Summary
In this episode, we take a look at where the Michigan men's basketball team stands after closing its regular season at 17-13, and what the Wolverines can accomplish in the postseason.
We begin with a look at Michigan's impressive win at Ohio State, one that included neither Juwan Howard nor Hunter Dickinson. We look at the significance of a second-half comeback, improved bench play and DeVante' Jones' star performance. We pivot the discussion into gauging if Michigan has the capabilities of making a run in the postseason, either at the Big Ten or NCAA Tournament.
In the second half of the episode, we discuss the reinsertion of Juwan Howard as head coach, and what that can add to the team. We also take a look at Michigan's matchup against Indiana, looking at the advantages and disadvantages the Wolverines carry into the contest.
