Michigan women’s basketball head coach Kim Barnes Arico joins Big Jim to break down the Wolverines’ tough Big Ten Tournament loss to Iowa — and what it means for a young Michigan team heading into the NCAA Tournament.

In this candid conversation, Barnes Arico talks about the emotional fourth quarter, the pressure young student-athletes face in big moments, and why she believes this Michigan team is still growing into something special.

Despite the disappointment in Indianapolis, the Wolverines just completed the best regular season in program history, and Barnes Arico believes the team has earned the opportunity to host NCAA Tournament games in Ann Arbor.

In this episode, Jim talks with author Luke Epplin about his new book Moses and the Doctor, a deep look at two legends who helped shape modern basketball: Julius Erving and Moses Malone.

Before the NBA became the Magic vs. Bird league of the 1980s, Erving and Malone formed one of the most powerful pairings in basketball history with the Philadelphia 76ers. Their partnership led to the dominant 1983 championship team, but their story — and influence on the modern game — often gets overshadowed.

Epplin explains how two completely different personalities shaped the sport in different ways.

Dr. J was the artist — improvisational, electrifying, and the blueprint for players like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Moses Malone was the quiet force — a relentless rebounder and MVP whose blue-collar dominance changed how the center position was played.

In this conversation:

• How the ABA vs. NBA rivalry shaped the modern game
• The dual personality of Dr. J on and off the court
• Why Moses Malone might be the most underrated MVP in NBA history
• The real story behind the famous “Fo’, Fo’, Fo’” playoff prediction
• Why the legendary 1983 Sixers don’t get enough credit today
• Luke Epplin’s “Big First Step” moment that pushed him to become a professional writer

For fans of basketball history, this is a look at the era that helped build the modern NBA.
