247Sports Michigan beat writers Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga break down the Michigan men's basketball team's 75-63 win over Colorado State, discussing major takeaways and what's next for the Wolverines in the NCAA Tournament. They discuss Frankie Collins' starting debut and how he fared in DeVante' Jones' absence as both a spark plug and steadying force, seeming to improve as the game wore on. They also looked at Michigan's offense, and how height, post play and cleaning up turnovers played a role in the game changing tides. In the second half of the episode, they look at Michigan's defensive adjustments in the comeback win, what Tennessee brings to the table in the coming second-round matchup and what of Michigan's performance can be carried into Saturday's bout.
