Summary

In this episode, we recap the Michigan basketball team's in the Big Ten Tournament, and look ahead to the Wolverines' NCAA Tournament draw and potential opening weekend matchups.

We begin looking back on Michigan's first weekend, one that included shooting droughts, comebacks, a season-ending injury, an ejection and more. We try to gauge what to make of the Wolverines' 1-1 record at the event, how worrisome Michigan's shooting spells were, the validity of Juwan Howard's ejection, why every team seems to hate the Wolverines, and the biggest ways Isaiah Livers' injury will impact Michigan on the court.

After looking back, we turn to the future, discussing the significance of Michigan being named a 1-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. We look at the Wolverines' region overall, discuss the teams to keep an eye on in the region, debate LSU vs. St. Bonaventure as a round-two opponent and dissect the biggest key for a shorthanded Michigan team making a run in the tournament.
