He entered the game around the 12:00 with Michigan down 4. He went out at 2:11 with UM up 9. That is +13 while he was on the floor. I believe he was 3 for 4 from 3 Pt.

He just took it to the rack for a layup a minute ago.

Wagner is playing like the fourth best player on our team right now. Amazingly necessary surprise.

Wagner can finish the gimme baskets. That's all I've ever wanted. That Juwan-Howard-like ability to make easy shots actually look easy in the post.

He uses his size well when the ball is in his hands.

He has post moves that defenders aren't used to seeing these days. Moves that were more common in the 80s/90s. Head fakes, quick jab steps before going up or drop stepping, that drop step where he starts one way and rocks back the other, using the rim and backboard to screen the shotblocker's hands... he's got nice footwork, and it's quick.

Why does this shit always happen to us? It wouldn't be a Michigan bball or football game without someone getting injured.

Michigan has two capable backup PGs, provided Spike gets and stays healthy.

Levert is irreplaceable. Walton has been somewhat disappointing as a distributor. I like him better as a 2 (which we have several of).

Caris just knows how to get the ball in the basket, he's not oustanding at anything he just knows how to score, I love it.

His stop and go moves are dirty (especially for a guy his height). His toes have to be just smashed in the front of his shoes after a game.

Happy with Wagner. Thought he would need a year. But we needed him NOW.

in the 10 minutes he was on the bench, UM was out scored 9-14. In the 10 minutes of playing, UM outscored NCS 25-12.

Should be starting. You want your best players on the court and they are difference makers. This team could be Final 4 good by the end of the year with further development. Robinson has very good passing skills that will be more apparent later in the year.

Where do you start Robinson though? He just doesn't have the athleticism to guard the 4.
