Aday Mara, a future NBA player, helped Michigan reach the Sweet 16 after a strong performance in a 95-72 win against Saint Louis. The game was won in the paint by Robbie Avila, a college basketball player. Mara, who is seven-foot-three and has the ability to make defenders look silly, can also turn a complicated basketball game into a simple one. He has been a standout player for Michigan this season, particularly in recent games against Gonzaga and Billikens. His transfer to Ann Arbor was facilitated by Dusty May's ability to scout and develop players quickly.
