Former Michigan Fab Five member Chris Webber on radio seemed to take a subtle shot at Michigan while also praising the current team and the heart and emotion with which it won the Big Ten tournament on Sunday.

Webber, now a TNT analyst, appeared Monday on the Rich Eisen Show and said he’s excited about the upcoming NCAA Tournament, even for teams he would have considered during his playing days rivals like North Carolina and Duke.
