I’ve held off on writing about this Michigan basketball team for quite some time for a couple simple reasons — mainly because we were in the midst of covering a national championship football team (that was cool). But I also don’t willingly sacrifice my valuable time to things that aren’t worth my while — why would you go out of your way to watch the new, horrible-looking musical version of Mean Girls on a Tuesday at 9 p.m. on a streaming service you don’t need when you can watch the OG whenever you want?
Michigan basketball in its current form is exactly that: a reenactment of something that used to be good — something that could (and probably should) be good — but is a far cry from its highest potential.
