Former Michigan guard Franz Wagner and former U-M forward Moritz Wagner have helped Germany reach its first ever FIBA World Cup final, after the team knocked off the United States, 113-111, in upset fashion. Germany will take on Serbia Sunday at 8:40 a.m. ET.

In the semifinal game, Franz put up 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Meanwhile, Moritz posted 10 points and 2 assists.

Former Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson had a fantastic rookie season, leading all first-year players with 9.5 sacks. He started his second professional campaign off with a bang, notching 7 pressures — including 5 on third / fourth downs — in a 21-20 Detroit Lions win over the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night to open up the 2023 NFL season.

Quote Of The Day

“Oh, it’s difficult, because honestly, you don’t really see that too much in the Big Ten. Because every team is dynamic, they could run and pass the ball. But TCU played the same way. There was about eight, nine people in the box every single time. But I’m kind of happy that that happened. Because as a ball carrier, and as a skill player, it’s like, ‘How can I adjust from that?’ Something’s not working, or something’s not there for me, what can I do better for myself? Instead of like, there being small holes, and like you hit or big holes that I can hit, what can I do personally, or other ball carriers that’s carrying the ball as running backs, what can we do better? And that’s why I’m very grateful from the game, to see what can we do when there’s nothing that we can do.”
