Podcast 02-13-19 (Michigan basketball, 2020 recruiting, Pep is gone)

The podcast opens with around 40 minutes of discussion about the Michigan basketball team. We begin by breaking down the sixth-ranked Wolverines’ 75-69 upset loss at Penn State, and what went into some of Michigan’s woes both on offense and on defense. We also look at some of the officiating that occurred in the game, including Michigan coach John Beilein’s first ejection from a game in 40 years. We continue the discussion by looking at what concerns that emerged Tuesday night are legitimate concerns for the remainder of the season, and if and how Michigan can overcome some of its bigger issues ahead of a tough stretch of games to close the regular season. Following the basketball talk, we switch to football for the closing 25 minutes. We answer a question about fan panic over 2020 recruiting and early signs for Michigan, then break down what to make of the Wolverines’ decision to let Pep Hamilton go, replace him with Ben McDaniels and hire two new analysts.
