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

Mr. Ira Weintraub on the other side.

And, of course, we've talked Michigan basketball for a significant part of the morning.

Didn't go quite the way we wanted senior day to go, right? Other than, other than the celebration of, you know, celebration of seniors, which is always good to see. And the heartwarming story that, you know, Vlad not seeing this family in five years.

Couldn't imagine being 22, 23 years old, not seeing your family for five years. That's remarkable.

You talk about sacrifice, man. That's sacrifice. And so to everyone who helped in pulling that off,

that's just kudos to you for helping to make that happen for Vlad and his family.

That had to be special for him and them and his bride to be. That was great.

I'm sure he would turn in the individual performance for a team win, but good to see him perform well on senior day as well.

Like I know that's not the most important thing.

You know, to get to the team, a victory would have been the thing that he wanted the most on that day.

But he did perform well yesterday.

The lone bright spot on what was a sort of a bleak day as far as the outcome was concerned.

But the weekend, as far as the outcome was concerned. But the weekend, as far as the sports world, was concerned. Yeah, there were some college basketball, Michigan State won. They were

impressive in beating Wisconsin, taking over sole possession in the first place. All is not lost.

I mean, Michigan has some things to correct, some things to get in order.

This is the tough stretch.

I think they said it was four games in 10 days, not using fatigue as an excuse.

But this does.

This is the no rest for the weary portion of the schedule, so it tests their

medal. They got another quick turnaround here is they got to get ready for Maryland

really, really quickly here to keep pace and make that game over the weekend be for the marbles.
