A few bright spots, but a tough day for Michigan Athletics on television

The basketball team played well in the first half against Oklahoma despite Manny and DeShawn getting into foul trouble, but in the second half, Oklahoma overpowered us, and you could say got a lot of calls.

I'm not going to comment much on the game because everybody was able to watch it for themselves. Michigan should be proud of everything they were able to accomplish this year, beating top teams like Duke and UCLA along with the wins they had in the Big Ten conference. This team is a year ahead of schedule. With most of the key positions returning, along with several key new guys coming in, this team should be able to make a run for the tournament again next year along with battling in the Big Ten conference.


Michigan softball got behind early on when Northwestern hit a grand slam home run and built up the lead, though Michigan fought back to tie the game 5-5. Northwestern rallied in the seventh inning to win the game 6-5. They play again tomorrow. The game is on the BTN at 2:00pm EDT.



Michigan wrestling finished 11th in the National Championship team competition this year, but they did have a bright spot in Steve Luke from Massillon, Ohio who captured the 174-pound national title.


Michigan ice hockey had a tough night losing to Notre Dame in the CCHA Championships at Joe Louis Arena. Michigan lead 2-0 early on, but ended up losing 5-2. Not a very good third period in which it looked like Notre Dame out-worked, out-hustled and out-played Michigan. Maybe this will be a wake-up call to the team and get them focused for the NCAA tournament. Sunday at 11:30am EDT. on ESPN2 is the NCAA tournament selection show.


Michigan women's gymnastics came away with their third Big Ten championship in a row with giving their highest point total of the year 197.075 to edge No. 16 Illinois with 196.750. On Monday, the team will learn where they are headed for in the NCAA regionals.
