When Michigan fell to 13-seeded Ohio in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, its quest for its first Sweet 16 appearance since 1994 was definitively lost, but the Wolverines may be on the verge of suffering an even bigger loss in the near future. Freshman point guard Trey Burke, who led the Wolverines in scoring (14.8 ppg) and assists (4.6 apg), is considering … [Read more...] about Trey Burke Considering NBA
Michigan on Upset Alert Against 13-Seed Ohio
The Wolverines just completed their most impressive regular season since coach John Beilein arrived in Ann Arbor in 2007, a campaign that included 24 wins, 13 of those in conference, and their first Big Ten Championship since the 1985-1896 season--even if they only technically own 1/3 of that crown.

Northwestern damages NCAA Tournament chances in losing to Michigan
When Northwestern beat Minnesota on Saturday, the Wildcats were able to pull out the win with strong three-point shooting and ball security, despite a bad rebounding ratio.

Wolverines Really Didn’t Deserve BCS Bowl Win, or Bid in the first Place
It was kind of ridiculous that both the ACC and the Big Ten got two BCS bids this year when each conference only deserved one. Of course, that's nothing compared to #23 West Virginia getting an Orange Bowl bid when the Big East clearly didn't deserve it's automatic qualifier this year; or last year for that matter. The Michigan Wolverines didn't deserve to be in New Orleans … [Read more...] about Wolverines Really Didn’t Deserve BCS Bowl Win, or Bid in the first Place
