The Michigan basketball team re-wrote history this season, but ended with a dud

All season, it was one achievement after another. Most weeks ranked inside the top 25 in more than a decade, best start to a conference season since the mid-2000s, most assists by a freshman — ever, highest RPI in recent memory and the first Big Ten championship since 1986. Everything ...

Michigan women's basketball doesn't fear the road in NCAA game at Oklahoma

Unlike the men’s version, the reality of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament is that 16 teams play first- and second-round games in their own arena. One this season is Oklahoma, the team Michigan will play Sunday (7:35 p.m., ESPN2). The Sooners’ home-court advantage isn’t high on coach Kevin Borseth’s worry ...
