And for Hunter Dickinson, Franz Wagner with the ball for Michigan, back to back 21 point games and he gets a friendly home court role there.

J Nice job against Luka Garza to good possessions.

To start this game against Kofi Coburn, a Michigan turnover and back in transition.

It's out of bounds to the align on.

Brooks tries to use the glass, as he does so often, doesn't get the bounce back on the line.

I, as J.

Mentioned without assuming First team, All American caliber player, they're going to go inside as much as they can because he has no problem doing that.

And he cited Zach Hammer, the video coordinator.

Stephen Gentry, one of the assistant coaches.

And Neil Gotta, who has a lot of Data Analytics and his educational background.

Yeah, the Big 10 tournament will look a lot like the N c.

Double A tournament with quality of teams.

I mean, it's ridiculous.

Good, good shot there by DeMont William Georgie Bojana, Swahili for Illinois as the bucket goes down for livers to get him back within one, and there's Wagner with the rejection at the other end, Shafilea might have been shaken up on the play.

He is just getting back into it here at the other end, members for three and Michigan jumps on top, and one of the reasons is he moves the ball and he's such a good cutter.

John Howard told us how he and Wagner have both embraced the uncomfortable.

This year's Curbelo gets the role.

Little pressure here and Curbelo gets it over and Curbelo, going close to cutting study, lays it in.

You have any governmental issues he can take care of.

Those two shot clock down to four.

Fraser the lefty up and good in the Align.

I take the lead Really good post defense by the freshman Hunter Dickinson.

Coburn for three no points.

Dickinson for four.

No points.

Curbelo with a turnaround, and he's in double figures already.

Now, with 11 Curbelo driving again, turn around too strong offensive rebound.

Granderson.

Miller for three got it about playing defense, and everybody inside the lane kicked it out to Miller, an excellent shooter who knocks down the 31 thing Michigan really does defensively, as they don't over help.

Yeah, where they stunt.

They're they're good pass good patients by Dickinson.

His first points of the night.

100 Dickinson getting fronted essentially by the genius villi, and he kept working.

He just held him off and waited for the ball to get to the right angle.

You can have the slack for the injured consumers, keeping the ball on a string now into Coburn and about the best position he's had all night.

Jay and it pays off.

Wall Street was just above the elbow, then rolls hard, and he was able to get that position because he was on the move.

If you're just going to go down to the block and getting a wrestling match with Hunter Dickinson, you're probably not going to win too many of those angles.

Just a horn set with Coburn out top.

And when they came off that little run screen, he just rolled right down to the basket to Boston Davis all the way under their Trent Frazier with the steal.

Uh huh, Okay, Ready for the tip of our Sonic blockbuster.

Dan Schulman, J.

Billa's With Illinois and Michigan into the second half, the Wolverines have lost only once this season.

Illinois was in drop coverage on that side.

Pick and roll.

Kobe Coburn did not stay connected to Dickinson, and Dickinson did not stay connected to cover.

Now the big fella got such an easy looked out at the other end.

He just rolls down the lane, gets an angle.

And then there's a little throwback.

That throwback went to grand down the time and score.

Let's see how this impacts the game as Coburn goes to the bench with his third, John is feeling back in and Smith with a corner three and the lead is down to eight for Illinois.

John Feeley for the foreseeable future, with both Covert and Dickinson on the bench with three fouls.

Randy Johnson for three.

Big bucket for the align on Miller, the freshman he can fill it up is that kind of a hot and cold year at 28 points in his debut this season.

Step back.

Three.

Yes, wow.

Illinois was up 11 at the half after this three by Miller.

There.

Now, up by 16, he's got six.

Nobody has more than six points tonight for the Wolverines.

Carmelo, No follow.

Yes, that's the freshman Coleman Hawkins from Sacramento, Miller in the back court and the freshman from Puerto Rico getting a little a little and they turn it over right away.

They didn't even know who should inbound the ball.

Just hustling for the rebound is Granderson and Granderson played for Bill Carmody at Holy Cross.

And he really knows how to cut 20.

Yeah, yeah, Illinois, looking to solidify its hold on a potential one seed, has been the best team in the country.

They're not tonight.

They're not playing like it tonight.

But Michigan and my judge has been with them in Gonzaga is the best teams in the country and another drive and lay in for Fraser, who's got a game high 16.

That was a great basketball team.

That's a heck of a debate.

Whether Trent Frazier is killing it in this game.

He's been fantastic.

We mentioned before when Fraser drives it to the left.

I think now Illinois, I don't want to hold the ball, but you want to be a little more deliberate.

Run some clock.

Coburn inside, and he's got a dozen years again.

Appears still to be favoring that right leg or right ankle a little bit Tre Bellow all the way to the goal, already searching my phone frantically to see if I can get one on the way home tonight.

Yeah, boy, he is shifted.

He's got game, Hawkins looking for help.

And that is Zach Griffith, the senior from Fisher, Illinois, Saturday next week for the tournament that he is back and able to play like he plays.

Amen.
