Notebook: Wolverines set season high at the charity stripe, Burke honored

BY STEVEN BRAID

Sunday’s victory against Big Ten bottom-feeder Penn State wasn’t exactly filled with many positives for the Michigan men’s basketball team, but a bright spot might have been its ability to create contact and get to the charity stripe during the 79-71 victory.

SportsMonday Column: Trey Burke, the unfaltering king of Crisler

BY STEPHEN J. NESBITT

That’s not how that Michigan gameplan was written up; Michigan was supposed to mop the Crisler Center floor with the Nittany Lions. But Burke had to bail Michigan out from a monumental upset. Somehow, despite the embarrassment of riches surrounding him, that’s still Burke’s job.

Rice, Russell, Dietz highlight Crisler Center rededication weekend

BY COLLEEN THOMAS

The lone standing ovation during Sunday’s game wasn’t for any of Glenn Robinson III’s dunks or for a Nik Stauskas 3-pointer — it came during a timeout with 11:25 left in the first half.

Michigan holds on to beat Penn State, 79-71

BY COLLEEN THOMAS

The fourth-ranked Wolverines got off to a slow start yet again, and save for sophomore guard Trey Burke’s outstanding day and several cheer-inducing alley-oops by freshman forward Glenn Robinson III, they didn’t play like they had much to celebrate. But Michigan pulled out the win, 79-71, over Penn State.

Michigan looks to get back on track against Penn State

BY DANIEL WASSERMAN

The fourth-ranked Wolverines, who are embroiled in a sense of negativity for the first time this season, have lost three of their past four games. In fact, the back-to-back losses against Wisconsin and Michigan State in the past week mark the first time Michigan has lost consecutive regular-season games since it lost six consecutive games in the middle of 2011.

Policy shift leaves students frustrated over Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament tickets

BY ZACH HELFAND

In a policy shift, the Michigan Athletic Department this season distributed student tickets to the tournament based on loyalty to the program, measured by game attendance and usage of the department’s H.A.I.L. mobile application. The department, which has already distributed its allotment, will still pay for many of those tickets, as it has in the past.

Daniel Wasserman: Michigan needs toughness, not a t-shirt

BY DANIEL WASSERMAN

On the corner of Harrison Road and Kalamazoo Street Tuesday, $10 could’ve bought you the state’s most talked about T-shirt. The “YOU OFF” shirts were actually priced at $15, but the street vendors selling them put up as much of a fight about holding to the listing price as Michigan put up against Michigan State at the Breslin Center across the street.
