A quick piece of good news from the struggling University of Michigan basketball program. They beat 15th ranked Connecticut 68-63 on Sunday in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines were led by Manny Harris, who had 18 points and eight rebounds. Maybe this team will be making a run for the NCAA tournament after all? It’s still an uphill [...] Things had been pretty quiet around the Motor City Sports Blog offices the past week. The brouhaha over Sidney Crosby’s snub of Nicklas Lidstrom, as well as the fact that our Winged warrior came up one game short of the cup, has worn off. And the Tigers have been playing [...] Like you, I watched yesterday’s Pistons game hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. And the only positive thing you can say about the game is that our expectations were met. The Pistons 2008-2009 season came to a crashing halt on Sunday as “King” LeBron James further solidified his reputation as one of the greatest [...] It’s always like this in the end. Athletes rarely quit before their time is up (Barry Sanders is the exception to this rule) and teams are rarely broken up and reimagined by their management before they are unraveled by a younger, hungrier and yes … more talented team. What’s happening to the [...] If it wasn’t painfully obvious to anyone that’s followed the Pistons this year, the end of an era is near.

The Cavs [...] From the AP wire: NEW YORK (AP)—This didn’t look like a club fighting for a No. 7 or 8 seed. These resembled the old Detroit Pistons, who used to beat up on those types of teams in the playoffs. Richard Hamilton scored 22 points, Rasheed Wallace had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and the Pistons rolled into [...] It was a game that wasn’t close from the start. The Michigan State Spartans fell to the North Carolina Tar Heels 89-72 on Monday night in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game. This is North Carolina’s fifth men’s basketball championship. The Tar Heels ran up an amazing 55 points in the first half of the game. In [...] In this video excerpt from last night’s press conference, MSU coach Tom Izzo discusses Michigan’s fans and what the Spartans mean to the state. Tom Izzo’s MSU Spartans rolled through the University of Connecticut Huskies tonight, winning a hard-fought game 82-73. Up until the fifth minute of the second half, both teams were evenly matched, exchanging the lead several times. With 16 minutes left in the second half, the game was tied. At that point, MSU broke away and gained [...] |
