Ann Arbor — Sophomore forward Brandon Johns Jr. kept everything the same.
Same warm-up routine. Same mindset. Same approach. Same level of confidence.
The only difference was for the first time in his career, Johns was in the starting lineup and was part of the player intros as Michigan closed out its non-conference slate last weekend at Crisler Center.
"It was kind of crazy,” Johns said after posting six points and four rebounds in the 86-60 win over UMass Lowell. “First time for everything I guess, right?”
