Summary
247Sports Michigan beat writers Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga break down the Michigan men's basketball team's 75-63 win over Colorado State, discussing major takeaways and what's next for the Wolverines in the NCAA Tournament.
They discuss Frankie Collins' starting debut and how he fared in DeVante' Jones' absence as both a spark plug and steadying force, seeming to improve as the game wore on. They also looked at Michigan's offense, and how height, post play and cleaning up turnovers played a role in the game changing tides.
In the second half of the episode, they look at Michigan's defensive adjustments in the comeback win, what Tennessee brings to the table in the coming second-round matchup and what of Michigan's performance can be carried into Saturday's bout.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things, Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. |
| 0:06.5 | I'm your host, Alexhaw, Alejandro Zuniga, here with me. We are live from a hotel in Indianapolis across the street from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. |
| 0:14.4 | We are obviously down here covering the Michigan men's basketball team in the NCAA tournament. |
| 0:19.3 | And we are here for a couple more days because they came back from a 15 point deficit |
| 0:24.0 | to beat Colorado State, the sixth seed, 75 to 63. |
| 0:29.0 | So this episode, it's going to be all basketball. |
| 0:31.4 | And we'll kind of parse through some of the key takeaways. |
| 0:34.9 | I already wrote a story. |
| 0:36.4 | I kind of went in depth on my five takeaways from the game. |
| 0:41.3 | And obviously we have tons of coverage over at the Michigan Insider.com, |
| 0:44.6 | Michigan.247 Sports.com. |
| 0:47.0 | But this episode thought it might be a quick breeze through to rehash some of the things we saw. |
| 0:52.0 | And then take a little peek at Tennessee and the |
| 0:55.2 | matchup that is to come on Saturday. And Alejandro, I don't think we can really talk about this |
| 1:01.4 | game for very long, in my opinion, without talking about Frankie Collins. He's first career start, |
| 1:08.0 | at least in college. Devante Jones was in concussion protocols. He didn't actually |
| 1:12.6 | make the trip. I don't think anyone knew what was going to happen with Frankie. I mean, you know, |
| 1:18.1 | Michigan players, they were like kind of confident. Oh, he's ready for this. You stay ready, so you |
| 1:21.5 | don't have to get ready, things like that. But I don't think before the game for the ball was |
| 1:26.4 | tipped, I don't think even Michigan knew what he was going to show. |
| 1:30.3 | And the first nine minutes, not a ton. I think he had a rebound and maybe one assist. |
| 1:35.4 | But then when it's 2813, he gets an and one layup. And then on the next possession, he has a steal and a dunk to turn it from a 15 point lead to 10. |
