Judgment Days: Michigan to stand trial in conference

This weekend is big for the Michigan basketball team. In fact, it's probably fair to say tonight's game against No. 10 Purdue at Crisler Arena and Sunday's game at No. 16 Iowa constitute the most important two-game stretch for the 19th-ranked Wolverines in a very, very long time.

Cavs first up for 'M' tennis

No more tournaments for practice or individual glory. The time has come for the Michigan men's tennis team to come together and finally play matches that count, starting this Sunday at home.

Swimmers look to topple Indiana

The Michigan men's swimming and diving team will walk into Canham Natatorium Saturday morning to find things just a little different.

First victory up for grabs in Champaign

If there is such a thing as the perfect match-up, then the Michigan men's gymnastics team can make a strong case for it when the Wolverines travel to Champaign this Saturday night. The Wolverines (0-2 Big Ten, 0-2 overall) are tied for seventh in the national rankings with conference rival Illinois (0-1, 0-1) heading into this weekend's dual meet. Both teams have identical high scores on the season (223.80), which also places them in a tie for fifth in the Big Ten.

State foes converge on Track Building

The first leg in the battle for state supremacy begins this Saturday when the Michigan women's track team hosts a six-team field in the annual Michigan Intercollegiate at the Michigan Track Building.
