship game. |
| 0:46.2 | And the same thing with Arizona and Kentucky and Arizona and Houston who are playing |
| 0:51.9 | tomorrow. |
| 0:52.3 | But needless to say, two really big matches. |
| 0:54.7 | One in conference in the big 12 in the first game. |
| 0:58.1 | And then, of course, the non-conference matchup between Michigan and Duke. |
| 1:01.6 | When you look deeper into this matchup, the things that I guess you can say, |
| 1:06.4 | if there are Achilles heels for Michigan, which there really are not many, |
| 1:10.0 | this team is loaded. This team is loaded. |
| 1:11.2 | This team is really good. |
| 1:12.1 | I love reading about all these, you know, the fan bases of people that want to see Michigan lose. And they're like, I don't know if we're going to see them. But this you can lose a whole lot of games. Yeah, this game tomorrow night is one of those that's going to really be a litmus test for both squads. Duke is really good at forcing turnovers and turning them into points. |
| 1:28.5 | We know that Michigan has lapses and offense that leads to turnovers. They're still, I know they've gotten better at it as the season has progressed, and they've had a few games here and there where it hasn't been great, like the Nebraska game when Elliott had eight turnovers, for example. But Michigan has gotten better at cleaning things up, but Duke is really good at forcing those turnovers. They're really good at turning those for turnovers to points. And Michigan needs to limit that as much as possible. The thing is both teams, there's a lot of things that are similar between these teams as well. Both teams are really, really good on the glass. Michigan, obviously, on Tuesday, out bullied Purdue, which was a great start to the week, |
| 2:03.2 | but both teams are really good on the glass. |
| 2:05.3 | Both teams are really good on the defensive end of the floor. |
| 2:07.5 | Duke is giving up an average of only 63.2 points per game. |
| 2:12.2 | The average about eight steals. |
| 2:13.6 | The average about three blocks. |
| 2:14.9 | So again, they do a little bit more when it comes to |
| 2:17.6 | the turnover game. Michigan does a little bit more into the forcing bad shots and blocking and |
| 2:22.5 | altering shots. But they get to the same similar, you know, they get to a very similar |
