Hello, everyone. Happy Monday night. It is March 3rd, 2025 here on The Wolverine.com.

Our Monday show, Anthony Broome here with Chris Ballas, Clayton Safie, the three of us back.

Back to all virtual last week. We were all, or two of us were at Regents Field. Ballas zoomed in now.

It's all back to normal here. And we have a lot to get to

today. It's going to be a basketball heavy show, obviously with some of the things that have

gone on the last week or so with Michigan hoops, including a blowout loss yesterday at home.

Dusty May spoke to the media today. We'll cover all of that, get into a little bit of NFL combine, and a little bit of also,

this just came across the wire from our putty, Pete Nacos, Michigan not planning on canceling

its spring games.

So we'll chat about that a little bit later.

And as we do at the end of every show, we will take your questions, both if you're posting on the message board or live in the chat as we are live here every Monday night at 6 p.m.

Fellas, welcome back.

It was quite a week to be a Michigan basketball follower.

Weird, right?

And Clayton Pick a Loss, and I was with him yesterday feeling like, boy, this is a bad matchup for Michigan. Everybody points to matchups still, like, Illinois lost by 50 to Duke, so they suck. Well, they got players, and they match up well with Michigan. Michigan obviously has been struggling. You can tell that they've kind of hit the wall guys, the flu's been ravaging that team. So we knew that was going to be a hard game. I didn't know it was going to be that hard.

And they got to pick it up, fellas, if they're going to have a chance here to make a run in March. But that starts with getting healthy. Number one, they got to start making shots again, fellas. I don't know what's going on there, but what I wrote after the game is like, okay, it can be a fluke after a couple games, and it becomes a trend.

And then after a month and a half, maybe it's who you are, right? In conference play against better competition, you hope that they're a little bit better than what they've shown. If they can get to like 35%, then this can be a good basketball team. And I think they've got better shooters than they've shown, but it's all upstairs fellows and the confidence, right? That, man, you've got to have that

if you want to be a good shooting team. So disappointing loss, but an opportunity against Maryland

to right the ship. Just a crazy week overall. You play a game, bless you there, you play a game

on Monday at Nebraska where no one could hit a shot. You play a game

on Thursday at home against Rutgers where no one could miss a shot and you played bad defense.

And really, I thought, looked kind of worn down for 29 minutes until they dug deep and pulled
