Ann Arbor — Times are changing for Michigan sophomore guard Jordan Poole and so are opponents’ game plans.

Poole has arguably been Michigan’s most steady presence over the past month and has done more than just emerge as a consistent scoring option for the Wolverines.

By averaging 17.6 points while shooting 58.5 percent from field (55-for-94) and 53.7 percent from 3-point range (29-for-54) over the past nine games, Poole has formed a three-headed attack with freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis and redshirt junior wing Charles Matthews.
