Yeah, Austin still clearly gets roasted defensively. Not fouling nearly as much so that’s good. Generally neutral minutes is pretty much all you need from a backup center anyway.

Two and a half minutes of Brandon Johns highlights were the shot in the arm my day didn’t even know it needed.

This jumped out to me more than anything else in the article:

Over the last five games, the Wolverines have allowed… .80 points per possession with Davis off the floor.

Wow!!

DeJulius still has an eFG% of 39.4% in Big Ten play, 83rd among 92 players who have played 40% or more of their team’s minutes.

Shooting less and passing more – as he’s doing in February – is an important step in the right direction.

Yeah I saw this yeserday on 247 sports Insider site. I guess Josh will not be taking anymore visits and should be announcing shortly. One crystal ball now up to 88% for Juwan Howard. Go Blue!
