Podcast: Transfer portal, what’s next for Michigan, and revisiting preseason over/unders - umhoops.com/2025/04/03/p...

What are the Wizards doing…

This was extremely well-done. Highly recommend

I, too, have decided to enter the transfer portal at this time. I will podcast about your team for the right price. My DMs are open.

big, if true

buddy foul baits a major fall, two-hand shoves an injured Johni Broome, and pushes Baker-Mazara out of bounds after releasing a pass, all in under 10 seconds

Watching Jeremy Fears triggers all of my basketball dislikes

Alabama may legitimately shoot 45-50 threes with how BYU is defending them plus the pace of this game

Official preview pod! Everything you could possibly need to know about the Auburn-Michigan matchup: personnel scout, offense, defense, X's and O's, and keys to the game. Don't just take my word for it -- NH Girl 5 knows what's up!

Really nasty set that Auburn runs. Dribble hand-off, swing, into an empty side Spain P&R with a weak side flare.

New pod! We recap all the details of Michigan's win over Texas A&M and talk early impressions of the Sweet 16 matchup against Auburn.

All 18 Big Ten head coaches are white — the only high-major conference where that's the case.

Scheyer could have played it safe and auto-benched Flagg, but played him with 2 fouls and the lead went from 1 to 17.

What’s more unbelievable? Michigan going from the worst team in the Big Ten and winning 8 total games to Big Ten Tourney Champs and a Sweet 16 a year later? Or Michigan outrebounding the best rebounding team in the country and Roddy Gayle hitting four threes?

Everyone in this tournament is running butt screens with a big sealing down low. It’s the set of the tournament. I’ve seen at least 6 teams do it with success, including many SEC programs

Add Houston to the list

Texas A&M scoring 6 times on "butt screens" in their opening round win vs. Yale

We are out here grinding, give it a listen before tomorrow's game!

Michigan up 3, Saint Mary's up 3. Neither fouled. Both won... should be noted.

The close game team keeps winning close games. If you would have told me Ty McGhie would be attacking in isolation play after play like he was LeBron James, I would NOT have thought it would have been tight down the stretch.

UC San Diego's defense is very good when it is set. Elite communicating switches, changing defenses, and recovering on kick-outs from their no-middle scheme. Michigan needs to push in transition at every opportunity -- true of most games -- and crash the offensive glass.

Walker Kessler had taken just 6 threes in 50 games this season. Suddenly, he attempted 11 over the last two games and has already taken 5 more in the first half tonight vs. Washington. What a time to "expand the skillset!"

(Another) New Pod! Absolutely everything you need to know about Michigan-UC San Diego. UCSD's offensive and defensive system, personnel scouting, key aspects of the game, who Vlad Goldin will guard, our predictions, and more.

UC San Diego is a nightmare to prepare for defensively I like to think I watch a ton of film and it's really hard to tell what defense they are in play-to-play This possession has everything. UCSD in their matchup zone, switching on-ball, shape-shifting, trapping the post and maintaining no-middle

The Wizards’ lineups tonight will be studied in front office tanking textbooks

NEW UMHoops pod! How Michigan won the Big Ten Tournament and an early preview of the UC San Diego matchup. We break down Michigan's impressive 2-point defense in Indy, Tre Donaldson's impact, early insights on the Tritons, how Michigan might match up, and more.

Congrats Michigan, you just won three Quad-1 games in 3 days to win the Big Ten championship. Your reward? Travelling West on 3 days rest to play in altitude against the top 12-seed and one of the highest rated 12-seeds in history

Wisconsin missing a lot of really clean looks from 3. 4th game in 4 days or will they start falling soon?

That Thunder-Celtics game was fucking awesome. What a chess match. Doubt OKC at your own peril

Interested to see Danny Wolf’s movement on draft boards after scouts see more of his recent film vs. the better defensive teams in the Big Ten. Had a long convo with a scout and we agreed it highlighted some of his biggest areas for improvement (physicality, finishing off one foot, C&S 3 hesitancy)

CJ's program deep dives are a must read

Michigan finished 14-6 in Big Ten play with a negative point differential.

Michigan's offense has been less efficient than Indiana and Northwestern's in Big Ten games.
