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?

How Michigan basketball replaces L.J. Cason, preview of MSU game and U-M's chance to make history

It came down to the wire, but ultimately Michigan basketball came up just short against Duke on Saturday. So what went for the Wolverines against the Blue Devils? Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing a fun but ultimately disappointing game for Michigan, and why the loss will almost certainly pay dividends when things really matter in March and April. Plus, the guys discuss Michigan's dominant win over Purdue and why it's easily among the best wins of the season in the Big Ten. Last but not least, Tony and Andrew look at the rest of the season for Michigan basketball, including the game on Tuesday, when the Wolverines can lock up a share of the Big Ten regular season title with a victory over the Gophers.
