Watch out for Moe Wagner

T

hough the story is one
you’ll want to hear again,
it’s not the story itself

that matters.
It’s the way
Moritz
Wagner tells
it — with a
smile on his
face, fighting
through
laughter,
capturing the
attention of
the five or six
teammates
within a 10-foot radius of his chair
in Michigan’s locker room.

“I crossed over Chamberlain,”

the 18-year-old German says
proudly.

Chamberlain?
Redshirt freshman forward

D.J. Wilson leans over to
clarify: “He’s talking about Wilt
Chamberlain.”

Wagner nods. “Jerry West,

too.”

It makes sense that it’s Wagner

who has changed Michigan’s team
dynamic down the stretch. This
type of unbridled enthusiasm and
energy is Wagner’s specialty.

The difference between

November and now? Wagner has
learned to bring that energy from
the locker room to the court, and
on the court, it’s shaking things
up in a big way.

Wagner’s triumph over two of

the greatest players of all time,
of course, happened months ago.
More importantly, it happened
in NBA 2K16, the video game
— a fantasy matchup pitting an
old-school squad starring The
Logo and Wilt the Stilt against

Wagner’s old German club, Alba
Berlin.

The youngest player on

Michigan’s roster this season,
Wagner is also the only player
to have a digital likeness. He
brings it up sometimes, but his
teammates aren’t impressed.

“He’s terrible,” Wilson said

of Wagner’s 2K character, even
citing his player rating. “He’s like
a 56 (out of 100).”

But this is March 10, in

the wake of Michigan’s Big
Ten Tournament win over
Northwestern, and Wagner
is playing spot minutes. He’s
still a week away from causing
painful decibel levels in a
packed NBA arena, energizing a
team and a fanbase as he leaves
hints of Mitch McGary’s 2013
Big Dance explosiveness right
and left.

But back to 2K. Wagner takes

issues with Wilson’s assessment
of his character, leading to more
stories of video-game triumphs,
then a debate: Who’s the
Wolverines’ top gun in 2K?

Wagner’s says it’s him, but

sophomore forward Kam
Chatman, entirely unaware of
the instant fame he’ll experience
the next day against Indiana, is
having none of it. Neither are
other teammates — “I beat him
eight straight times,” Wilson says
— and Wagner folds quickly.

“I’m bad,” Wagner says

sheepishly, about 10 seconds after
claiming he’s the best on the team.

Fast-forward a week, and

Wagner still isn’t experiencing a
crisis of confidence.

He’s gobbling up the basketball

and delivering an enormous put-

back dunk in Dayton to send the
Wolverines past Tulsa in a First
Four game. He’s making two
first-half appearances against
Notre Dame and scoring within
seconds of checking in both times,
bringing thousands of Michigan
fans at the Barclays Center to
their feet. He’s dribbling the ball
between his legs and taking the
ball to the rack with the shot
clock winding down, only to
be whistled for a questionable
and game-changing charge call
that has the referee warning
Michigan’s bench, nearly hitting
Spike Albrecht with a technical
foul.

Charge or no, technical or

no, one thing is clear: Wagner
is the energy generator the
Wolverines lacked all season
long. Michigan assistant coach
Bacari Alexander describes it as a
“youthful exuberance,” but lately,
it seems to be more than just that.
Accompanying the exuberance,
the happiness and the happy-go-
lucky locker-room mentality is an
underlying intensity that didn’t
show until the season’s final
weeks.

It’s there now, for the whole

basketball world to see. Wagner
is still raw, still developing, still
growing into a 6-foot-11 frame
that will be a sight to behold once
he fills it out. Wagner arrived
in Ann Arbor at 211 pounds, but
quickly jumped to 228 after just
a few months of weight training
and American food.

With a full summer ahead

of him and a love for Chipotle
long since revealed, it’s easy to
imagine Wagner undergoing a
massive physical transformation

this summer. Wilson, Wagner
and sophomore forward Ricky
Doyle all emerged from Michigan
strength coach Jon Sanderson’s
famed boot camp with double-
digit weight gains, and Wagner’s
frame is still the one with the
most space for added weight and
muscle.

Regardless of size, Wagner is a

player who’s capable of changing
games in a moment.

“He came (to Ann Arbor) in

July,” said Michigan coach John
Beilein after the Tulsa game.
“He’s from Germany. He’s still
only 18 years old today. So he’s

been away from home a long time,
and he’s done well. He brings me
energy every day. He’s a terrific
kid.”

Wagner’s nature has never

been in question. He’s a favorite
of teammates, fans and the media
alike, and when he steps on the
court, he’s impossible to miss.

Beilein’s early-season warning

rang true — there will be times
when Wagner appears lost on
the court and there will be
times when Wagner drops jaws,
like he did with a thunderous
step-across dunk at North
Carolina State in December or a

surprise, unsanctioned 3-pointer
against Indiana in the Big Ten
Tournament.

With a season of American

college hoops under his belt and
likely a shape-shifting offseason
ahead, watch out for more of Moe.
The awkward moments aren’t
quite gone yet, but if Michigan is
lucky enough to hold onto Wagner
for the duration of his eligibility,
he’ll be dropping jaws around Ann
Arbor for years to come.

Motte, Compher,
Connor replicate
1994 ‘Hobey’ feat

By KEVIN SANTO

Daily Sports Writer

The Michigan hockey team’s

first line has been making
headlines for a while now. And
on March 16, it made another.

Last
Wednesday,
the
top

10
finalists
for
the
Hobey

Baker Memorial Award were
announced

and
it’s
no

surprise that Kyle Connor, JT
Compher and Tyler Motte were
among them.

The trio has set the Big Ten

ablaze this season, with Connor
leading the nation in goals
and points, and Compher first
nationally
in
assists.
Motte

has been exceptional himself,
trailing Connor’s scoring total
by just four goals.

The announcement marked

just the third time since the
award’s inception in 1981 that
three players from the same
team broke the top 10, fitting for
a line that has been so dominant.

The last year it happened was

1994, when Michigan assistant
coaches Brian Wiseman and
Steve Shields donned the maize
and blue sweater with fellow
nominee David Oliver.

Though
Connor,
Compher

and Motte have largely pushed
the award to the backs of their
minds,
having
their
names

written below their coaches’
in the history book is still
something they can appreciate.

“(Being grouped with) the

three guys, it’s just an honor,”
Compher said. “It’s not the goal
of our team, and that’s to win
NCAA games and make the
Frozen Four. (But) we thought
about it for a couple minutes,
congratulated each other. We
had practice that day and it was
back to normal.”

The
original
Michigan

trio
was
nothing
short
of

phenomenal in 1994 on the
way to the NCAA Tournament
quarterfinals. Wiseman led the
Wolverines in scoring with 69
points, Oliver scored 28 goals
with 40 assists and Shields held

a 2.66 goals-against average.

On top of the individual

achievement,
they
were

freshmen
when
Michigan’s

streak of 22 consecutive NCAA
Tournament
appearances

began.

Now, the current top line has

a chance to jumpstart to a new
streak, and one of them may
have the opportunity to take
home one trophy that Wiseman,
Shields and Oliver couldn’t.
But to do so may be even more
difficult than usual with all
three in contention.

Back in 1994, none of the

Wolverines
won
the
Hobey

Baker. In retrospect, Shields and
Wiseman agreed that the three
of them making the top 10 might
have hurt Oliver’s chances.

“He was Player of the Year in

the CCHA that year,” Wiseman
said. “He was a dominant player,
a dominant goal scorer. If David
Oliver was the only one, I think
the outcome might be different.”

Added
Shields:
“(My

nomination) was probably based
on my career, but David Oliver
had the best year of any college
player. I don’t know how the
voting gets split or whatever,
but the guy who won — and no
disrespect to him — but David
Oliver was the best player in
the country. It was too bad for
David, but Wiseman was the
other best player in the country,
and I was (just) happy to be on
the list.”

Their experience in 1994

raises the question if history
will repeat itself.

After
being
put
together

in early December, the trio,
now dubbed the “CCM line,”
has wrought havoc on the
Big Ten. Entering the NCAA
Tournament, Connor, Compher
and Motte are first, second,
and fourth in points nationally,
respectively.

Even with numbers that could

make the award committee
do double takes, 1994 may be
evidence:
two
is
company,

three’s a crowd.
