is our good friend Scott Bell. Scott, good morning. How are you?

Good. Happy to be here as always. Michigan didn't lose over the weekend, so it's a happy Monday.

I hear you, Scott, and Michigan basketball got back on the winning track after the lost the prior weekend to Wake Forest.

So let's start talking a little Michigan basketball.

Just your early impressions of this Michigan basketball team and just your thoughts coming

off of this most recent victory over TCU.

It's a fun team to watch.

It's obviously a work in progress, and especially people who are averse to turnovers. They may not love what they've seen early on. But that's the tradeoff of playing fast and trying to move the ball down the court and being a fast break team.

And you see the team figuring in and out.

Had a bunch of turnovers in the first half, cut that down pretty considerably in the second half.

And they got a really solid win over a good, not great team.

But I think TCU has been a 20-win NCAA tournament team each of the last

handful of years. So you're not playing these 200, 250th-ranked Ken Palm teams. And so I like the

way Michigan's scheduling early on. I like the way they're playing

early on. And there's a lot of new pieces, but they seem to fit together better than the last

couple of portal halls. And I think it's completely reasonable to expect Michigan to be a tournament

team this year. And I think that's what they're going to be. And I think that's completely reasonable to expect Michigan to be a tournament team this year.

And I think that's what they're going to be.

And I think that's a testament to Dusty May, both in terms of roster composition and kind of how he's coaching him in their style of play.
