Robbie Avila - End of outstanding career Avila finished Saturday's 95-72 loss to Michigan with nine points (3-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), one rebound and five assists across 30 minutes.

Impact Avila will finish his collegiate career 10 points shy of the 2,000-point milestone after four seasons averaging double-digit scoring and 4-plus rebounds per contest. He may be remembered most for the rec specs and the nicknames, but Avila had also been a reliable fantasy producer in formats that featured him during two seasons at Indiana State and two more at Saint Louis.

Aday Mara - Stellar start to Big Dance Mara racked up 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, four blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 95-72 victory over Saint Louis.

Impact Mara is off to an incredible start to the NCAA Tournament, averaging 17.5 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 5.5 apg and 3.5 bpg across just 23.5 minutes in the first two games. Michigan will face its first high-major opponent in the Sweet Sixteen next week, but nobody in the Dance is as hot, or offering the level of multi-category production, as Mara has been early on.

Yaxel Lendeborg - 25 as Michigan advances Lendeborg had 25 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes during Saturday's 95-72 win over Saint Louis.

Impact Lendeborg had just nine points in the NCAA Tournament opener against Howard in which Dusty May went deeper into his bench, but he bounced back Saturday with a five-game scoring high. All five Michigan starters reached double figures in this Round of 32 matchup, but Lendeborg led the way with clutch second-half shooting that helped the Wolverines pull away. Michigan will next play the winner of Sunday's matchup between Texas Tech and Alabama in the Sweet Sixteen.
