New York, New York! Michigan advances to NIT semis, beats Irish
NOTRE DAME - Wolverines aren't supposed to have luck like this. Especially in South Bend.
Brandun Hughes' running jumper from the foul line with 7.6 seconds left last night gave Michigan a 67-66 victory over Notre Dame, sending the Wolverines to New York City for the NIT semifinals. Michigan (22-11) will play Arkansas on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

'M' hopes to find pitching at Purdue
What could be better than a spring trip to West Lafayette? Well, probably most anything short of teeth extraction. But the Michigan baseball team doesn't have a choice. The Wolverines (9-7) will open the Big Ten season at Purdue (6-9) today at 3 p.m.
Blue tennis to take on No. 11 Illini
No more preseason tournaments, warm-weather invitationals or extended road trips. For the Michigan men's tennis team, it all comes down to this.
The Wolverines will begin their Big Ten season this weekend with matches at Illinois and Purdue. They will not be easy, especially against the 11th-ranked Illini, who will be looking to settle a score with the Wolverines on Saturday.
