LUCAS' FIVE TAKES:

Beilein not known for doubling post but after Ethan Happ had 18 (8of9) in 1stH he resorted to tactic at times to limit Happ to 4 (2of4) 2ndH

Michigan was able to speed up D'Mitrik Trice on offense resulting in rushed shots. Understandable for 1st start. Tried to pick up others

Hottest scorer in B10, Derrick Walton, held to 5 pts (1of8) but still impacted win with 2 steals/8 assists incl on Abdur-Rahkman 4pt play

Greg Gard frustrated by failure to finish around rim esp in 2ndH. Pointed out D'Mitrik Trice led tm in FTA with 4. (UW was 9of9 from stripe)

Bronson Koenig's status is still a question. D'Mitrik Trice's poise is not . Handled post game like a vet. Pledged to learn from baptism
