Summary

In this episode of The Michigan Basketball Insider, Sam Webb and Tim McCormick discuss the Wolverines’ recent losses to Illinois and Maryland, focusing on several recurring issues for the team, but with an emphasis on whether it can get Vlad Goldin, Danny Wolf, and Tre Donaldson all playing well at the same time again. They reflected upon the huge disparity on offensive rebounds versus the Illini, the turnover woes versus the Terrapins, and the ongoing struggles from beyond the arc for the last month. Tim notes Michigan's sloppy ball handling, with 16 turnovers against Maryland leading to 21 points for the opposition… as the area U-M has got to tighten up now if it expects to get back on track. The conversation turns to Danny Wolf’s turnover issues and then to Tre Donaldson's role as floor leader in taking command, the need for him to be more aggressive and reduce turnovers. The episode concludes with a look ahead to Michigan’s rematch with Michigan State, and an optimistic outlook at the Maize & Blue’s potential in Big Ten tournament and beyond if the their big three get back on track.
