There’s efficiency. Then there’s Michigan.

Few teams in the nation have been better than the No. 6 Wolverines. Their 51.5% field goal clip ranks eighth in Division I, per HerHoopStats. Their 93.2 points per game sits fifth. Their confining defense allows just 54.2 points a contest. They even have five players who average nine-plus points, with Olivia Olson’s 17.8 leading the way.

Syracuse head coach Felisha Legette-Jack knows it’s the Orange’s biggest test yet.
