On Monday afternoon,
and I were joined by former Michigan basketball player and current Big Ten analyst Ant Wright to preview Tuesday night's big matchup in Ann Arbor. (The Ant conversation starts around the 20:00 mark.)Among the topics discussed:
Why the individual trajectories of Kel'el, Malik, and Mackenzie are all positive ... even if the lineup construction is still imperfect.
What's up with Indiana's guards? What does Trey Galloway need to do for Indiana to take the next step?
Is Indiana's defensive philosophy at odds with Mike Woodson's desire to play faster?
What are the key matchups for Tuesday night's game?
Why Michigan's defense has been so bad this season.
Ant's surprising choice for best freshmen class in the Big Ten.
Other thoughts from around the conference
All that and much more.

Love Ant’s honest takes. I appreciated his observations on Mac. As he said, most high school kids don’t understand how to play hard but he is starting to figure it out. And yes our guards are disappointing so far. I posted this before, but it is time to assume we will be without X or a fully healthy X and start managing rotations and minutes accordingly. Finally good heads up regarding Peacock. No real DVR function with this service. Be prepared to be frustrated.
