Julian Reese stats tonight - How did Angel Reese's brother perform vs Michigan? (March 5)

Maryland Terrapins Julian Reese, Angel Reese's younger brother, had a solid defensive effort on Wednesday. His production aided the No. 13-ranked squad in the country in their 71-65 road victory over the 17th-ranked Michigan Wolverines, with one last regular season game left.

In 25 minutes of action, Reese posted six points with two free throws made, four rebounds, an assist, three steals and a blocks as his timely defense kept the game in favor of the Kevin Willard-coached team.

Reese's defensive prowess was on display early, as he got a block in the first possession of the game and got the rebound right after. The senior swatted another attempt from the opposition at the 14:01 mark of the first half. His assist on a Maryland 3-pointer brought his team within striking distance, 14-10, at the halfway point of the period.

As the fourth-year forward checked back in the 6:35 mark of the frame, he got his first foul that caused the Terrapins coaching staff to sit him out for the remainder of the period. Luckily for him, his team kept their edge afloat, leading 33-22 by the end of one half of play.

To open the final period, Reese was subbed back in where he continued being a force on the glass by boxing out and securing boards. His first basket finally came at the 15:20 mark by a jumper, and he quickly followed it up with a lay-in that gave the Terrapins a 61-57 lead.

Although he was struggling with producing points, the Baltimore, Maryland, native was too pesky on defense for Michigan to handle, as he had a stretch in the dying minutes, nabbing three straight steals. Reese capped of his outing by hitting on a couple of free throws that sealed the deal against the Big Ten conference opponent.
