Transfers, transfers and more transfers. That's the state of college sports these days and with Tuesday serving as the official deadline for entering your name in the transfer portal, there was a rash of players testing the waters.

Tony and Rainer open the show by discussing how we got to this point and the sustainability (or lack thereof) long term. Then the guys break down how Michigan has navigated the madness so far and debate whether their model of building through development is even sustainable anymore.

Into the (transfer) portal: What has happened to college sports and how does it affect Michigan?

At long last, the NCAA Tournament is finally here. Andrew and Tony analyze Michigan's draw in the Midwest Region, what fans need to know about the first weekend matchups and why Saint Louis could be a bit scary. Then the guys discuss Michigan's loss to Purdue, what went wrong and why the Wolverines could be a bit more vulnerable (for their own ridiculously high standards). And last but not least, the guys pick some Cinderella teams, a national champion and how far Michigan will go.

Michigan basketball puts stamp on its best regular season ever with epic MSU win

Tony and Andrew are back to discuss Michigan locking up the Big Ten regular season crown with wins over Minnesota and Illinois and how Michigan can make history and join an elite crowd with a win at Iowa. Then the guys break down the L.J. Cason injury, how it alters Michigan's team and who must step up. Plus, Tony and Andrew look ahead to the final regular season games against the Hawkeyes and MSU. Does Michigan have an edge because they've got no pressure with everything already locked up? Or does MSU come in more hungry with seeding still to play for. And last but not least, who are some potential matchups for Michigan in March Madness?
