Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zúñiga break down their takeaways from Michigan men’s basketball team’s impressive comeback win over Texas A&M to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. They open with a micro look at what led the Wolverines past the Aggies. They break down Roddy Gayle Jr.’s breakthrough game, in which he scored a season-high 26 points, including 21 in the second half. They also lookout the breakout showing from LJ Cason, who offered a spark off the bench in both halves in arguably his best game with the Wolverines. In the second half of the episode, they expand the discussion to team trends. They break down how the Wolverines out-muscled one of the nation’s most physical teams, and why that’s different than what Michigan showed during much of the regular season. They also detail the Wolverines’ continued success at “finding a way” in close games, and what that means for a tough Sweet Sixteen matchup looming in Atlanta.
