Michigan vs. LSU: 2021 NCAA tournament 2nd round | FULL GAME

the madness continues from indianapolis a spot in the sweet 16 is on the line at lucas oil stadium the top seed in the east michigan ready to roll against lsu a look at the bracket in the east the winner of this one will see either colorado or florida state in the next round and hi everyone with former villanova head coach steve lapis i'm andrew catalan aj ross will join us coming up lsu's darius days said you better get some extra popcorn ready he thinks it's going to be a good one what do you like about this matchup well there's a big contrast lsu is ninth in the nation in scoring they're playing a team that's 15 to defensive field goal percentage the question for michigan is it's much easier to guard lsu in the half court then in transition can they slow them down john howard the big ten coach of the year he came out of the locker room aggressively banging his chest he is fired up for this one as we take a look at the starting lineups for both teams and for lsu you got to keep an eye on cameron thomas fourth in the country in scoring averaging just under 23 points per game and will wade in his fourth season at lsu and we spoke with him this morning and steve the big question for lsu how are they going to slow down the big man hunter dickinson well they've got a pretty good plan on how they're going to do it the other question is who is hunter think it's he going to guard on lsu that's what i want to see on this first possession our officials tonight jeff anderson pat driscoll who's reffing his 21st ncaa tournament and rob riley and we are underway at lucas oil stadium well i kind of thought so that they were not going to put watford on hunter dickinson and they did not they put days on him to start now they do switch a lot like they did right there both teams primarily man them in they'll sprinkle in some zone here and there you saw the double right away darius dave's got a hand on that one shot clock at eight for michigan coming off a win over texas southern in the opening round brandon johns first shot is good that's a big shot for him because he's taking isaiah liver's place now nobody can really take isaiah liver's place he's the second best player maybe the best player on the michigan team he's out right now with that stress fracture so that was a big play for johns jr he had 11 against texas southern on saturday that tied a season high big opportunity for johns with livers out indefinitely first lsu shot is no good by javonte smart but an offensive rebound and i kind of thought that hunter dickenson would guard their worst three-point shooter he's not their worst three-point shooter that's darius day is 40 on the season he hit three in the opening round win over saint bonaventure i mean that kid came into this game with 51 threes hunter dickinson was guarding hyatt hyatt is the worst three-point he's the only guy on the lsu team that is not a good three-point shooter i think that's a good move by juwan howard john's left open his three won't go on the weak shot rebound to watford and that's one thing that makes lsu dangerous is that watford can get a rebound and do that and then he flexes after he goes coast to coast when you don't have to outlet the ball to somebody you get a rebound whoever gets a rebound realist you can go except maybe andre hyatt that's what makes them so cult in transition and then a turnover by michigan wolverines a one seed for the first time since 1993 when juwan howard was on that team won the big ten regular season title for the first time in seven years but lost three of five entering the ncaa tournament free ball for cam thomas is good these guys will shoot quick they're one of the fastest playing teams in the country that's not how michigan wants to play this game their tempo is about 275 out of 350 division one teams eight straight points for lsu mike smith blocked from behind it was thomas who got a hand on it days already has won three and now lsu will set it up michigan we talked about a very good defensive team but not nearly as good in transition that was not good defense days is three no good and hunter dickinson is there for the rebound and juwan howard is in let's get going up and down the floor here's dickinson brooks is fouled smith obviously only about 5 10 5 11 there's a big size difference between him and the lsu guards in this game limited capacity here at lucas oil stadium but there are a lot of michigan fans ann arbor is only about a four hour drive as john's drives in and flushes it down i mean can you get an easier basket than that driving from the deep wing to the basket a guy like john that's not even his thing that was not good defense watford on the attack had it knocked away by wagner but it will stay with lsu i mean you're going to see john's come to the basket here where's the help what's days doing number four he just doesn't step in and take a charge does it wave at him does it do anything well and certainly that's been the knock on lsu this year we know they can score ninth in the country with 81 points per game but they've had trouble but this guy got this guy you can win a lot of track meets cam thomas again and you know what it is andrew it's not that they can't play divas they've had a lot of really good defensive teams just that it's kind of you don't know what you're getting from game to game on the defensive end they're capable dickenson calling for it he's got it turn around with the left hand and that is what juwan howard wants to see a lot of on that baseline the left baseline they must take away the right shoulder so the primary defender needs to get to the baseline and get help from the middle of the floor dickens in the big 10 freshman of the year also first team all big 10. watford thought about a three drives on botner good defense by wagner and lsu will send it back out with six to shoot thomas in the range gym fires a three and it's good again you know i look at the stats and i see he's a 32 percent three-point shooter the only reason he's a 32 percent three-point shooter is because he takes some questionable shots at time if this guy takes all good shots he's a 40 3-point shooter without a doubt he's scored the last eight points for lsu brooks left alone trying to answer off the front of the rim and the rebound is smart with wagner back rolls around and out and it is michigan basketball but what a start for lsu and their freshman cam thomas he already has eight points and the tigers have an early lead lsu up by seven as we say hello to aj ross well andrew lsu coach will wade told me he's leaning more on the leadership of his players and it's a collaborative approach that's really been paying off big between javonte smart darius days and trend in watford they're a part of a leadership group that has been meeting with wade at least once a week giving their input on practice on film on upcoming opponents wade says it's an open dialogue a new dynamic that's really led to this team taking more initiative both on and off the floor and aj as you point out javonte smart part of that leadership council he already has three assists tonight only had one in saturday's opening round win over saint bonaventure well that time lsu brought some pressure and franz wagner is a really good player in the middle of the floor 6-9 he's second on the team in assists so he's a great guy handling the ball against that pressure in the middle darius days called for the foul and you can scan this code to watch live games on your computer phone tablet or streaming device with ncaa march madness live watch now at ncaa.com march madness or download the app today interesting michigan going into a little bit of pressure they need to slow this deep down a little bit right now maybe do something just to throw off their rhythm a little bit that's why they put that pressure on hyatt for three not his specialty he's only made 10 all year and that's what they're gonna test that's why they have hunter dickinson guarding him he is the weakest three-point shooter on the lsu team even though he's only six five that's who tickets in his garden mike smith the transfer from columbia said he was nervous to play in his first ncaa tournament game on saturday and juan howard said that's good that's healthy we want guys to feel that adrenaline before a game smith for three it won't go offensive rebound john's putback isn't there and thomas comes away with it you know it's interesting we're going to see what mike smith does he's a 42 percent three-point shooter but he's shooting over some guys much taller than him and now you see cam thomas has smith on and he goes over him for two more and thomas already in double figures with 10. and that's mike smith's a good player i mean he averaged 23 points a game at columbia he went from a mid he went from a mid major scorer to a big time game manager but shooting in this game might be a little tough thomas has scored the last 10 for the tigers brooks for three it's good for eli brooks and he comes in hot from deep last three games shooting 50 from beyond the arc yeah he's 40 for the year he's a good shooter now you see michigan early on going to the 2-3 zone trying to stop lsu from using the dribble that's too open deep for thomas not this time long rebound and smith comes away with it races in and scoops it in for two great change of defenses by juwan howard let's see them stop going off the dribble and make them make passes and look for jump shots he's got your old buddy phil martelly on the bench next to him associate head coach five man i've only known him for 40 years a heck of a coach here's too short on the shot the tip not there either and john's who's been active early with another rebound smith steps into a three and days goes up to get it various days finished third in the sec and rebounding with eight per game thomas nearly lost it you know lsu is kind of a different team they're a tremendous offensive rebounding team and a very weak defensive rebound but this guy how do you stop this i fade away off one foot he's got 12. michigan has 12. 12 in a row for cam thomas you know they may have to start running at him a little bit maybe with somebody else get the ball out of his hands might be a little early for that but they got to think about it bogner's three no good and a rebound brought down by watford michigan has started one for six from deep watford the other way for two by the way that guy's six nine who just did that in transition crossover to the basket and jawan howard is not happy calling a timeout here with 12 13 to go in the first half what an energetic start for lsu and they have the early lead on top seeded michigan chin from around the tournament find your community by following your teams fan easier fan faster fan better download the bleacher report app today well michigan has 12 points on five field goals and thomas has 12 points on five field goals boy he's come out of the gate top but he hasn't made really easy shots he's made two threes he's shooting over people he gets him in transition gets him in the half court he's just a born scorer i like what juwan howard is trying to do he's trying to slow this game down when you like to play through a big guy you got to make the game more half court or he's not involved in the game that's what he's trying to do that time lsu with a little pressure of their own shaun dee brown and austin davis have entered for the first time tonight for the wolverines here's brooks cutting into the corner he locates brown who knocks it down great job of penetrating into the lane and kicking when the help came in and here's michigan sticking with that zone a little bit brown did not score in 16 minutes against texas southern it's his first attempt tonight and you know andrew just to put this zone in perspective they only do it about seven percent of the time they rarely do it this early in the game here's thomas step back now puts it up and that time he's short and out of bounds was leblanc it takes us to a timeout will wade and the tigers up by five on cbs we're back with a look at our tournament summary how about the west coast earlier today on cbs gonzaga advancing to the sweet 16 and the pac-12 still undefeated oregon also advancing earlier today and ucla just won meanwhile what about the big ten steve lapis there's only two teams left michigan and maryland who plays later tonight you know is there something to be said for them beating each other up all year i mean that league was a gauntlet every night you got to start thinking that maybe it's too much sometimes in the last five times there was an ncaa tournament so not including last year the two finalists in the big ten tournament only one of the ten teams has made it to the elite eight that was michigan when they went to the championship game in 18. but you know one thing that we see in this game and we had ucla the other night michigan is a great team i'm not saying they're not and they have great players but this team is more athletic than michigan and i think ucla was more athletic not better who knows we'll see in the end but more athletic dickinson remains on the bench for michigan austin davis is manning the middle [Applause] watford back out to smart he drives into the paint and connects you know that's the thing that you don't want to give when you're in that kind of defense is drives up the middle make them shoot contested jump shots so on saturday lsu had four points in the first nine minutes against the bodies different story here tonight as brooks hits another jumper well this pace is so different than the saint bonaventure game now they changed up they're a little bit more of a 3-2 type defense now they go man-to-man so they're showing zone and going man trying to fool them a little bit get him to stand around lobner up ahead brooks he's been in a good rhythm here in the first half back to wagner his shots rejected watford got a hand on it [Applause] you know even with austin davis in the who could score in a low post that was a good defense there and a three by javonte smart [Applause] these guys in transition are lethal a lot of playmakers and now they're in this pressure here which can be tough also but again they want to make it so they only have to guard michigan for 17 seconds not for 22 seconds smart has scored the last five for lsu and the one place andrew i think michigan has an advantage is in the paint and they have not thrown the ball inside now austin davis gets it there good pass shot clock's gonna run out michigan didn't get it off in time that's their second turnover lsu still yet to cough it up get nonstop march madness news picks and highlights from every game on cbs sports hq free 24 7 sports news network download the cbs sports app to watch today now they're going back to the straight man to man michigan you know i like that austin davis looked opposite but they that when he threw it opposite that's the guy who should have shot it right away with the shot clock running down [Applause] uh-oh this is not good davis on watford davis over i mean watford over davis but it's not there and dave is clear did a good job staying with him that time brooks for three you bet eli brooks carrying michigan early he's got eight points [Applause] eight and a half to go in the first smith on javonte smart got to keep an eye on that smart 6'5 thomas comes to get it defended by brown thomas over brownies fouled on the three cam thomas who leads the country in free throws made will go to the line for three shots you definitely don't want to follow the guy who's shooting from the logo i don't care who he is you got to be very careful there i don't know about that [Music] 87 on the year best in the sec from the free throw line first round coverage of the ncaa division one women's basketball championship continues tonight on espn espn2 and espnu for more info on game times and listings go to ncaa.com so cam thomas has now made has now been to the line no excuse me he's now made 189 free throws on the year which has a long way to go to get to the school record set by pete maravich when he made 337 during the 69-70 season and the long time vermont head coach tom brennan who played at georgia tells a great story that he was defending maravich and he thought he took a charge the ref called a block on brennan he got up and said what do you mean block he was hey kid these guys didn't come here to see you play it came here to see him play and in those days the refs lived in baton rouge that we're doing those games believe me eight point lsu advantage but you know the perspective cam thomas is number six in the nation in free throws per game that's a good move but hey you know what you can see lsu in the half court defensively i mean michigan can if they're settled down they can get what they want brown has four points off the bench for the wolverines here's watford left open but he cannot connect and dickinson back on the floor with the rebound [Applause] brooks into the corner and now smith had it knocked away a turnover by michigan two on one days handles the tough bass and lays it in with a foul what a feed from andre hyatt yeah that wasn't really a great pass days did a great job reeling that thing in but i tell you what these lsu tigers when it comes to getting up and down not many better [Music] 29-21 back at lucas oil stadium a look at our game summary and cam thomas already has 15 points it's the 19th straight game he scored at least 15 longest active streak in the nation steve when you teach man-to-man defense you teach here's the line of the ball andre hyatt instead of being out here he's down here where he's in a position to be able to give good health the drive comes he's in a perfect spot to help he throws i'll tell you what what a great pass it was a heck of a i don't know what you want to say reception by days there and finish no doubt about it but the defense is really being that great position is what made that fast break happen marvin harrison reggie wayne have all made some great catches here in indianapolis that you can add that one to the list it was a courageous pass i'll say that as lsu has opened up its biggest lead of the night brown steps into a three and he connects shaun dee brown off the bench has provided a spark he's got seven i know michigan is making shots and that's huge but i think lsu is happy that hunter dickinson is not really involved in this game that much thomas not that time and brooks with a long rebound jawan howard is saying let's go dickenson has it inside and he muscles his way for two and the foul and jalon howard yelling on that michigan bench all sorts of energy and hunter dickinson is as good opposed to player but he's always going to that right shoulder he's left-handed so if and plus if you're darius days and you play behind him and your feet are in the restricted area you are in deep trouble he's also in deep trouble because he just picked up his second foul and darius if you're that small you got to get in front of him and hope somebody helps you if they lob dickinson completes the three-point play six consecutive points for the wolverines watford and he stops the run boy he's got a great touch in the lane he's one of the national leaders in shooting floaters you don't see six nine guys shoot floaters like that it's usually guards all sec second team selection trending watford the sophomore out of birmingham alabama [Applause] here's [Applause] williams not only a great pass but a great dive by terence williams to the smart is fouled and he will shoot two when you take a look here you're going to take a look at terence williams he doesn't just stand there the ball goes in the post area to hunter dickinson and instead of just standing he decides he's gonna die now that's a guy who's only made one three all year so why stand out there wait for the ball dive michigan has made its last five shots delicious coca-cola vanilla vanilla is hard to describe but in a good way steve i'd say the rebounding battle is pretty important tonight lsu has not lost when they've outrebounded their opponent they're 12-0 michigan is not lost when they out rebound the opponent they're 20-0 and so far tonight it's even at 11 on the glass thomas has 17 points i mean that was a bad spot where terence williams got caught with the ball at half court he had nowhere to go in the double k when he lost it another three for brown won't go the tip is there williams with two more off the bench for michigan quickly the other way smart nowhere close yeah it's interesting that you know lsu is so good on the offensive glass and they're so bad on the defensive glass i mean they're really one of the worst in the nation when it comes to defensive rebound [Applause] lsu allows eight points per game on putbacks we saw one right there that's one of the worst numbers in the country in terms of defense on putbacks and that's an area where michigan is going to hope to continue to attack as brooks finds an opening and his three banked in what a start for eli brooks you know it's always great against pressure to get the ball up and then reverse it quickly like they did there now granted that shot was a little lucky no doubt about it but they did reverse it to the other side of the floor he had 11 in the opening round already 11 tonight smart from the free-throw line with the answer [Applause] i'll tell you an amazing statistic they are number two in the nation in floater scoring they all have that floater in their game baroque spouses at baseline oh nice move by wagner and this is end to end good stuff on cbs two-point game as we approach four minutes left in the first half yeah they really do need to get banner more involved in this game too watford connects again again with that little floater lsu is shooting 51 michigan at 60 percent dickenson back to brooks [Applause] shot clock at six brooks drives in gets the bounce well eli brooks is showing it all to us tonight his season high is 17 points he has 13 in the first half and you know what i like about what dickinson is doing he knows they're going to aggressively double team so he's getting the ball out of the post relatively quickly when he has to and a foul committed by wagner and that takes us to a timeout with 3 22 to go catcher barrett juwan howard and will wade their teams locked into a good one here in the first half all right adam thank you very much you see the bracket ucla awaits the winner between maryland and alabama how about this game in the offensive efficiency so far lsu still yet to turn it over meanwhile michigan has 13 assists on 16 field goals steve yeah i mean these guys when it comes to offense they are really playing how about javonte smart nine point great out of bounds play there nine points five assists obviously no turnovers good defense there by hunter dickinson he blocks it and now mike smith brings the ball up the floor play set up to get 100 tickets in the body and the help comes from the baseline side on that block three really good execution by will weights d three on two the other way and the three for gains is no good and the rebound is grabbed by wagner mike smith will slow things down from michigan pre-season number six in the big ten poll and they won it for the first time in seven years dickinson blocked watford got a hand on it smart will take that three halfway down and out in the rebound to wagner once again jaron howard telling his team let's get up and down the floor john's cuts and is fouled off the feed from franz wagner really good defense that last play on hold they see he's on the top side so the help comes from the baseline side giovante smart really smart player saw how hunter dickinson was being played and the help came from the baseline really good so far dickinson with five points three rebounds in one turnover as john's who's at the free-throw line and he misses the first after the foul on josh leblanc coming up 18 t at the half scores and highlights in the latest ncaa men's tournament news it's all coming up on 18t at the half one out of two for brandon johns the junior from east lansing michigan moved into the lineup when isaiah livers went down and over the last two years with livers michigan 34 and 10 without them just six and six thomas is slotted john's coming over to help [Applause] yeah really good health by johns jr that time seeing that his man might need some because of who he's guarding and comes over and gets a piece of it [Applause] lsu has cooled off just a little bit they've missed their last four shots with two minutes to go in the opening head hunted dickenson on watford off the dribble watford not that time dickens in the rebound and he's fouled on the rebound by leblanc that's his second [Applause] you know normally andrew michigan holds people to 65 a game that's the average i think they're going to be hard pressed to keep these guys under 65. they have done a better job on thomas just two points in the last six and a half minutes contact to the ground no call in the corner brown a three no and a whistle [Music] and a foul committed by michigan boy they're really paying a ton of attention on hunter dickinson and that's why shaun d brown was open andre hyatt was hanging around the lane trying to give a little help in there and then they skipped it across and he had to recover but charlie brown got off a good shot it was contested michigan on a 10-4 run it's down to one as brown was the one who committed the wolverine foul at the reps and then a foul called on shandy brown [Applause] well sean d brown working really hard trying to keep the ball out of camp thomas's hands hey he if he can't get it he can't score it that's just good hustle by sean d brown and that's his that's his third foul so brown who had provided a nice little boost off the bench we'll head back there with three fouls and he's their best perimeter defender which is a big reason why he was in there to and play cam assist to the referee lsu still has not turned it over that shot won't go for thomas who's definitely cooled off a little bit here as we approach one minute to play bogner on the attack again found [Applause] taking it in transition the defense is not set that's a good time to attack him wagner a little shaken up out near midcourt getting himself situated and now ready to attempt the free throws michigan led the big ten in free throw percentage and three-point percentage one of only five teams in the country to lead their conference in both of those categories [Applause] now's the perfect time to catch up on clarice before the next secret unfolds stream for free on the cbs app or subscribe for more on paramount plus new episodes of clarisse return thursday april 1st on cbs [Applause] [Music] this michigan team has gotten lsu to settle down a little bit in this game in the last five six minutes scoreless in the last three minutes and 20 seconds spark trying to change that he can not off the glass of scramble smart gets it back shot clock does not reset thomas drives and he is blocked ball still loose and now we have a foul michigan doing the dirty work on defense michigan starting to get a little bit more physical in this game which is good for them because they have the physicality over this very athletic lsu team [Applause] first foul on thomas and that is the seventh team foul against the tigers so cam thomas started five for six but since then he is one for his last six from the floor i think sean d brown did a great job on him unfortunately he got three fouls and they were trying to deny him touches they made him work much harder to just get the ball in his hands then early on in this game bobner makes the front end of the one-and-one michigan has its first lead since it was two nothing with cotner's parents in the house here at lucas oil stadium they cheered for a lot of michigan games his brother moe was a pretty good player too on that final 14 couple of years back and now with washington in the nba six second difference between the game clock and the shot clock here for lsu days back in with two fouls days off class too strong and a foul called on watford sending dickenson to the ground and the momentum on michigan's side right now all of a sudden in the half court lsu starting to struggle if the game doesn't go up and down it's a big difference for lsu this game started out at a crazy pace now is settled down they've got a score and a half court [Music] and steve earlier in the half who said it was even on the glass now michigan plus four on the glass they're starting to establish themselves a little bit more down low as dickenson makes the front one front end of the one and one i mean that's one of lsu's weaknesses they really don't have to be trendy watford is kind of like a 4-3 they don't really have a big guy he's their biggest guy and he's not [Applause] and will wade had to use it or losing timeout he'll use it with 12.5 to play juan howard's team getting to the free throw line in the last two minutes eight free throw attempts and they now lead it by three 12 seconds left in the first half [Applause] you know who's taking this one thomas with five thomas step back open and he knocks it down and that is how the first half will end cam thomas leading the way with 19 points for lsu and at the break the top seed in the east michigan has a one-point lead 43-42 michigan in front of lsu at the end of the first half sent you to 18t at the half after these messages you're watching the ncaa men's basketball championship back in indianapolis as we get set for this second half here's a look at the first half stats brought to you by uber eats no turnovers in that first half for lsu they had nine in the opening round win against saint bonaventure and hi again everyone with steve lapis i'm andrew catalan we'll hear from aj ross coming up there's a few times in that first half where we had to catch our breath what do you make of the pace of the first half well the bulk of the game was played at lsu's pace so you got to give michigan credit they were able to go toe-to-toe but i do think in the second half they have to establish hunter dickenson if they want to win this game he is a key guy he only took three shots in the first half and he did some good things as we talked about his lefty likes going that right shoulder turn over there then he gets it in deep here he goes to the right shoulders able to make it and then a tremendous pass here for a thug so get the ball in his hands a little bit more so that he can score down low and put pressure on that lsu defense and steve one thing we were informed at halftime is that shaun d brown of michigan was called for a flop warning in the first half not his third foul so shaun d brown a flop warning but he has two fouls as we get set to start the second half and before we do let's send it over to aj ross well andrew michigan's juwan howard told me his guys need to stay patient and let their plays develop which isn't easy to do but they must stay within themselves they threw the 2-3 at lsu trying to disrupt their tempo mix things up and he says they'll likely show some different looks in the second half as for will wade and the tigers he told us that ken temple again would be key he thought his team's ball movement and post defense in the first half were solid but he says they need to do a better job closing out all right aj we nearly had the first lsu turnover instead there's a foul on the shot by watford and hunter dickinson does not agree with that call and based on what aj got from juwon howard he feels that they need to do something about the pace in this game here i don't know i didn't see that much there but obviously they called the foul so i think juwan howard knows they got through the first half eli brooks had 13. can he expect that in the second half i don't think so not that he can't do it he needs to get hunter dickinson more involved in this game that was the first foul on dickinson he fouled out in the opening round win against texas southern first time that had happened in his collegiate career one out of two for watford here's the pressure lsu wants this game as fast as they can so they come with a little bit of more aggressive pressure than they used in the first half there's the help for dickinson he locates smith back over to wagner as michigan sets up its offense but you can see what had juwan howard told at halftime there's no question dickenson off the mark with his first shot of the second half winner goes on to the sweet 16 against either colorado or florida state but you don't see hunter thickets miss many of those shoots 61 on the season watford in tight and he misses [Applause] michigan 19-1 when leading at the half this year i mean they're letting whitford really be physical on hunter dickinson i'll tell you that smart got a hand on it brooks corrals it right back inside great defense by watford but dickinson gets it back and then a foul called on watford [Applause] that's his second boy you're going to see watford here do a good job getting over the top side wow was he inside the circle [Applause] right foot might have been great cut by hunter dickinson and he connects eight points five rebounds for the freshmen as we mentioned at the beginning there are a lot of michigan fans here in indianapolis ann arbor about a four-hour drive smart out to watford [Applause] watford muscles his way in close and a foul is called on michigan take a look at this out of bounds play and now hunter dickenson is right here watford's got his hands on his knees he's not ready to take that cut away look he's got his hands on his knees way too late look what happens that is so easy can't do that you got to be ready in your stance at all times wagner called for his second foul sends watford to the line scan this code now to watch live games on your computer phone tablet or streaming device with ncaa march madness live watch now at ncaa.com mark's madness or download the app today [Applause] one point game two minutes into the second half smith very close to the baseline able to retreat now he bounces it to dickenson there's the double out to brooks that's a long three and the rebound grabbed by smarty races up ahead smart right at smith count it in one [Applause] he is so good in transition javonte smart he's got size that is a foul on smith no doubt about it [Applause] this kid can finish in transition junior from baton rouge cousins with former indiana star keith smart he had a couple of big shots for the hoosiers there's the three-point play 11 points 12 points six rebounds five assists no turnover it's an lsu team that averages close to 12 turnovers per game but still without one i'll tell tonight i think hunter dickerson has touched the ball on every position possession of this airport give lsu credit they're really being tough on him in that low post smith's three won't go thomas has it and gets it over to watford he wants to run up the floor and he is fouled from behind by dickinson at mid-court that is a horrendous foul if you're a big guy you've got to get your fouls around the basket that's a fight 100 diggers that got fouled there that was i mean i know i i know daze was trying to box him out but that was about and this was a bad this is a horrendous foul by your seven footer that's his second and the problem is if he gets one more he's sitting and already four fouls this half for michigan the big guy should get all his fouls in the lane thomas trying to get it going here in the second half but dickinson takes it off the glass brooks races up ahead bounces to bogner lost it going up and a turnover by the wolverines that's number six on the night boy wagner really struggling in this game so far just couldn't handle it he's one of four for just six points [Applause] one of the best pick-and-roll players in the nation when he keeps the ball in his hands he scores better than anybody off the pick and roll into that floater points off turnovers 10-0 in favor of lsu wagner for three still can't get it going tipped out to smith though brooks left alone michigan cannot get one to go and speaking of go here comes smart leaves it for thomas thomas is fouled wagner commits the foul [Applause] watch smart here he got his hand hit by smith and then smart was grabbing his hand and he's still in some pain on the floor meanwhile vodka picks up his third i'm not so sure it's his hand well it could be both diamond he's up top this is a pg show [Music] and now thomas at the line after wagner's foul matter of fact i'm 100 sure it's not his hand [Applause] 20 points now for cameron thomas he's averaging just under 23 per game which is the most for a tiger since ronnie henderson had 23 back in the 94-95 season michigan struggling this half they are just one of six from the floor and you know eli brooks he had a great first half but he averages nine a game is he gonna do that again in the second half boy they could use it because he's gotten some open ones it's a six point lsu advantage you know it's early on but they are really missing isaiah livers that's one howard telling us don't really know if he's getting any better but they're not expecting him anytime soon as john's with an awkward shot and lsu has numbers the other way he's mark bounced it back to nobody and that is how lsu commits its first tournament that's amazing i'm sure will wade loves that time out with 15 42 to go the eighth seed in the east lsu on top of michigan here on cbs and you're gonna see right here michigan does not do a good job of guarding the number one pick and roll guy with the ball in his hand javonte smart now you stop right there now brunswagener here is in no man's land he's not hedging he's not helping he's not doing anything he's opening up the lane for the number one pick-and-roll guy with the ball to just score on the floater michigan with the ball five straight empty trips for the wolverines smith trying to stop that and he does mike smith from the outside [Applause] that stops an 8-0 run by lsu back on the floor that one won't go but an offensive rebound by hyatt smart for three air ball caught by dickinson [Applause] eli brokes the big first half bounces it to dickenson they work it around back into the hands of brooks his three is good that all started with the pass opposite when you're a big man you catch it on the block your first intuition should be to look the opposite side that was a hockey assist by hunter dickinson tied at 51. six points from michigan in a span of 37 seconds [Applause] around john's but it won't go but a foul is called and the michigan bench is furious take a look at this ball movement it starts out with hunter dickinson catching in the low post and looking opposite right away now the defense is in scramble mode and they can't catch up to eli brooks on that side of the floor and here's the foul called on john that's not a good goal that's why the michigan bench went nuts first foul against brandon johns and michigan now with 16 fouls so lsu will be shooting the rest of the half they shoot him pretty good 75 as a team [Applause] watford comes up empty josh leblanc and eric gaines have entered for lsu i'll tell you you got to give lsu a lot of credit because when hunter dickenson has caught the ball which he has a lot to say he hasn't been able to make a move that's what jawon howard has been working on with brandon johns trying to get him to be more confident on the floor especially now that he's in the starting role for isaiah livers well he makes a really strong move here he's facing it up then he backs his man down leblanc whistled for his third foul on april 1st no foolin the new comedy united states of al is joining the cbs thursday powerhouse comedy lineup from chuck lori executive producer of the big bang theory young sheldon and mom united states of owl thursday april 1st at 8 30 7 30 central on cbs it's an 8-0 run for michigan and cam thomas yet to hit a field goal here in the second half what's going on there well they're playing denial defense they're not letting him how many times now he's got the ball in his hands there but how many times has he touched the ball he missed that shot and leblanc had an easy look at a put back and will wait wade is very upset on the lsu bench it was a blown opportunity by leblanc you know sometimes andrew you've got to just guard a guy and not worry about helping on anybody just like the other night they were trying to go to johnny zhuzang when he was so hot for ucla sometimes you just got to deny him and don't worry about helping to worry about anything foul called on eric gaines look how close this came to going in for leblanc on the other end oh boy austin davis back on the floor as dickinson will get a breather [Applause] austin davis was going to be the start of this year till they realized how good hunter dickenson was well he started the first five games a foot injury as brown comes in for the dunk largest lead of the night from michigan [Applause] well he's really good player 16 points for the junior davis races out to set a screen for smith smith uses it goes all the way to the hoop and he can't get it to go and then davis knocks it out of bounds great pass and isaiah livers all fired up on the michigan bench juan howard telling us livers is very important to have him with the team here in indianapolis because the players listen to his voice and he thought that was an important thing to have for the next couple of weeks as thomas drives and scores first field goal of the second half for cam thomas he's got 23. he's hobbling back yeah and a travel called on michigan and thomas though you can tell he's got a little limp as he walks down the floor it will way to say we need to clean up the condensation underneath the basket that was some finish by cam thomas but michigan has done a good job on him in the half court when they're not running they're a little easier to guard cam thomas has not come out of the game tonight and he's still out there smart will launch 10 hit javonte smart from the outside the pick at the pick the screen was coming he waved him off because he had terence williams on him he said i don't think this guy can guard me and he knocks it out then a foul committed at mid-court by eric gaines it's a 7-0 run for lsu after michigan had a 10-0 run what a game here on cbs all right adam thank you very much on the right will wade's wife lauren on the left his little daughter caroline decked out in their purple for lsu which is on a 7-0 run and the tigers now lead by three still only one turnover tonight for lsu oh they have this like little 1-3-1 defense that morphs into a man-to-man when the ball gets passed into the corner in the corner is brooks again and here's what happened it didn't morph like it was supposed to not supposed to give up that open three in that defense eli is coming a season high 19 and he's tied a career high with five threes terence williams on javonte smart again smart goes out and he knocks it down the king of the floater it's amazing this team number two in the nation in floater scoring you see it right before your eyes 12 of smart's 21 points have come here in the second half eli not again oh no i mean he was feeling pretty good there i can tell you it was a heat check thomas straight away three yes [Applause] time out michigan it's a 12-3 run for lsu thomas has 26. back with our game summary and this half thomas and smart have combined for 19 points the rest of the tigers have two steve this guy smart is unbelievably talented point guard he makes threes he's got this floater like you won't see anywhere he's six four six five he's got a tremendous touch in there he makes threes as we said how about he's got eight rebounds in this game six assists 21 points and one turnover this guy can really play with our producer jonathan siegel director andy goldberg steve lapis aj ross our entire crew i'm andrew catalan thank you for joining us as we reach the midway point of the second half a good one here on cbs you know andrew this game is kind of goes back and forth between who's ahead because when it settles down michigan does well when it gets fast lsu does well and that's what happens every three four minutes it goes fast then it goes slow then it goes fast then it goes slow watford commits the foul how about this so far in the ncaa tournament cam thomas 68 minutes 53 points and one turnover that's not bad fishing brown attacks and he is fouled going up shaun dee brown over the last two games was one of seven from the floor did not score against texas southern on saturday but he's had a nice game off the bench tonight for juwan howard i think there are opportunities to drive against lsu they're not great at helping out they'd rather get on you and give you some pressure so i think driving the ball is not a bad idea brown into double figures he's got 10 points the foul was on darius days of lsu that's his third so days and watford each have three for the tigers just really think michigan needs to get this game slowed down they'll be much easier to guard these guys in the half court than in half transition 15 points from the michigan bench zero for lsu thomas that's good defense brooks was on him tight they better get ready to help [Music] thomas from the baseline too strong dickinson with the rebound numbers you make them play a little half court you got a much better chance to play good defense brown baseline and [Applause] a foul is called on lsu [Applause] looked like he was stepping out of bounds i guess they they qualify oh yeah so question wow instead hyatt is called for the foul wow and a one and one i think if the lsu bench were down that end we would have hurt him a little bit more i think you're right but maybe they've seen something now michigan that's two great straight drives in a row he did go out of bounds but two straight drives nonetheless for sean d brown the wake forest transfer has a dozen now give him 13 points one point game 9 40 to play [Applause] ron howard is telling his bench let's get going let's make some noise [Applause] wagner i think they should slow down here squeezes one to dickinson and michigan back in front that was a great pass by eli brooks [Applause] ten points nine rebounds for dickinson here's days launching his three won't go wagner again doing a good job of boxing out and tipping it over to brooks michigan riding a 6-0 run i'll throw it to the big guy brown it's a 9-0 run they need a timeout lsu [Applause] timeout tigers [Applause] riding a bike should be a really fun experience we make low maintenance bicycles for everyday riders we were coming off a great year and when the pandemic hit it just stopped we really had to think creatively teams allowed us to do what we call virtual visits hey is that tk hi how are you we're able to see two or three fold the amount of customers from all over the world without teams there's no way this would have been possible and i really think it's gonna set a standard for retail moving forward michigan has eight threes tonight the most recent one by sean d brown i know he ends up completely wide open that cam thomas gets completely lost or javante smart i mean you can't be any more open than that we've seen some wild runs in the second half a 9-2 lsu run a 10-0 michigan run lsu answered with a 12-3 run and right now michigan has scored the last nine points and i'll tell you what sean d brown has done a great job on javonte smart since he's been in the game watford is fouled shooting and again the michigan bench doesn't like the call fouls on brandon johns that's his second lsu 11 of 15 at the line tonight [Applause] after all the games are over our studio team will have all the highlights and analysis on inside march madness presented by buick later tonight only on tbs [Music] watford one out of two he's got 11 points and he'll get a breather on the bench as leblanc returns for lsu tigers trying to establish that pressure leblanc could get a hand on it smith just brings it across good job by smith taking it to the middle of the floor so he can't get trapped on the sideline that's what wade told us this morning try to pressure them so they only have to defend in the half court for about 15 20 seconds shot clock right now at six and a turnover by smith gaines leads the break the other way tough pass to thomas and all he could do is get it out to smart [Applause] that pressure really hurt michigan that time because they had hardly any type of work as you said smart step back three it is off the front of the rim bodies flying inside and a foul called on lsu that was such a good push-off two guys went down smith brown and now leblanc on his feet what a game michigan by three been a game of runs here in the second half both ways and right now the momentum on michigan's side steve the runs are all over the place but now michigan's got to go there's some great interior passes shawnee brown hunter dickenson able to score there mike smith making a couple of really good passes but this is how this game is going now you're going to see the other way lsu is going to come these two teams i'll tell you these kids today they are bawling six lead changes one and one here from michigan after leblanc picked up his fourth foul at the other end of the floor [Applause] 21-nothing in favor of michigan in terms of bench points and shaun dee brown responsible for 18 off the bench [Music] [Applause] and he's the one who's been on javonte smart and smart has been slowed up a little bit lately see the foul trouble for lsu leblanc with four watford and days with three here comes the double there's days playing with three gaines the freshman will send it back out would tend to shoot [Applause] john's defending smart smart goes inside no tipped around and brown has it [Applause] somebody's hurt now behind the play [Applause] eli brooks is slow to get up from michigan brooks with 19 points tonight including five threes and you see on the right side of your screen battling for the rebound he goes down awkwardly and he was smart there he told the ref to stop the game his team had the ball but they only had four guys and they were being pressed i thought that was really slick of eli brooks to tell the ref hey i'm hurt stop senior captain of this michigan team phil martelly the associated head coach says that eli is the team's mvp not the best player but the most important person to michigan martelly says is eli brooks i trust my man right there he has seven he has 19 points 7 of 11 from the floor [Applause] trying to stretch it out next to the michigan [Applause] and we're bench the other way wow dickinson called for the foul that's his third oh yeah that's a foul that is lsu's offense has slowed down they've missed their last five shots and they have only one point in the last four minutes thomas trying to change that drives no good [Applause] and thomas slow to join his teammates at the other end can michigan take advantage no johnson's three off the mark not the guy you want shooting at three thomas defended by wagner back out to a wide open watford he passes on this shot although i know gaines doesn't want to shoot it drives in and it won't go lsu in the half court not lsu in the full court i can tell you that six minutes to go brown another three yes sean d have a day need another timeout [Applause] and smart answers with two what do i know shaun d brown a new michigan career high he's got 21 points [Music] 72-66 he picked a good day for the best game of his life wagner out to john's extra pass to the hottest man on the floor but an air ball by brown but inside days fouls dickinson and that's number four on darius days let's check in with aj ross after the wolverines eli brooks took that awkward fall at the other end of the floor he came over here and kind of walked it off and took a beat he's back by the coaches and seems to be about to go to the scores table shortly all right aj we'll keep an eye on that as gaines the freshman heads out and leblanc comes back in with four fouls gaines is upset about something because somebody tried to give him a pound when he walked off but he wasn't giving his teammate a pound [Applause] dickenson makes the front end double-double for dickinson tonight his team leading sixth of the season he's got 11 points and 11 boards now he's got 12 points you know their best thing that lsu has done all night in the half court has been the pick and roll with this man it's a 16-3 run for the wolverine smart off glass for two he should just keep going until they stop it or double it or do something different [Applause] oh that was a follow-up thing it is and that's number four on the big man that's a good call [Applause] clearly [Applause] a little bit of a flop by leblanc but it was a foul dickinson in foul trouble for the second consecutive game he fouled out on saturday against texas southern and that's a problem five minutes they got left right now juwon howard wants to buy three minutes with him out austin davis fifth year senior back on the floor [Applause] thomas knocks over smith and they are gonna wave it off wow will wade cam thomas thought he was looking at a three-point play and michigan had a miscommunication there wow i don't know i guess he threw that right elbow right there adam and will wade is pointing up to the video board here at lucas oil saying we just saw it first turnover committed by cam thomas [Applause] well they got to get stops they don't have to gamble they don't have to go crazy there's plenty of time to play solid defense in the half and now that dickinson's not in it becomes a little easier [Applause] oh off class and that's you know he hasn't played well tonight he steps up there when dickinson's out eight point game 420 to go smart for three i don't know about that shot leblanc and a foul is called on austin davis i gotta be honest with you i have a gripe with that the referee calls it from this side of the floor the floor the foul happened on the other side of the basket there was a referee sitting there i agree with juwan howard i'm like look where this is two referees are there neither one calls the foul the foul comes from the referee on the right side of the floor you know that always used to drive me nuts when i coached i got to be honest with you well it's still driving you nuts and you're not coaching anymore that's a good point leblanc at the line has not gone well for leblanc at the line this year he was six of 21 before that free throw and that's the first point from the lsu bench tonight i'm just glad you didn't have to call gene in there because he probably would have buried me for what i said i hope they're wiring them up i'd love to hear him perry anyway two free throws for leblanc a 28 free throw shooter six-point game [Applause] you know that was the kind of defense that watford played like this guy hasn't made shots all night he's not going to make this but that's what happens to me thomas turns it over michigan bench and fans going nuts here in indy this is the loudest i've obviously had a crowd this entire year as we know we haven't had any but this is unbelievable and a whistle to stop play with 3 27 to go a foul called on lsu they're going nuts at lucas oil stadium and lsu is leaking a little oil right now down by nine and it's getting late on cbs andrew catalan steve lapis aj ross back with you in indianapolis look at our game reset and lsu down by nine both teams in the double bonus now steve cam thomas no points in the last seven minutes and 21 seconds he only rested a minute on saturday has not come out of the game tonight can you ride him down the stretch or is he a little tired you have to now i mean that's it it's really javonte smart get him in the pick and roll but you need cam thomas out there no doubt this is it you've got three minutes and 27 seconds left in your season but i'll tell you what shaun d brown we talked about what he did on offense let me tell you something he did a whole heck of a lot on defense too the last lsu foul was on watford that's his fourth both teams shooting two the rest of the way and davis makes it a 10-point game and lsu they got they've got time they just can't go crazy here and just not hoisting threes off the dribble get two set up your trap your pressure you got athletic guys go for a steal and play it each team with two timeouts remaining 3 20 to go winner to the sweet 16. whoa hey thomas no good the tip isn't there and it's grab by guess who shaun d brown it's been all one on one and really this michigan team is so well schooled in the half court defense very hard to score against them as talented as they are going one on one and thomas looks tired he does look tired no doubt well they've been denying the ball they've made him work after those first 10 minutes he's had to work for everything there's a steal andre [Applause] still got time lsu trying to set up its press don't have to start following either just play solid smith bad place to stop and he calls it time out so now michigan with one remaining andre hyatt with the jam on the other end cutting it down to eights a look at the bracket in the east the winner of this one moves on to the sweet 16 against either colorado or florida state that game right now on tbs they're taking it out in a tough spot so if you're watford here you want to favor that left side in terms of don't let the ball go into the left corner make it come right here in front of you so you can get a good solid track and remember watford is out there with four fouls for lsu they break the press locker the other way fronds will pump you up michigan by 10. and then a foul committed by brown to stop the clock with 207. you know if you let the ball go into hunter dickinson in the middle of the floor so easily there you've got absolutely no chance wagner has come alive in the second half he now has 13 points and six rebounds [Music] [Applause] you know if they're going to set their pressure up they can't let hunter dickenson flash to the middle there's got to be somebody on him there it's way too easy because he's a good passer and he's seven feet tall smart makes them both [Applause] brooks back on the floor from michigan after exiting earlier in the half with an injury [Applause] you definitely want to use clock now inside two minutes to play if you're lsu you've got to put a little more pressure on the boy you can't let them just dribble it out like this this is too easy for michigan bosnia feeds dickenson five to shoot dickenson blocked michigan gets it back and it's fogner again 15 for wagner smart for three won't go long rebound the block right back out to smart shoots it again another miss and a foul called on michigan so lsu will shoot two [Applause] shaunie brown commits his fourth juwan howard wants to know why you follow he's right plus you tell you guys you get one rebound the game's probably over steve how about this shaun d brown when he's on the floor michigan is plus 21 tonight that's a guy who's affecting the game and more than just shooting the ball thomas makes them both he's got 28 points i mean now you got to foul leblanc almost fouled smith you need to foul you're going to have a minute to go down eight i think they should have given one here now forget it don't foul now 10 on the timer one minute to go smith airball his size has hurt him tonight he's done a good job leading the team though only five points for smith but he does have six assists not a great shot either you'd rather get something going to the basket in that situation [Applause] [Music] trying to get it to thomas he's got it here thomas right past dickenson for two and will wade calls timeout [Applause] [Music] 84.78 with 44 seconds to go i wish i could wake up and say hi to a giraffe [Music] ride a train in the sky and visit far away galaxies stay in the magic at a disney resort hotel so close to the parks you can make all your disney wishes come true and now you can save up to 30 on rooms at select disney resort hotels imagine the magic of staying here one time out left for each team it's a six point game and the possession arrow favors michigan you got to get your full court press set up try and force the ball into the corner don't let hunt the dickens and catch it in the middle of the floor get one trap and then you gotta foul if you could possibly i mean really everybody sean d brown is the worst free-throw shooter on the floor he's also the guy furthest away from the ball right now brooks gets it into travel oh he travels michigan gives it right back right here you're going to see he's the defense comes out he's does that little skip that's a good call jeff anderson all over that one that wasn't an easy one to catch either watford inbounds today's find giovante smarter this guy this guy is thomas thomas with the free-throw line thomas around wagner no and the rebound is grabbed michigan eli brooks took a bad shot michigan fans on their feet here in indy as watford just fouled out [Applause] [Applause] well that was a big miss by cam thomas they could have cut it to four i think they're better off with the ball and giovante smarts hands in that situation and let thomas maybe spot up some confusion on that last foul they are taking a look it was initially called on watford but now we're hearing they're changing it to thomas which is a big deal because watford would still be in the game [Applause] [Applause] hey you just heard one of the officials say the foul is on two that's trending watford yeah he's out yeah that's i mean that's definitely him [Applause] and now he is finally accepting the fact that he's fouled out he's hugging his teammates 11 points for watford tonight only three this half [Applause] and now the reason for the delayed stoppages cameron thomas had a little bit of blood so they cleaned him up 31.3 on the clock michigan will be shooting two free throws trying to make it a three possession game you know if i'm michigan i might be wrong i think that this stoppage here hurts us you got a guy waiting to shoot free throws it's brooks at the line he's only missed three the entire year 36-39 then again what do i know i worried about everything maybe i should have worried less i can't disagree 86-78 [Applause] smart for three brooks again in the middle for the rebound got a foul one time that it's over will wade is not gonna foul and they're going nuts here in indianapolis what a great job jerrod howard has done this whole year national coach of the year they've been unbelievable mitchell without isaiah livers first time in school history michigan is in the sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive tournament [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey tip your cap to both teams that was an incredible basketball game and michigan is moving on to the sweet 16.
