Michigan Basketball: 3 keys for Wolverines to beat Indiana

3. Keep Wagner Rolling

In the Wolverines win against Iowa, Franz Wagner had arguably his best game of the year. He was key early in the second half when he scored eight quick points that helped Michigan stretch the lead and effectively put away the Hawkeyes.

Wagner has had his share of down games this year, but he has shown the ability to take over a game and he showed that at times against Iowa. When Wagner is playing at this level the Wolverines are nearly impossible to beat.

Indiana does not match up well with the Wolverines and especially Wagner. Michigan needs to take advantage of that and continue to let Wagner do what he does best.

Take the ball off the dribble and get to the lane. He is great at finishing at the rim and has a knack for getting those shots.

Michigan will still get the ball to Dickinson down low and he will get his, but keeping Wagner playing at a high level is key. If he can continue his play to the level of the Iowa game, it will be a long night for the Hoosiers.
