  • Best podcast for Michigan sports

    Recruiting coverage is excellent, accurate, and diverse, covering a wide range of topics between episodes whether it be about recruiting for specific positions, rankings, evaluations, approach, etc. Breakdowns of the football and basketball programs are also top notch, again covering loads of topics such as game breakdowns, player performances, coach and player interviews, scheme, and much more.

    I generally enjoy the podcast but for the love of all things holy please get Steve some decent audio equipment. You can only hear about 20% of anything he says. What is with the obnoxious fluctuations in the volume of his voice??

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Michigan Basketball Insider - Michigan vs UCONN National Championship Preview (Part 2)
Q: What is the key to Mara's impact if he stays out of foul trouble?
Tim argues Mara can dominate even when matched against strong defenders, noting that avoiding fouls is essential to keep him on the floor for extended minutes and exploit his length and mobility late in the game.
Michigan Basketball Insider - Michigan vs UCONN National Championship Preview (Part 2)
Q: What matchup presents the biggest challenge for Michigan against UConn?
Tim identifies UConn's perimter-oriented offense, multiple capable scorers, and DHOs as a harder tactical problem than the Arizona game, requiring Michigan to switch effectively and contest without fouling, especially with key players potentially limited.
Michigan Basketball Insider - Michigan vs UCONN National Championship Preview (Part 2)
Q: How would you protect Yaxel Lendeborg on the defensive end given his health and mobility?
Tim recommends not matching him up with primary guards, instead using him to guard forward types and keeping his minutes limited on days when he's not moving well, while relying on other players like Trey McKenney to absorb more defensive responsibility.
Steady Droppin' Dimes - Michigan vs UCONN National Championship Preview (Part 1)
Q: Give me your winner, Daniel. You were golden in the last prediction. How does this one go?
Daniel Horton predicts Michigan will win by 7 to 10 points, citing Michigan's interior strength, pace control, and the coaching match-up as the decisive factors.
Michigan vs Duke postgame: Wolverines come up short in clash of bball titans, fall to Duke, 68-63
Q: What lessons do you think Michigan takes from the last couple of days, from the turnaround from Purdue to here out in DC?
The biggest takeaway was it gives you that real tournament prep, as this was a major game against a big-time opponent, preparing them for similar situations in the NCAA tournament.
