LUCAS' FIVE TAKES:
Bronson Koenig & Nigel Hayes got UW out to 10-2 start (each had duece & triple). Rout on. NW didnt punch back. Looked bankrupt emotionally

Khalil Iverson's teammates played with heavy hearts for Iverson who returned to Ohio b/c death in family. Tm played for him, Ethan Happ said

Zak Showalter is so much more than a complementary player but he plays the role of one with his unselfish play. Really hounded McIntosh

With diverse scoring options/skill sets, Michigan will pose challenging springboard that may further shape UW's game/profile for Big Dance

Opposing defenses have taken UW out of rhythm with post doubles. But more reps & tweaks against that tactic is producing far better results
