Michigan 73, Wayne State 54 - Game Notes |
Manny Harris led all
scorers with 25, Zack Novak had 15 (all on 3-pointers), and
every player saw the floor as the Wolverines took down the Wayne
State Warriors, 73-54. The starting lineup was Peedi, Manny, and
Air Novak in the frontcourt, with LLP and (surprise!) Darius
Morris at the guard spots.
Darius looked decent defensively, especially since he was often
guarding a player six inches shorter than him (Wayne State
started three players under 6 feet tall), but offensively seemed
to have some trouble scoring the ball. He still had three
assists and looked like a great distributor. The other freshmen
did not see as many minutes, though all showed some promise in
their little time on the floor.
Peedi only had 9 points on 3-9 shooting, but was constantly
double-teamed in the post because of his height advantage on
everybody who tried guarding him. He essentially split time at
center with Zack Gibson, who played nearly as many minutes as
the All-Big Ten third teamer.
Northern Michigan comes to Ann Arbor next Saturday - 7pm start.

RECENT NEWS
What are the pundits saying?
"Anticipation" is a good word to use when referring to
our basketball team this fall. We anticipate a team that will be competing for
a Sweet 16 berth. We anticipate no fewer than 20 wins for the second year in a
row. And we anticipate one of the best years in Michigan basketball history.
And the rest of the nation has started to take notice. Lindy's has us ranked
ninth in the nation (third in the Big Ten), and Manny is gracing the cover
with Kalin Lucas. Obviously, this is only a regional cover, but it still has
all of us in the 'Rage excited for this season. The Sporting News has us in
the top 25, and Rivals is counting down the top 30 teams in college
basketball; with 26 to go, we still have not appeared on the list.
OVER 100 STUDENTS COME OUT TO MASS MEETING
The Maize Rage held their first mass meeting in three
years Monday, September 28, and the Kuenzel Room in the Michigan Union was
packed beyond capacity. Maybe it was the free food and drinks, but in all
honesty it was probably the fact that John Beilein made an appearance. After
President Nick Mattar and Superfan X Will McDowell spoke, coach Beilein gave a
great speech about the importance of the Maize Rage and how it is the 'Rage
that really gives the team the most support.
