The Michigan Wolverines put on an absolute offensive clinic in the first half of their Sweet 16 game against Texas A&M. Michigan went into halftime with a 52-28 lead and honestly, the margin felt like it should have been larger than that.
The first half went like this:
- Michigan went 10-of-16 from deep
- Shot 57% from the field
- Averaged 1.53 points per possession
- Only had one turnover, while Texas A&M had 10
Mo Wagner was also a huge part of the Wolverine’s monster game, scoring 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and hitting three three-pointers of his own. He also dominated inside with plays like this.
Texas A&M tried both a zone and a man-to-man look and neither were able to stop the Wolverines. Typically, Texas A&M is known for defending extremely well in the post, but they have had no answer for this hot shooting Michigan team.
Michigan knows that Texas A&M has a size advantage and they made the most of it by making them chase them around the perimeter. It worked to near perfection in the first half and carried through to a Sweet 16 victory.
