Michigan Basketball: 3 things to watch vs Maryland

2. How does Devante Jones follow up his fantastic performance?

Amongst one of the players that were not injured/sick against Illinois was Devante Jones, and with the limited talent surrounding him, he was able to make the best of it having a career game against a very good Illini defense.

Devante Jones finally played a fully complete game this season with no costly mistakes or pairs of turnovers, he played like a complete floor general, controlling the pace for the Wolverines.

While there were careless mistakes here and there, I will take them if Devante can consistently put up a performance like the one displayed against Illinois.

Michigan badly needs Jones to step up. I am a firm believer that if your point guard is struggling the team is going to struggle. If he’s able to control the court and make plays like previous Michigan point guards have, I cannot imagine this team continuing to struggle the way they have.
