Why Michigan basketball's Olivier Nkamhoua believes he's the missing piece — again

Olivier Nkamhoua smiled as soon as the question began; he knew it was only a matter of time.

Michigan basketball's newest forward, who transferred to Ann Arbor this offseason after four years at Tennessee, spoke with reporters via video conference call Saturday for the first time since his addition became official.

He was asked for his thoughts on March 19, 2022 — the most recent meeting between his former and current programs, a second-round NCAA tournament matchup in Indianapolis. Nkamhoua, then a junior, didn't play, however; after starting the first 22 games of the season, he broke his ankle in February.
