Niyo: Duncan’s dead-eye shooting ignites Michigan hopes

Ann Arbor — It’s more of an echo than an alarm. But the good news for Duncan Robinson is that the voices inside his head don’t sound much different than ones everyone else hears.

In fact, they all carry the same message. And it’s really just a simple request.

“Shoot the ball, shoot the ball, shoot the ball,” Michigan coach John Beilein said.

Beilein says it almost every day in practice, as Robinson buries shot after shot. He says it before games, as assistant coach DeAndre Haynes puts him through his paces, and after them, as he gives the scoresheet a quick scan.
