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.
