001 - Show Open and closing out the Michigan Women's Hoops season 033126

The Michigan Insider wraps up the 2026 women's basketball season with a reflective and bittersweet analysis of Michigan's 77-41 loss to the Texas Longhorns in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. Host Matt Missler breaks down the game's lopsided outcome, highlighting Texas's dominant second-half performance, 43-20 scoring advantage, and superior team stats including rebounds, assists, and three-point shooting. Despite a glimmer of hope at halftime, Michigan struggled with shot selection and execution, failing to reach 50 points for the first time all season. The episode honors the senior class—Brooke Corals Daniels, Alyssa Crockett, Macy Brown, and Allie Van Timmeren—for their loyalty and leadership. The final four is now set with Texas facing UCLA and South Carolina taking on UConn in Phoenix, with both games airing on the Big Ten 50. The show also covers other Michigan sports updates, including the Tigers' loss to the Diamondbacks, the Pistons' narrow overtime defeat, and the Red Wings' playoff push. A brief interlude features a promotional segment for the Ann Arbor Wine and Spirits Fest and a financial wellness message from Paula Pan.
