Re: Michigan Wolverines (CH2K5)


         Penn State    22   30-52
#15 Michigan        42   38-80

In their first meeting of the year at State College, the Wolverines had destroyed Penn State with a defensive gem, 65-31. Penn State was looking for some measure of revenge this time around, as they insulted the crowd at Crisler Arena by jumping up and down on the M at midcourt before the game.

Michigan quickly put them in their place however, jumping out to an 18-4 lead. The lead inflated to 42-22 at halftime, and Michigan toyed with PSU all game, ultimately winning 80-52.

Player of the Game

Courtney Sims: 26 points, 19 rebounds, 3 blocks

Re: Michigan Wolverines (CH2K5)


         Iowa        24   33-57
#13 Michigan   40   30-70

In the Big Ten opener, Michigan demolished Iowa in Iowa City, 100-71.

Iowa looked for payback in Crisler Arena in the Big Ten finale for the two teams, 8 days before Selection Sunday. Iowa will not be going to the Big Dance, barring an improbable win in the Big Ten Tournament. Michigan has guaranteed a birth in the Big Dance. But that didn't decrease their desire to take out Iowa.

Things started off easily, as Michigan held a 40-24 lead at halftime. But Iowa slowly chipped away at the lead and got it down to 6 at 56-50 with 5:00 to go. But Courtney Sims was an animal in the paint all night, registering his first career triple double, and Michigan beat the Hawkeyes, 70-57.

Player of the Game

Courtney Sims: 21 points, 12 rebounds, 12 blocks


Dion Harris: 15 points, 2 steals
Lester Abram: 10 points, 5 rebounds
Chris Hunter: 9 points, 6 rebounds
Daniel Horton: 4 points, 10 assists, 2 steals
Brent Petway: 4 points, 6 rebounds


Pierre Pierce: 14 points, 10 assists
Adam Haluska: 11 points
Greg Brunner: 10 points, 11 rebounds
Doug Thomas: 8 points, 7 rebounds
