It wasn't the dream ending anyone in Ann Arbor hoped for, but it sure was a successful season. Michigan basketball was knocked out of the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament in Year 1 under Dusty May after looking like it might have just enough to outlast Auburn. That all came crashing down in the second half, as the Wolverines watched the Tigers hit one shot after another. Tony and Andrew talk about their biggest takeaways from May's first year in Ann Arbor and what lessons can be taken from the 2024-25 season going forward.

Then, the guys talk about Michigan's busy start in the transfer portal, already landing Elliot Cadeau (North Carolina), Morez Johnson Jr. (Illinois) and Yaxel Lendeborg (UAB) in just the first few days after the season. Is this another sign that May is perfectly set up to succeed in this day and age?

And last but not least, we can't forget about spring football. Sherrone Moore's crew is on the field and getting in work, with of course the biggest question still being who will be the starting quarterback. Tony makes a prediction for the starter against New Mexico in Week 1, and shares a takeaway from the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

After a mostly awesome season, Michigan basketball appears to be limping into one-and-done time. The Wolverines lost their last three games of the regular season to Illinois, Maryland and Michigan State, where the story became a push from Tre Holloman in the final seconds.

Andrew and Tony open the show by discussing the Wolverines' really tough final week, why Michigan fans no-showed the final home game at Crisler Center and what to make of the whole floor-kiss incident in East Lansing.

The Hail Yes crew was thrilled this week to welcome former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein to the show for the first time. Few, if any, can offer the level of insight on the Michigan basketball program that Beilein can, and coming off a clutch late win over Penn State, it was the perfect time to sit down with the former coach.

Tony and John open by talking about the 2024-25 Wolverines and why John really likes this team and thinks it can go for a run. Then, Tony ask John about how he was able to build such a sustainable program and what principles Dusty May can use to return the Wolverines to a year in, year out winner.

Plus, Beilein talks about the Big Ten race at large and how the Spartans and Wolverines (the best rivalry in the sport, according to him) could be in for a fight to the finish this regular season.

This is a fantastic episode of Hail Yes that you just can't miss.
