    Weird comment Balas. Someone says that about my wife by a media person not cool.

  • very depressing

    Anthony be happy, you can say some nice things about the team it’s okay. Just listening it sounds like we lost our 20th game in a row. Giving up a late touchdown when our 2nd and 3rd string are in that’s okay too. They are getting playing time. This game was over.

  • Post game show is unlistenable

    It’s the 4th game now and all this season’s postgame shows have had brutal audio. I don’t understand why RVB can’t get it fixed or just don’t put him on the show. AB is skilled enough to do that show alone

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Michigan Storylines + Predictions With Brian Boesch | The Wolverine Basketball Show
Q: Will this team finish better than that, third or slightly worse than that and why?
Boesch expects Michigan to be in contention for a top-four Big Ten finish and a high conference tournament seed, while noting that the team must develop its depth and should not be measured against last season's historic record.
Michigan Storylines + Predictions With Brian Boesch | The Wolverine Basketball Show
Q: Your thoughts on that, just what we could see differently offensively from this team?
Boesch expects a shift toward the backcourt, more mid-range shots, and increased importance for Mustafa Cham's impact and development. He says JP Estrella may also shoot more threes, while the offense adds layers under the new staff.
"NO TIME TO PANIC:" Jason Beck remains Michigan's OC, AD search begins, hoops & more I #goblue
Q: Are all three of you still on board with this staff slash regime? That meaning OC and DC. Do you still think these are the guys to per se, quote, get it done in A2?
The hosts say Jason Beck has not succeeded as offensive coordinator, while they support Jay Hill because of the defense's performance. They express reservations about Whittingham and the offensive line staff.
"NO TIME TO PANIC:" Jason Beck remains Michigan's OC, AD search begins, hoops & more I #goblue
Q: How much of Witt's lack of answers on the offensive problems is coach speaking? How much is he just not wanting to address the play calling?
Chris Ballas says Whittingham is relying too heavily on Jason Beck's past success and should involve other offensive coaches more in decisions and play calling.
Justin Joyner Joins To Talk FACING Michigan In Exhibition, 2026 Natty + Taking Over At Oregon State | The Wolverine Basketball Show
Q: So tell us about what that transition is going to be like for your program and what your expectations are in year one.
Joyner says Oregon State must first become relevant, then good, by working together, winning tough games, and protecting home court. He views the new Pac-12 as a strong league and says the team is aiming higher than an average season.
