Summary

This week, we break down the Michigan basketball team’s loss to Texas Tech in the Sweet Sixteen, and what the Wolverines’ 30-7 season that delivered no banners means. In the discussion we talk about Michigan exceeding expectations early on in the season, how the season compares to the Wolverines’ top other teams under John Beilein and what to make of their final game. 

We also look ahead to Michigan’s early outlook for next season, and why the Wolverines could see little to no drop-off by the time fall rolls around.

Then, we turn our attention to looking at Michigan football, assessing the virtual depth chart that Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh provided. We discuss our surprises in the two-deep, players who might be making the biggest moves, key injuries and what it means that Harbaugh is so open about the depth chart.

We close the show with more thoughts on Michigan’s spring so far, then take listener questions to finish up.
