Dylan and Eric recap Michigan’s Saturday win at Rutgers. The Wolverines moved to 8-2 in Big Ten play with the victory as they won yet another close game. Today’s show recaps the defensive strategy on Ace Bailey, Tre Donaldson’s strong performance, rebounding and turnover issues (again), Michigan’s bench stepping up and more.

Agree with Eric that I would be surprised if we won the B1G. But there’s definitely an opportunity that Dylan is alluding to.
The next 5 games are vs Oregon, @ Indiana, Purdue, @ OSU, MSU. Figure out how to go 4-1 and you’re in the thick of the race. 3-2, especially if you still beat one or both of MSU/Purdue, then you’re still not out of it.
Michigan just needs to get to the final 5 game stretch still in the race. @ Nebraska, Rutgers, Illinois, Maryland, @ MSU is comparatively a lot more manageable than MSU’s final stretch imo.

Yeah, Michigan isn’t exactly playing well enough to say they are going to win the Big Ten right now. But until they either win or lose the home games against Purdue/MSU, it is hard to say definitively either direction.

“Atmospheres at home haven’t been great”
We got our first top 50 opponent at home in Oregon so I’m hoping it’ll be juiced up a little

Unfortunately I’m not sure a 6:30 Wednesday game is the ticket to get a juiced up crowd. Guessing Oregon doesn’t move the needle that much.
After losing twice last week, I doubt Oregon will even be “ranked” for the casuals who get excited to see a game against a team with a number next to their name.

But wait… it’s a Pink Out!!!
These early games blow for attendance. Friday night against MSU is literally dream scenario however
