Things Discussed: On early: Talkin Detroit Tigers. How this went down: Yax started with college as a fallback, Michigan visit shifted things. NBA side of it stayed—if anything the measurements at the Combine improved his NBA stock. But Michigan convinced him. Laid out the red carpet. Coaches went to the Combine to support him. Did we out-recruit the NBA? Yes, because the NBA wasn't recruiting him, and we are very good at recruiting. Good sign for the future: Dusty May knows how to convince a fringe NBA guy to come back to college. Going to have an advantage when they're the competition because we're always going to want these players more than the NBA for the same money. What does this do? Cross between Danny Wolf and Johni Broome. Danny measured 6'10.5, but Yaxel is 6'9", much better about turnovers, much better free throw shooter, better face-up guy, close to that level of defender. Team: Cadeau and Yaxel are your creators, need Cason to be a breakdown threat, need Gayle and Nimari to be your finishers, and then center is Johnson's defensive presence. Big Ten next year: Purdue is still #1, they are going to have a 7'3" guy from Belgium so they don't die whenever TKR gets in foul trouble. Michigan is in that tier with them. Proven shooting on this roster? Uh, Tschetter? Need three or four of Cason/Gayle/McKenney/Burnett/Grady to be that. Minutes? Cadeau most of them at the point with Cason taking some. McKenny backup up Gayle and Nimari at the SG spots, Tschetter backing up Lendeborg, Johnson/Mara at center. Upside: Team is all about creation: Cadeau, Lendeborg are creators, Gayle and Cason are secondary creators, McKenney has that upside. Rotation: 8+2 like Dusty likes. Think they'll work in the freshmen some but Goodman probably redshirts unless there's an injury, Grady gets maybe 10% of minutes as a spacer depending on how the others are shooting, Trey develops into a major part of the rotation by season's end but needs time to adjust. Defensively this team will be a nightmare to play against.

Another wild week in sports, and Craft Brewed Sports is diving headfirst into the chaos. Ohio lawmakers want to ban Noon kickoffs for big games (because why not?), the NFL is trying to tweak everything from the Tush Push to playoff seeding, and Olympic Flag Football is officially happening—with NFL players allowed to suit up. We're building the ultimate Team USA Flag Football roster, debating if Brock Purdy is worth the bag, and breaking down the WNBA's biggest rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese. Also on tap: Shaq stokes NBA Draft conspiracy theories, MLB continues fixing problems nobody asked them to, and Drake blames Bieber for yet another Leafs collapse. Grab a cold one and let's get into it.

Dan makes a point about Chaney Johnson and Dylan Cardwell's performances when Johni Broome went down with an elbow injury. Justin breaks down Broome's dominance, from the hot start to the dramatic 3-pointer that virtually sealed the victory.They continue by looking at how Auburn's guards had their moments of offensive excellence against the Spartans and why that could be a good sign heading toward San Antonio.

Things Discussed: Auburn: They're Michigan if Michigan was everything they wanted them to be. No turnovers, extremely high efficiency. Michigan's turnovers are mostly still Michigan's. Lately the first 5 minutes of every game they're on pace for 60 TOs and then they are not a high-turnover team the rest of the game. UC San Diego: Michigan was a terrible matchup for them. Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones is their top scorer and he was useless against Danny Wolf. They had a good shooting day and Michigan had turnovers to make it close. Texas A&M: Michigan put their effort into rebounding. A&M saying they couldn't score at the rim in the 2nd half but they've been a bad shooting team all year and the only thing that was working was Payne physically dominating. LJ Cason: Go ahead young fella! Dusty admitting he should have played him more during the season, but Cason wasn't very playable until recently. Gives Michigan a different attack because nobody's been able to attack the rim since Gayle's shooting issues began. It's also the way to break A&M, which wants to have one bad defender on the court for scoring purposes and can get away with it if you have an offensive weak spot on the court. Gayle: What a game! Not just the shooting; he was making big plays on defense and creating for others as well. But the shooting is the thing; he's been slowly getting his shot back, and that opens up all kinds of offense because letting him sit alone at the perimeter was the way defenses took away Area 50->1. Why didn't Nimari play much? Because he's not a rebounder and you're playing Texas A&M. Rubin Jones was a key player on the boards. Cason and Gayle were doing a good job of boxing out. A&M's rebounding isn't just the bigs; they get wings heavily involved and keeping them outside was key. Goldin tired? Put all of his breath into rebounding; flopped three times against Payne—as soon as Payne got tired A&M had no way to score points. Michigan scored 30 points in the last 10 minutes of that game. AUBURN: They're 8 seniors and a 5-star freshman who chased Tre Donaldson out of there. Maybe one of the best basketball teams the Tournament has seen in many years because they have these up-transfers who got a few years to play together and an extra season to improve their skills. Do we have a chance? They're an excellent team. They're better Michigan. They let off the gas a little against A&M and gave up 24 ORebs because Auburn had already clinched the SEC; before that their only losses were overtime vs (two-big) Alabama and at Duke. Brian says Michigan needs to use A&M's strategy—win a lot of rebounds and get 17 extra shots?—and shoot 40% from three. Seth thinks the key is make them pull Dylan Cardwell because the switching is forcing him to be an offensive nexus, and then have Goldin score on Johni Broome, who's more of a finesse center.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.auburnobserver.comJustin and Dan preview Auburn basketball's Sweet 16 showdown with Michigan. They start by making a point about the success for this team before the second weekend begins and how they've positioned themselves strongly with what should be a familiar and favorable atmosphere in Atlanta. The breakdown starts with a look at Tre Donaldson, who has gone to Michigan to run the show at point guard and has led the Wolverines to a great turnaround season. Justin looks at the matchup between Donaldson and Denver Jones. Dan makes a point about what this game means for the other guards on the floor. Then the guys take a closer look at the matchup of Johni Broome, Dylan Cardwell and Chaney Johnson against Vlad Goldin and Danny Wolf. They look at what it might take for either frontcourt to have success and the keys to victory for Auburn down low. The episode concludes with a rundown of the rest of the Sweet 16, thoughts on Texas' new men's basketball coach and Atlanta restaurants to know.This is a premium podcast for Observer subscribers only.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.auburnobserver.comJustin and Dan break down Auburn basketball's underwhelming NCAA Tournament win over Alabama State. The guys start by discussing how the effort and energy just wasn't consistently there from everybody for the Tigers — and how that prompted Steven Pearl and others to be quite direct with their postgame comments.They look at why Auburn's win didn't do much to ease concerns from fans down the stretch and how this was a missed opportunity for a reset. Justin looks at Johni Broome and Chad Baker-Mazara's performances. Dan points out how Miles Kelly, Chaney Johnson and Tahaad Pettiford could be great signs moving forward if the Tigers can take advantage of them.The episode ends with a look at a Creighton squad that torched the nets and took a Louisville team with a clear home-court advantage out of the game Thursday. The guys look at similar opponents that the Tigers have faced this season and what it's going to take to advance to the Sweet 16. This is a premium podcast for Observer subscribers only.

Things Discussed: Michigan wins Big Ten Tournament, it doesn't matter for seeding, and then the get the strongest 12-seed in the history of Kenpom. UC San Diego preview: They figured out how to deal with a 7-footer in the third game against UC Irvine, the other good team in their conference of California state schools plus Hawai'i, but they haven't faced two 7-footers. Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones is their major usage guy who might end up having to play a lot of center because Nordin Kapic, their nominal big, is a 6'8"/245 stretch. PG Hayden Gray has the #1 steal rate in the country, and this is part from him harassing you from all angles all over the court, and part playing in a league of teams with bad handles. Need a plan for getting upcourt and warning when he's coming. Seeding: Proof that the Committee just needs to go, because they're trying to talk Kenpom now instead of rewarding seasons. Just use Wins Above Bubble like they do (with Pairwise) in hockey. Sam thinks they way overvalued nonconference games, which hosed Michigan given the context of Michigan's losses; some two-way thinking went on where close losses in the nonconference are a big deal but close wins in-conference are luck. The explanations offered up by the UNC AD were not inspiring. He was trying to make math cases but the guy is clearly illiterate in terms of math. Seth thinks they were trying to make a bracket instead of a field, using their own limited understandings of matchup stats to give top seeds easier paths, even though that's explicitly not what their job is. Evidence: they were talking about things like wins against Iowa State when their best player was out not counting as much. That's terrible. Round 2? Brian thinks Yale can beat A&M who can't shoot. They're the Iowa of basketball: they rely on Cooper DeJean returns. Seth thinks A&M rebounds too well and they always manage to hit stupid shots in the last minute. Nobotdy thinks we're getting past Auburn and Johni Broome, a point forward whose TO rate is 8. Louisville doing us a favor in Lexington? Chucky Hepburn isn't beating Auburn. How far is MSU going? "Cakewalk to Final 4" what? Auburn as well, unless ISU beats them, but their injuries are too much to overcome. Rooting for the Young Martellis (that's a 30-point spread). Remembering Giddy Potts. Theory: MSU has too many centers for Izzo. That's a great thing in the Big Ten where Our brackets? SEC-heavy. Florida, Auburn, Alabama…I mean I want to root for Houston but I hate their draw of upset specials and their slow pace that invites it.
