Written about him
J.P. Estrella Played Thirty-Five Of Forty Minutes For A Michigan Team Down To Eight
Michigan lost the second game of its European tour 82-77 to Lithuania's National B Team on August 24 in Utena, a day after losing 96-84 to the Lithuania senior national team in Vilnius. Michigan's box score listed ten players and Michigan used eight, with Moustapha Thiam, Trey McKenney and Ricky Liburd all resting nagging injuries as a precaution and Lincoln Cosby and Jalen Reed still rehabbing. Four Wolverines played more than thirty-one minutes after none had reached thirty-one the previous night: J.P. Estrella 35:34, Quinn Costello 34:34, Oscar Goodman 32:04, Brandon McCoy Jr. 31:06. Michigan's reserves scored seven points on three-of-twelve shooting in 44:33, against forty bench points on Sunday, though Costello and Goodman had both come off the bench in Vilnius and started here. Michigan attempted forty-three three-pointers and thirty-three two-pointers, making eleven and seventeen. The Wolverines scored ten points in the third quarter and led 47-46 at halftime. Elliot Cadeau had nineteen points and eight assists in 22:09. Michigan closes the tour against Mega SUPERBET in Dubrovnik on August 27.
Michigan Lost Three Starters To Fouls And The Ball Twenty-Seven Times
Michigan opened its European tour with a 96-84 exhibition loss to the Lithuania senior national team at Arena Vilnius on August 23. The Wolverines led 56-44 at halftime and by fourteen early in the third quarter, then were outscored 52-28 after the break. Michigan committed 27 turnovers and 28 fouls. Trey McKenney, Elliot Cadeau and J.P. Estrella each committed a fifth personal foul, left the floor at it and did not return, all three inside the last eight minutes. Quinn Costello led Michigan with 17 points on five three-pointers off the bench in 27:45, second on the team in minutes. Joseph Hartman played 20:58 with five assists and finished the game at point guard. Michigan's bench played 105:10 to the starters' 94:50. Azuolas Tubelis, who played three seasons at Arizona, scored 31 points on 12-of-15 shooting for Lithuania. Michigan plays the Lithuania B Team on August 24 in Utena and Mega SUPERBET on August 27 in Dubrovnik.
Michigan Landed In Lithuania And Lost Its Fifth-Year Guard The Same Day
A three-judge panel froze Judge Sweeney's July 31 injunction on August 21, the day Michigan arrived in Lithuania, and the NCAA's chief legal officer says class members declared eligible under it are no longer eligible. At Michigan that is Roddy Gayle Jr., who played 39 of 40 games last season at 21.1 minutes a night. The three exhibitions starting August 23 are now the entire audition for the minutes behind Elliot Cadeau, and the merits appeal has no public argument date.
Michigan's Backup Point Guard Is A Pending Motion In Denver
Roddy Gayle Jr. played 21.1 minutes a night in 39 of Michigan's 40 games last season. A Colorado injunction gave him a fifth year on July 31, a clarification on August 2 took away his ability to transfer, and the NCAA appealed on August 3. Michigan is the only door he can walk through, and Michigan boards a plane for Lithuania on August 21.
