Officiating crew for Michigan at Penn State: Paul Szelc, Lewis Garrison, and Rob Riley.
For those who get excited about this kind of thing: Lewis Garrison officiated both Michigan’s losses this year. Wolverines are 1-2 when he is in the crew.

How is Watkins as a post scorer? Obviously he had a nice game against Michigan last time, but I’ve always thought he was more of a “blocks and dunks” big man than a “hook you to death” guy.
I guess the question stemming from that is can we defend him and Stevens well in a Teske foul trouble situation?

Counterpoint: Michigan is undefeated in games officiated by Paul Szelc (3-0) and Rob Riley (3-0)!

He’s not Ethan Happ or Luka Garza, but he’s OK and they will post him up. Several of his baskets in the first game were post up plays IIRC.

You definitely remember correctly. Wasn’t sure if those were aberrations or normal.
