LINCOLN — When Franz Wagner watched the film from Michigan basketball's two most recent games, he quickly noticed a flaw in his performance.

Wagner realized that he had been too quick to settle for jumpers in home losses to Penn State and Illinois last week. Against the Nittany Lions, he shot just 1-of-8 from outside. Against the Illini, he was 1-of-6.

Upon reviewing the two games, Wagner didn't necessarily think the 3-point attempts were bad shots.
