In this episode, we break down the Michigan basketball team’s 10-0 start, including three straight double-digit wins against top-50 opponents.
We begin by taking a look at what has impressed us the most about the Wolverines’ recent wins. We discuss Michigan’s improved defense and Juwan Howard’s adjustments, how bought-in the Wolverines are and how that has translated into into on-court effort.
Next, we discuss players beyond Hunter Dickinson who have stepped up. We take a look at Mike Smith’s value beyond the box score (in addition to box-score contributions), along with Franz Wagner’s emergence into the much-hyped two-way player many had expected entering the season.
We then turn our attention to some bigger-picture discussions. We look at Michigan’s biggest weaknesses, the Wolverines’ staying power atop the Big Ten standings and more.
