In frustration and in empathy, Juwan Howard's recent journey reminds us of who we are

You’ll remember the running hook shot from Eli Brooks. The offensive rebounds and putbacks down the stretch from Terrance Williams II. The mid-range jumpers from Brooks. The 3-pointers from the big guy, Hunter Dickinson, who gives these Michigan Wolverines a chance every time they take the floor.

You’ll remember Juwan Howard’s decision to switch from man-to-man to zone, to make it harder for Tennessee’s electric freshman point guard, Kennedy Chandler, to attack the rim. And the fortitude, from everyone on the floor, those last seven-plus minutes when U-M was down six and struggling to score and a Sweet 16 berth began to slip away.
