Summary

This week, we hit heavy on both basketball and football. We open discussing the Wolverines’ loss at Michigan State to lose out on the Big Ten title, and what some of our lasting impressions from the game were. Included our thoughts on the officiating, on Xavier Tillman, on how much Charles Matthews was missed, on how concerning Michigan’s second half was and more.

That discussion transitioned into a listener question that pondered what Michigan can realistically change to enhance its chances at a deep NCAA Tournament run. We break down how free-throw rate, assist rate, Jordan Poole and the return of Matthews could all play a role, among other things.

We also break down the 2019 Big Ten Tournament, identifying dark horse teams, trap games in the bracket and which two teams we think will be playing on Sunday.We close the podcast by continuing our series of looking at the key questions and storylines surrounding each Michigan football position group ahead of spring practices. This week, we break down the Wolverines’ wide receivers, tight ends and offensive linemen.
