Summary

In this episode, we break down the Michigan basketball team’s 10-0 start, including three straight double-digit wins against top-50 opponents.

We begin by taking a look at what has impressed us the most about the Wolverines’ recent wins. We discuss Michigan’s improved defense and Juwan Howard’s adjustments, how bought-in the Wolverines are and how that has translated into into on-court effort.

Next, we discuss players beyond Hunter Dickinson who have stepped up. We take a look at Mike Smith’s value beyond the box score (in addition to box-score contributions), along with Franz Wagner’s emergence into the much-hyped two-way player many had expected entering the season.

We then turn our attention to some bigger-picture discussions. We look at Michigan’s biggest weaknesses, the Wolverines’ staying power atop the Big Ten standings and more.

0:44.0	reason is we don't want to do a football podcast until we're the dust i mean well until there's dust
0:52.2	first and then you know we don't want to talk about
0:54.9	something and like, say like, oh, this player's a big key and then, and then, you know, they, or this
0:59.3	coach will be a big key. And then, you know, they change coaches or the player. You know, there's,
