Every conversation I’ve had about the Michigan men’s basketball team this season has been eerily similar. When I talk about this team with friends, family members or coworkers, I generally get the exact same sentiment. I’m paraphrasing here, but the conversation usually tends to be some version of this:
“I can’t muster the energy to care about this season, especially after we just won a natty in football.”
“It hasn’t gone great, but I’m excited to follow Michigan football in the draft, and I can’t wait for the spring game.”
“Yeah, this team is bad, and it’s gotten to the point where I’ve stopped watching on a consistent basis.
