Juwan Howard raves about defensive stopper Eli Brooks
Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports With the game on the line on Sunday, the Michigan Wolverines needed a stop in a critical moment to hold off an upset effort from Penn State. The Nittany Lions turned to Sam Sessoms for the final shot and Wolverines guard Eli Brooks responded with one of the best defensive possessions you will ever see, helping preserve what would become a 62-58 win in Ann Arbor to kick off conference play.
Brooks’ value to the team was never more evident than on Sunday as he continued to show himself as being one of the best defenders in the Big Ten while also contributing 12 points in the victory. Head coach Juwan Howard spoke about the performance after the game.
