Michigan with yet another SWEET tournament run. What's working, and can it last?

The Michigan Insider

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro reflect on their coverage in Indianapolis, as the Michigan men’s basketball team shocked most in advancing to its fifth-straight Sweet Sixteen with come-from-behind upset victories. They also look at the big-picture significance of the weekend and take a quick preview look at Villanova.

They begin by each discussing the most impressive thing they saw from the weekend. They opine on the resiliency, veteran starters stepping up and other encouraging traits shown. They then pivot into a discussion on if making a Sweet Sixteen negates some of the season’s other shortcomings and makes it a successful season, as well as discussing what makes Michigan such a consistent March contender.

In the second half of the show, the two get into a discussion of how close Michigan is to becoming a “blue-blood” program, and what it might take to get to that level. They close with a peek at Villanova, and some of the strengths and weaknesses Michigan has to be wary of in the contest.
