Unfinished business: Back from injury, Lemire eyes improving her game
Pain and agony. Months of rehabilitation. No, it's not what follows a term of organic chemistry, it's what follows a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a dehabilitating knee injury that requires reconstructive surgery.
Bullock's place in history was set long ago
It took almost the entire first half, but that was hardly a long time to wait. Not for Louis Bullock.
Michigan's career 3-point mark was his for the taking. After only 1 1/2 seasons, he needed just one three to claim a school record as his own.

Grapplers control State of Indiana
It's probably safe to say that the No. 11 Michigan wrestling team loves the state of Indiana. It destroyed the Hoosiers on Friday night, 28-10, and Purdue, 21-12, on Saturday night.
Against Indiana, Luiey Haddad wrestled at 142 pounds in place of Teya Hill, who along with Bill Lacure, Otto Olson and Jeff Catrabone, was bumped up one weight class.
Wolverines' Big Ten drought a bit ridiculous

DETROIT - A very good thing happened to the Wolverines on Saturday night.
They lost.

Mask not enough to make Mo think about his schnozz
On Saturday, Maurice Taylor was unstoppable.
But this time, it was not opposing defenses trying to stop the junior forward.
Dunks no longer elusive for Hughes; Lisicky goes cold
Remember the time you saw your friend dunk a basketball for the first time in high school? Even though he was 6-foot-5, you probably never thought he could get up that high.
So, when the relatively diminutive Brandun Hughes stole the ball with less than three minutes left in Saturday's game and coasted toward the Penn State basket for an emphatic one-handed jam, imagine what went through the minds of the fans at Crisler Arena.

Michigan women's hoops fails to execute in frustrating defeats
Watching the Michigan women's basketball team is much like trying to stay warm under a blanket that doesn't cover your feet. It's frustrating.

Blue cagers revert to bad habits: Turnovers are costly again for the Wolverines in their third straight loss
The rock.
The pill.

The Michigan women's basketball team learned that lesson the hard way this past weekend in its two losses to Penn State and Purdue.
Men's tankers down Ohio State
For the past four seasons, the Michigan men's swimming and diving team has been through it all, going undefeated in Big Ten dual meets, winning three conference championships, and taking the NCAA title in 1995.
With this in mind, it was no surprise that when the Wolverines needed a relay victory to defeat Ohio State on Saturday afternoon on Senior Recognition Day, the task was left up to senior captain John Piersma.
Women's tankers lose first Big Ten dual meet since '93
It seems that it's not only the Michigan football team that has trouble with Northwestern.
