Michigan Sports Stuff

First, the bad news: Michigan's hoops season is over after their loss to Wisconsin. Shred of hope: Beilein runs a complicated system, and he needs smarter players than Amaker recruited in order to run it well. Smarter players coming? Check. Also, there are just so many young guys. Once they have the basics down better, they can work more on conditioning and really improve this off-season.

Also, Michigan State somehow managed to beat Northern Michigan, 5-1, in the CCHA quarterfinals last night.

Now, the good news: Michigan scored on three different goalies and Chad Kolarik got a hat trick in his first appearance since the LSSU series a few weeks ago; they defeated Nebraska-Omaha 10-1 (no typo...really, that was the score) at Yost last night in the CCHA quarterfinals.

Also, Michigan State saw a 12-point lead slip away and approximately eighteen big men foul out as Wisconsin came back to win their Big Ten basketball semifinal game today. Bo Ryan is now a glorious 11-3 against Tom Izzo. That oughta shut 'em up.
