Aday Mara - Holds down paint for Michigan Mara racked up 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 86-72 victory over Indiana. Impact Mara can be hit-or-miss offensively, but the 7-3 junior has scored a dozen or more during Michigan's current three-game winning streak, averaging 15.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists over that span. The rebounding has actually declined a bit to 5.0 rpg over his last six Big Ten games, but on the year, he still holds a narrow team lead with a 7.2 rpg season-long mark. Mara also continues to excel defensively, as he's picked up exactly three blocks in each of his last three games, and his season-long 2.7 bpg average is tops in the Big Ten.
