Summary
This week’s podcast, live from Des Moines instead of in studio, is full of Michigan basketball talk. With Steve Lorenz unable to make it on the show, Zach Shaw runs things solo, opening with his thoughts on the Michigan basketball team’s runner-up finish in the Big Ten Tournament, its loss to Michigan State and how concerning it is to lose to the Spartans three times in four weeks.Then, Shaw opines on Michigan’s NCAA Tournament draw, beginning with the Wolverines’ first-round rematch with Montana. Shaw discusses how the Grizzlies are different than they were last season, and what each difference means for Michigan’s ability to avoid an upset loss.Following that discussion, he breaks down the potential rest of the field, which lacks big-name programs but does have a number of solid, experienced and defensive-oriented teams that it could face in every round. He makes his pick for which opponent would be the toughest matchup for Michigan, while also running through scenarios and how the bracket looks similar to last season.Then, Shaw turns things over to the Michigan locker room, where he was able to record interviews with Luke Yaklich, Jordan Poole, Charles Matthews and Zavier Simpson. The four discuss Michigan trying to bounce back from a championship loss, regaining confidence after another defeat and their thoughts on the matchup in addition to much more.
