Point guard Mike Smith proving he's a great fit for Michigan basketball

In his first four seasons of college basketball at Columbia, Mike Smith played 92 games.

The Lions won 35 games during that stretch. Their longest win streak — achieved twice — was three.

The first took place against Maine, Howard and Cornell between Jan. 2-14, 2017; the second against Brown, Yale and Dartmouth between March 1-8, 2019.

On Thursday night, Smith and Michigan basketball won their eighth consecutive game, a 84-73 road win at Maryland that kept the Wolverines' record unblemished as they head into the New Year. The grad transfer tallied 16 points, six rebounds and six assists in what might've been his best performance of the young season.
