Welcome back to the Wolverine.com podcast, our video edition, and we have got a special guest for you today,

fresh from the site of Joanne Howard's team's next venture. And that would be, of course, Brian Bush, who is your play-by-play guy in basketball, out in Vegas.

Welcome to the podcast, Brian. Always good to be here, John.

So you just got in today, and it's going to be Michigan and UNLV. Your thoughts about this team

and its mindset coming off what had to be a little bit of a difficult loss to

swallow against Seton Hall, although I keep telling people, watch out for that team because

it's going to be really good throughout the year. Yeah, I mean, Seton Hall, I was surprised that

Michigan was so heavily favored, not as a knock to what Michigan's roster

looks like.

I mean, I think all the expectations are fair for Michigan.

All of the big prizes are on the table.

But Seton Hall is a veteran club.

They clearly have a really good head coach.

And, you know, it was there for the taking for Michigan and they just could not seal the deal.

They made some mistakes that, listen, if those mistakes are still on this roster in four months,

if they're still doing the things that they did in that stretch run against Seton Hall,

then the expectations we have for Michigan won't be lived up to

because those are what you need to do against good teams late.

But I am not concerned in the least.

It's a tough loss.

It's a bummer.

You know, does it cost you maybe one seed overall number?
