The last time the Michigan hockey team was shut out in back to back games, it was two more years until the end of World War II. The date was March 7, 1943, when Illinois swept a Wolverines team that ultimately finished the 1942-1943 season with a dismal record of 1-10-2. On Saturday, though, as…

MINNEAPOLIS — Sometimes, all it takes is one tussle to flip a hockey game on its head. In pure Michigan fashion, it came out ablaze, largely maintaining puck possession and dominating the shot battle. Though it didn’t pocket a goal, the Wolverines kept Minnesota on the backfoot for the early half of the first period.…

Michigan and Iowa like to play fast. And on Saturday that meant Wolverines junior guards Tre Donaldson and Roddy Gayle were playing to their strength. Gayle and Donaldson led the Michigan men’s basketball team in its return home against the Hawkeyes. Led by their starting guards, the Wolverines’ (8-1 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) offense were…

MINNEAPOLIS — The No. 6 Michigan hockey team got outdueled by No. 7 Minnesota in almost every possible aspect in Friday’s 6-0 loss.

MINNEAPOLIS — Gophers are best known for digging holes and damaging the land above, causing chaos and destruction in the process.  By outplaying the No. 6 Michigan hockey team (10-4-1 overall, 4-1 Big Ten) and capitalizing on the Wolverines’ errors, No. 4 Minnesota (14-2-1, 7-0) adopted the mentality of its mascot, digging Michigan into a…

OK, so in the past we’ve said we don’t publish our picks when Michigan has a bye week. That has been true, but this is postseason. The stakes are high, and our publish rate will be higher.  Last week was the best week for the women yet, with Rekha going 8-2 and Lys at 7-3.…

On Feb. 1, 2024, the advertising agency Publicis Health paid the state of Michigan nearly $11.7 million in a settlement for its role in the opioid crisis. The company was charged with downplaying the threat of OxyContin abuse, a potent opioid painkiller, and using public advertising to encourage users to increase their dosage. Publicis worked…

Social media platforms allow us to openly express our beliefs and share them with people across the globe. From there, we create larger communities that share ideas — and those ideas ultimately contribute to America’s polarized political climate. However, this divide is not necessarily driven by politics alone; it is a psychological occurrence that causes people to…

Entering its second Big Ten matchup of the season, the Michigan men’s basketball team will play a team with a similar mindset to itself. Iowa is a team that loves to run, has good forward play and can shoot it from deep. While these offensive cornerstones are shared by the two teams, that doesn’t mean…
