Indiana Hoosiers Notes
Kel’el Ware provided 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Friday’s 65-53 win over Maryland. Ware notched his third double-double of the young season as the Hoosiers took down Maryland on Friday. The 7-foot sophomore has struggled in a few outings, but overall has been a massive addition to Indiana’s program after transferring in from Oregon this offseason. Through seven games Ware is averaging 17.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 blocks on 31.7 minutes per game. Given his high utilization rate, fantasy managers should remain confident that Ware can maintain his production levels in conference play.
Michigan Wolverines Notes
Dug McDaniel ended Saturday’s 86-83 OT loss to Oregon with 33 points (12-21 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 42 minutes. McDaniel dropped a career-high 33 points on 21 shots during Saturday’s loss to Oregon, converting on 7-of-12 looks from range in the contest. The 5-foot-11 sophomore continues to lead a massive breakout campaign as a member of the Wolverines, averaging 20.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals on 36.3 minutes per game. McDaniel will look to help Michigan open conference play with a win over Indiana on Tuesday.
