Summary

For this week's episode, Sam Webb was joined by Tim McCormick for a special LIVE edition of the Michigan Basketball Insider to preview Michigan's matchup with Purdue and the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament. Sam and Tim recapped the Wolverines' recent struggles, losing four of their last six games. Tim notes Michigan's 14-win improvement from last year, but points out their issues with shooting (3/24 from three-point range in their last game), turnovers, and defensive rebounding. Tim suggests Michigan needs to play better defense and transition offense to boost their confidence. He also recalls his personal experience of regaining confidence through hard work after a disappointing game during his final season in Ann Arbor. Tim predicts a close game between Michigan and Purdue with the Maize & Blue prevailing, 75-70.
