3-point shooting is still a big key for Michigan

There is no question that Nebraska left Michigan open for a lot of 3-pointers, but the way the Wolverines created those attempts and took advantage of them was impressive.

Michigan basketball was determined to take advantage of its size down low and fed the ball to Teske, something it didn’t do against Michigan State. Obviously, trying to bully the Spartans defense is different than Nebraska but that was a good sign.

It was an even better sign when all of those 3-point shots started to go in. Teske, who has been up-and-down as a shooter recently, made all three of his attempts from beyond the arc. Jordan Poole only attempted three and made one, but he was controlled. He wasn’t taking wild shots.

The fact that Brazdeikis was so hot from downtown was a good sign. If Matthews is injured or ineffective, he is the guy that needs to pick up the slack and if he hit a freshman wall at some point — he’s past it now.
