FILM: Northwestern has to slow Moritz Wagner to beat Michigan

Michigan has mo — as in momentum — having won five of its last six, a streak that includes a 31-point pounding of Michigan State and impressive wins over Wisconsin and, most recently, Purdue. After a lifeless loss at home against Ohio State on February 4, the Wolverines have looked like a completely different team over the past few weeks.

Michigan also has Moe — as in Moritz Wagner — an endlessly talented 6-foot-11, 240-pound sophomore forward out of Germany who has averaged over 16 points per game during the Wolverines’ impressive run. He has scored over 20 points twice and has failed to reach double digits just once.
