Michigan's 247 posted an article i cant find anymore, but it sounds like they fell in love with him right off the bat. tbh, he and Magic are like kindred spirits. they both have some je ne sais quoi while they're on the court because theyre the ones having the most fun.

i cant remember being this invested in a player's success, but he makes you want him to win just by being who he is...kinda like Magic.

but to bring it back to empiricism, Mo faced Bamba, Jaren Jackson x2, Omari Spellman, Robert Williams last year, all on the road road or neutral, 3 in postseason play.

Mo did 18/5 with 5 total steals in those games (outlier 10/3 vs Mo Bamba after rolling his ankle with 8min to play up 14) with a 52/43/86 slash line (outlier 1-7 from deep vs MSU in B1G tourney). He scored more and shot better against those guys than he did for his season average. Michigan went 4-1.
