Michigan Wins in Grinding Fashion

The men's basketball team pulled out what appears to be an ugly win today by beating Iowa 55-47. Today we played well enough to win against an awful Iowa team but you can't expect to compete against Wisconsin when you only shoot 37% from the field. Manny Harris led Michigan, as he has all year, scoring 19 points. Sims had a solid game as well with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Probably the most overlooked move of the day was Anthony Wright getting the start over Ron Coleman. I said earlier that we needed a big game from him and he came through with 9 points, 2 assists, and 3 rebounds in 32 minutes. Hats off to Coach Beilein for making the move to Wright and sitting Coleman, the struggling senior. The road ahead doesn't get any easier as Michigan moves on to the quarterfinals to face the Big Ten regular season champion Wisconsin. Tip is set for noon Friday. An upset is what we are all hoping for tomorrow. Good luck boys and until next time, Go Blue!
