008 - Steady Droppin' Dimes 040326

In this special edition of Steady Dropping Dimes on Michigan Insider, host Sam welcomes back former Michigan point guard and current basketball analyst Daniel Horton to break down Michigan's path to the Final Four and their upcoming matchup against Arizona. The conversation centers on Michigan's depth, maturity, and physicality as key advantages over younger, talented teams like Arizona. Daniel highlights Yaxo Lindeborg's evolution into a dominant force—both offensively and defensively—and praises the team's ability to answer adversity as a unit rather than relying on one player. He emphasizes how Arizona’s offensive predictability and two-big lineup play directly into Michigan’s strengths, particularly in transition and ball-screen defense. The hosts also discuss critical matchups, including Elliott Cadeau’s elite point guard play, the post battle between Adai Mara and Arizona’s 7'3" Krevis, and the potential for Trey McKinney to exploit size mismatches. Despite Arizona’s talent, the consensus is that Michigan’s experience, execution, and relentless pace will lead to a double-digit victory. The episode closes with a spirited debate on whether this team can be considered the best in Michigan history, citing historic win totals, blowout margins, and projected NBA talent as compelling evidence—though a national championship remains the final benchmark. The hosts also promote fan buses to the national championship via Golden & Limo, anticipating a surge in demand if Michigan advances.
