Michigan suffered a heartbreaking loss to Indiana, dropping to 0-1 in Big Ten play. While the Wolverines had strong performances from Olivier Nkamhoua, Terrance Williams II, and Will Tschetter, there were some key takeaways from the game.
One notable takeaway was the struggle of Tarris Reed Jr. Last season, Reed showed promising potential as a freshman, but this season he has yet to show much improvement. His scoring average has increased, but his efficiency has declined, and he appeared less comfortable on the court. Reed finished the game with just five points and four turnovers in limited playing time. If he can find his form soon, it could greatly impact Michigan's success.
On the other hand, Will Tschetter has emerged as an unexpected contributor. Despite being a relatively low-rated recruit, Tschetter has steadily improved and showcased his skills against Indiana. He scored 17 points in the game, providing a spark for the team and exciting the crowd with every basket.
Overall, Michigan's loss to Indiana raised questions about Reed's performance and highlighted Tschetter's emergence as a key player. As the season progresses, the Wolverines will need both players to step up if they want to compete in the Big Ten.
