Show Notes
Michigans mens basketball team, led by standout center Aday Mara, has made a strong case for the nations top defense this season. Mara, a seven-foot-three center who transferred from UCLA, earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors and leads the conference in blocks per game. He tops the Big Ten in defensive win shares, box plus-minus, rating, and block rate, and his presence on the floor significantly improves Michigans defensive efficiency. The Wolverines, who rank second nationally in field-goal percentage allowed and first in effective field-goal percentage allowed, have held firm against a tough schedule and are set to compete in the conference tournament quarterfinals Friday at 11 a.m. Eastern Time.
