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

Game day is here.

The start of the Michigan basketball season is upon us.

Look, I, man, I would have totally understood if Michigan basketball coaches weren't available today, you know, it's game day.

Man, Dusty is preparing for the game, but, you know, they said, hey, we're going to make sure that we're on.

My man Mike Boynton said, I got you.

That's what I appreciate about the Michigan basketball coaching staff.

They say, we're going to make sure that we tell the folks about what they're going to see tonight this season.

Hey, and beyond, because this team is obviously heading to the postseason.

We'll see what's in store.

And we have Michigan Assistant Basketball Coach Mike Boynton on with us right now to tell us all about it.

Coach Mike, how you doing?

Sam, what's up, my man?

I'm doing great.

I'm doing great.

Glad that you could join us.

Good to hear your voice.

Excited about this team and what is in store in year two.

And I got to tell you, just watching from practice the excitement about now that you guys

have your feet in the ground, sort of like kind of have your roots planet it can it feet it felt different just the vibe

the the certainty about the direction heading into the season man it's a lot different than last

year where it was kind of you didn't quite know what to expect definitely feels different
