Wolverines rip through Illini in 'best game' yet
Apparently, finding the on/off switch is a little more difficult than you would think.
Nonetheless, the Wolverines found their switch, albeit three games into the Big Ten season. No. 16 Michigan's 88-74 victory over No. 25 Illinois (1-2 Big Ten, 11-4 overall) last night was its most complete effort thus far.
Icers hope to bake Alaska, Ferris State
Under normal circumstances, a contest against the CCHA's ninth-place team would suit the Michigan hockey team just fine.
But following a tie to Cornell and possessing a lengthy memory that recalls an early-season visit to Alaska, Michigan is far from excited to see Alaska-Fairbanks.
Michigan (18-1-2) will host the Nanooks tonight and Ferris State (9-15-1) tomorrow, both 7 p.m. games at Yost Ice Arena.
Which group of Wolverines will show up at Minnesota?
Prior to this season, the Michigan basketball team was picked by the media to win the Big Ten conference. And why wouldn't the Wolverines win the conference? Good players returned, many of whom were heading into their third season of conference competition. And they had the lethal combination of talent and experience that wins conference titles and keeps teams playing a long way into March.
Cardinal to be early test for Blue
The Michigan women's swimming and diving team will end its California holiday travels this weekend with meets against No. 1 Stanford tomorrow and No. 16 California on Sunday.
The Wolverines' travels included a two-week training session in Coronado, Calif., and a practice meet against UCLA and California-San Diego.
