A crazy — albeit early-season — stat on Michigan junior center Aday Mara.

In defensive rating through two games, Michigan is 20.5 points per 100 possessions better with Aday Mara on the floor versus when he’s on the bench.

Michigan is blocking 20.6 percent of opponents’ two-point field goals when he’s on the floor versus 8 percent when he’s off.

A look at Wake Forest’s shot zone chart from the 85-84 Michigan win over the Demon Deacons Tuesday night in Detroit.

Michigan can definitely live with this. Rim protection from Aday Mara was incredible, and Wolverines forced Wake into a lot of tough twos. https://t.co/03zzezMEMN pic.twitter.com/YgFhjKRQ2s

Quote Of The Day

“Probably ‘Killa,’ Jaishawn. We call Jaishawn ‘Killa’ for a reason, because he’s trying to kill people. He hits hard, he hits physical. I mean, if you put on the film, he’s definitely a violent, violent player, so I’d probably say ‘Killa.’”
— Michigan EDGE coach Pernell McPhee on who the most violent defender on the team is, naming Jaishawn Barham
