Saddi Washington on Michigan’s ups and downs
Michigan suffered a stunning, 63-61 loss to Central Michigan, but bounced back with a resounding, 81-46 victory over Maryland to improve to 2-0 in Big Ten play. This season has been up and down overall, but the Wolverines took a big step forward versus the Terrapins. Washington shared his thoughts on the bounce back and how to carry that effort forward.
“We’ve talked a lot lately about just respecting the game,” Washington said. “The way that we approach our preparation, the way that we approach with our effort and intensity and mindset going into every game has to be at an elite level. Because, let’s face it, this game and this conference certainly can be unforgiving if you just show up and try to go through the motions. And I’m not saying that, that was what we were doing. But as you can see across the board in the league, there are no gimmes, and you’ve got to show up every freaking night prepared to battle until the end.
“Hopefully, what we saw the other night is more the norm for us as we move forward. But the Big Ten is the Big Ten. When you have two games like that, it’s very clear to the players what the standard should be, right? I think they can recognize it better, and we can all hold each other more accountable to that standard.”
