Michigan opened the nation’s eyes this past week. First, the Wolverines stomped No. 8 Villanova in Philadelphia by 27. Next, they swept George Washington and Providence to take the Air Force Reserve Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament in Uncasville, Conn.
Everyone expects dominant defense, and Luke Yaklich’s No. 1 efficiency unit delivered. It allowed just 39 percent shooting to the Colonials and 28 percent to the Friars.
However, some of the biggest plays of the weekend were on offense, as several play-makers started finding their shooting strokes.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
Much was expected of the sophomore guard from Milwaukee entering this winter.
