Overview of the young season

Today's Michigan Daily has an article about the season so far, noting areas the team needs to work on (including rebounding and play in the second half) and areas the team has improved on (cutting personal fouls and more assists).

On Krista Clement:

Like Steve Nash: Senior Krista Clement is an assist machine.

In Michigan's past two games, Clement averaged seven assists and just 1.5 turnovers. She is the first Wolverine since March 2006 to put up more than five assists in two consecutive games. After coming off the bench last season, the now-starting guard has emerged as the Wolverines' top distributor.

Playing just 168 minutes in 21 games last year, Clement tallied 20 assist and 22 turnovers. The St. Ignace, Mich., native now takes the court for more than 30 minutes per game with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.0. While she hasn't exactly found her stroke - 3-for-16 on the year, all from behind the arc - the four-time captain has made her leadership present on the court.
