Michigan basketball practices ahead of Texas Tech Sweet 16 game on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, in Anaheim, Calif. Nick Baumgardner, Freep
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Luke Yaklich is often the first to admit he can get a bit carried away with his film study and note-taking.
And on a Thursday night in December, one of those moments happened.
Yaklich, Michigan's top defensive assistant, found himself watching the end of Texas Tech's matchup with Duke at Madison Square Garden.
The Blue Devils ultimately won the game, but Yaklich couldn't stop himself from watching how Chris Beard's club bothered the hell out of what most would call the country's most talented basketball team for 40 minutes.
