He was game.blogs. forced to throw in michigandaily. the skinny, 6-foot- cow 10 Puls against the top-ranked Huskies because the two Michigan junior forwards, Zack Gibson and DeShawn Sims, had already picked up two fouls apiece. It was the first time Puls played anything other than gar- bage minutes all year. "I was ready to go," Puls said after the game. "I knew Zack and Peedi (Sims) had a couple fouls on them. I thought we might need me to come off the bench and put in a few minutes." Puls is just one of three Mich- igan players taller than 6-foot-7. Connecticut has seven. Puls's assignment was to box out Connecticut's mam- moth 7-foot-3 center, Hasheem Thabeet, prompting his team- mates to yell, "Get 'em, E." Puls stood his own and wasn't pushed around, and even recorded a block in the game. And Puls wasn't the only Wol- verine to play because of foul trouble. Despite Beilein's insis- tence that he wants to play just an eight-manlineup, every player except sophomore guard Kelvin Grady saw the floor Saturday. "One through 14, everyone's ready," fifth-year senior guard David Merritt said. "If (Beilein) calls our namve, we're going. If he doesn't call our name, we're cheering on our teammates." Foul trouble not only forced Beilein to use his bench, but it also allowed the Huskies to rack up easy points from the line. Connecticut was 19-of-25 from the charity strip while the Wolverines were just 8-of-12. "It's tough because they're get- ting free shots at the basket and no time is going off," fifth-year senior guard C.J. Lee said. "Give theta credit. They were making it tough on defense. " Many of Michigan's fouls came from increased physical toughness on defense. The Wolverines run a four-guard system and gave up a lot of size to the Huskies. Smallerplay- ers picked up fouls trying to stop the bigger opponents. "We weren't going to be out- toughed," Lee said. "We were prob- ably going to be out-athleticized today. We weren't going to be out- scrapped for rebounds." The players will need that same mantrafor tonight's contest against No. 9 Michigan State. The Spartans' fast-paced tempo is similar to Connecticut's, and they have a roster with seven play- ers that are 6-foot-8 or taller.
