Summary

In this episode, we discuss the No. 3 Michigan men's basketball team's return to game action, which included a massive comeback win at Wisconsin in the Wolverines' first game in 23 days.

We begin by looking at the micro-level of the game itself. He hone in on Isaiah Livers' senior surge, Hunter Dickinson's rebounding dominance, Michigan's stingy defense and how the Wolverines were able to come back. We outline what impressed us the most, along with takeaways on how good Michigan's defense is and the coaching job Juwan Howard has done.

Then, we look ahead. We discuss Michigan's comfort level at the top of the Big Ten standings with Illinois and Ohio State surging, we look at the Wolverines' situation as it pertains to rescheduling games and what, if anything, Michigan can do to emerge alongside Baylor and Gonzaga as national title favorites.
