| 0:00.0 | Michigan's early game surge out to a 36 to 21 lead about 13 and a half minutes into this one on Tuesday night against Arkansas, Madison Square Garden. |
| 0:09.5 | That showed you the upside of this Michigan team. The Wolverines shot lights out, got enough stops, and went up by 15 early. |
| 0:18.1 | Then what transpired from about six and a half minutes to play in the first half |
| 0:22.4 | through the middle of the second half showed just how far this team has to go. Arkansas went on |
| 0:28.1 | and outscored Michigan in that run 59 to 26. It was a completely different ball game. Arkansas |
| 0:35.7 | was playing at a completely different level from Michigan. |
| 0:39.2 | And again, that showed where Michigan had to go. |
| 0:41.1 | Then down the stretch, the Wolverines simply ran out of time because they misfired on some possessions. |
| 0:48.5 | They were able to overcome almost an 18-point lead and cut it to two and have a chance to tie or win it in the |
| 0:56.3 | final possession of the game because A, that ceiling of this team, it is quite high, but B, |
| 1:03.6 | because they still had a few possessions that they went begging on, that they left out there |
| 1:08.4 | on the table where they could have taken advantage. This was there for |
| 1:12.1 | Michigan in a game where they were down by 18. So as tantalizing as this team has been at moments |
| 1:19.1 | and stretches so far this season, there's still a lot of work to be done, no doubt. This game |
| 1:24.5 | showed it all right in front of us. And this isn't the first time that Michigan has had to deal with some of these issues, |
| 1:30.6 | not really being able to staple themselves into a dominant win after a strong start. Remember, just three days prior against Iowa, back at Chrysler Center, Michigan went up 20 to 4, yet it was basically even the rest of the game, and it was very close down the stretch. |
| 1:47.8 | Michigan only led by three at the half. |
| 1:50.1 | We've seen Michigan struggle with turnovers at times this season. |
| 1:53.7 | Again, it popped up for the Wolverines, 12 second half turnovers. |
| 1:57.4 | Most of them during the first 10 minutes when Arkansas was able to come up |
| 2:01.7 | with 14 points off those 12 turnovers. What's so interesting about this game at the place where |
| 2:09.5 | Michigan's 2023, 2024 season peaked in game three of the season that blowout went over St. Johns |
