Michigan Basketball: No Consistent X-Factor This Season

Related Topics: John Beilein, Basketball

You can count on two things when you listen to a Michigan basketball broadcast: the mentioning of John Beilein never being an assistant coach, and the Wolverines depending heavily on the play of whoever it may be that night.

For the latter, the name often changes. Most nights it’s Zak Irvin, sometimes it’s D.J. Wilson or Derrick Walton Jr., and other times it’s Moritz Wagner.

In a 53-50 win over Texas on Tuesday night, it was Wagner, who had 15 points (7-of-13 shooting), 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. Two of those 15 came off an offensive rebound with Michigan down one with 20 seconds to play.
