Why Michigan basketball's guards make life tough for opponents

Mike Smith is listed — perhaps generously — at 5-foot-11 on Michigan basketball's roster.

Wisconsin's Brad Davison, meanwhile, is listed at 6-4.

So it was no surprise that the Badgers tried using Davison's size advantage in Tuesday night's game at Michigan by posting him up on the team's second possession.

Despite giving up at least five inches, Smith stood strong and forced a miss.

Davison finished with two points on 1-for-8 shooting

Smith, meanwhile, finished with a team-high 16 points and six assists in the Wolverines' 23-point blowout of the Badgers.
