CSNdy - Evan Miya on how we got here (and where we're going)

Dusty May has said all year - even after big wins - that Michigan hoops is not yet at the pinnacle. Well, for this weekend, they've arrived at the site of the pinnacle, but there's still business to tend to. We chat with the basketball Voice of the Wolverines, Brian Boesch, about the 2-year build that Coach May has been leading in Ann Arbor, and what makes this team so good at every position. They're the title favorites for a reason, folks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And then there were four. But damn what a journey it took to get us here! Sunday's UConn/Duke game was so epic and so good (unless you're a Duke fan) that Hartzell and Norlander had to spend the first half hour unpacking what we all saw go down in Washington DC last night. Plus, other takes from the weekend; including the two other really good games in the East Regional, Illinois' romp through the Midwest, the absolute wagons that are Michigan and Arizona, plus some first-hand accounts of the San Jose trip from our boy Norlander. Some Indianapolis look-ahead with the fellas, and we end the show with the latest on UNC's head coaching vacancy and the top three candidates - in order - as we head into the Final Four. And what happens if they all say no? Yikes. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
