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

Sam Webb, Mr. I rewind, Robb, on the other side, focus this morning has obviously been on what was a tremendous, tremendous environment, tremendous game, lived up to the hype.

But, of course, Michigan fell short.

68, 63 loss to Duke on Saturday, a tip of the cap to them.

They bested the Wolverines, and they're deserving of all of the praise that they're getting in the aftermath.

And yet, while we have highlighted the issues that Michigan had in that contest,

I'd be, you know, just this feeling of perspective that was surprisingly shared by almost a consensus of the Michigan fans that I

talked to, which is numerous after the game. It's like, ah, you know, they lost this game. But boy,

Michigan didn't play anywhere close to their best. I know Duke had something to do with that.

But considering how poorly they shot the ball,

how absent all their guards were from the, you know,

from in an offensive sense,

and for it to be still a one point game late in the contest,

I think is not heartening,

but it prevents you from jumping off a cliff,

which you know fans are often guilty of doing.

So you get anything of an oath from even one of their back court players.

It's a different ballgame.

And if I die, which we'll talk to Mike Boynton about coming up,

if he can stay on the floor like he managed to do when he finally got in the game in the second half,

he manages to do that, then that too lands to a different game. But I also wanted to make note of one was another significant moment from the weekend.

It also plays into the travel to D.C. for this game.
