And we're back, folks, here on another edition of the Michigan Basketball Insider. Always a fun

0:06.9

and festive occasion. Even after we're talking about, you know, kind of a rough week to catch up

0:13.4

with my guy Tim McCormick, he wore the uniform, played at a high level, went on to be a first

0:18.9

round draft pick in the NBA. Now, if you want basketball

0:21.7

commentary, be it college or pro, they are none better than my guy, Tim McCormick. You hear

0:28.2

every week. You're on the Michigan Basketball Insider. Tim, how are you, my man? It's snowing,

0:33.5

and I'm loving it. I'm just sitting here. I don't have to go anywhere today. I don't have a game

0:37.4

this weekend, so it's nice. And I re loving it. I'm just sitting here. I don't have to go anywhere today. I don't have a game this weekend. So it's nice.

1:24.7

it's a little bit early for that because over the last 15 days, as you realize

1:30.1

but the truth is that when we speak again on February 11th, we're going to know a lot more.

1:43.1

They've got home and away with Purdue. They must win

1:46.4

one of those games. I really believe that. And I think they will. And the key game, the tough

1:51.8

game, the big matchup, this may sound crazy, but at Penn State. You know, they just beat Iowa

1:57.9

in double overtime. They beat Indiana earlier. And that's going to be the

2:02.3
