Wolverines working on accountability, defense, gelling together with big games upcoming

Throughout the 2022-23 season, one common theme for the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team has been figuring out how to play together and thrive defensively.

After some so-so showings and crumbling on the defensive side late in games, the Wolverines have their best defensive performance of the season against Maryland, winning 81-46 and only allowing a Michigan program-record 13 points in the first half.

In his media availability Tuesday afternoon, Maize n Brew asked assistant coach Saddi Washington about how this team has improved defensively, and he admitted this young team has definitely made strides on that side of the floor.
