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

big 1050.com, Sam Webb, Mr. Ira Winddrob on the other side, watching that Michigan

basketball team last night, you know, you wonder if expectations can sometimes be a, be a, not a tether, but if they can be a, you know, a factor in a team's psyche.

And, you know, between the veterans on this team and the hunger on this team, I just feel like it, it, I'm talking about for the guys who have

come from other places. Like, I just don't feel like there is an entitlement.

Normally,

when you see,

hey,

this team is ranked number one,

you know,

you worry about it,

giving that sense to a squad that they feel like they have arrived already.

But, you know, you got Yax coming from UAB.

You got, you know, Marez coming from Illinois

where all the fans were like, oh, don't ever shoot it.

You know, you aren't good enough to be shooting it.

Just stay in a low post.

So he has something to prove.

Like all these guys, Elliot Cadote, terrible shooter, turnover machine, overrated.

Like all of these guys, no matter what you're saying about them being the number one team in the country or how good they are,

all of these guys have something really to prove.

You know, one of the interesting story about Elliot.
