Yaxel Lendeborg and the 23-1 Michigan Wolverines are taking on the 17-7 UCLA Bruins in a college basketball matchup between two respected teams. The star forward was seen by many as instrumental in his team’s ability to win.
Here’s a look at whether the forward was able to live up to his penchant this season in a matchup many believed Lendeborg should have had little trouble having a distinct presence.

Heading out of the first half, Lendeborg was ahead of pace with his 14.3 points per game average, tallying nine points after 15 minutes of playing time, per ESPN. He also recorded five rebounds in the contest, with the majority of points coming from free throws. He was also able to get on the board defensively with a block and three defensive rebounds.
Heading into the second half, his accuracy in the paint and around the floor needed to be improved to get closer to his production at the free-throw line.

A quality free-throw shooter, Lendeborg has maintained an 84.2% free throw make rate. He has also been consistent in the general field goals with a 50.4% field goal accuracy rating.
