Summary
In a special Sunday morning episode of Steady Droppin Dimes, Sam Webb and Daniel Horton preview Michigan's Elite Eight matchup against Tennessee. The conversation begins by recapping the Wolverines' Sweet 16 win over Alabama and their ability to adapt to different styles of play. They highlighted Michigan's second-half defensive dominance and Yaxel Lendeborg's continued assertiveness offensively. The discussion then turns to Tennessee, where the Vols' size and offensive rebounding prowess are profiled. Specific attention is given to the Vols' primary offensive weapons, point guard Ja'kobi Gillespie, and star freshman forward Nate Ament. Michigan's bench, led by Roddy Gayle Jr. and Trey McKenney, is cited as a key advantage in Daniel's prediction of a double-digit victory.
