And we are back here on the Michigan. Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

You always ask the question, you know, what, who can you beat if you play like your C game?

Who can you beat if you play your B game? Who do you have to bring your A game against?

We've had these conversations in the past.

There might be one game left on the schedule in the regular season that Michigan

can bring the performance they had for last night's game. Obviously in the last 14 minutes

and changed Michigan was a dominant team, but they need to be a dominant team for a lot more

than 14 plus minutes in most of these games. And down the stretch, maybe the home game

against Minnesota on the 24th.

Maybe that's one of the games that you can look at and say you could probably play, you know,

a C plus effort and probably win the game.

But this Saturday against UCLA, you don't necessarily play your A game or your A plus game

to beat UCLA, but you have to be on your game. Part of it's going to be a Sky Clark back and I don't necessarily play your A game or your A-plus game to beat UCLA, but you have to be

on your game.

Part of it's going to be is Sky Clark back, and I don't, you have, Mick Crona's very, he's playing that one very close to the best. Yeah, he's a lot of, Scott Clark's their best ball defender. He's probably the best guy on the back court. he has missed a lot of time with injury,

and they're playing it very close to the vest.

He was talking about stacking practices. is probably the best guy on the back court. He has missed a lot of time with injury, and they're playing

it very close to the vest. He was talking about stacking practices together in order for him to come back and play. And then the reporter followed up by asking, like, how many is he stacked? And he's like, he hasn't stacked any yet. So it's like he's had, like, I guess, a decent practice. And then he didn't back it up with another one. And then so we'll see by Saturday what UCLA looks like when they

come to town. It's going to be a tough game. Mick Cronin's teams are always physical. They always play tough games. The Big Ten is that kind of a conference. It's a very physical conference. I think he was asked at one point about the physicality of it. He was talking about like, what was the car? I wish I pulled that full quote. He was talking about like wrestlers or whatever it was. It was definitely like, you know, there's some, you know, he could tell you need some of those big body dudes. And so it's going to be a very physical game coming up on Saturday. But against Northwestern, you can bring your C game, C plus game. I don't know what you characterized what they played yesterday.

In the first, in the final 14-03, it was their A-game. But the rest of the game was not. So how do you do the math is probably their C-C-plus game. And Michigan wins the game last night because they outscored Northwestern 45-17 in the last 14-03 of the game. and that's the difference in the game is that they're that much better than Northwestern,

and they proved it over a 14-minute stretch. But you can't just have those turn-it-on moments. And we talk about being up and ready for every single game. I don't think you're going to have a lot of issue with motivation for the UCLA game. You've got to die on your team. And Adai can feed you some stuff.

And I'm sure how he was treated by Mick Cronin.
