When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

Michigan Basketball and Dusty May, Football Roster, NIL, Sherrone Moore In Year One 1:06:52

for 44 weeks siden1:06:52

1:06:52

Michigan head basketball coach Dusty May has done a phenomenal job since taking over in late-March. He has put together a phenomenal staff, retained a few players who could really help when it comes to depth, landed three high school prospects from the recruiting trail and, most importantly, nabbed six big-time transfer targets to just about round out his roster. With all of those pieces in place, the Wolverines should be competitive on the hardwood in year one under May. On the football field, Sherrone Moore is up against it just a bit. Recruiting has been very slow for a national championship team and there does seem to be a pretty big question mark at quarterback. A few staffers have been in trouble and in turn replaced and now it's all about the players themselves getting better over the summer before everyone reconvenes in August for fall camp. Michigan should be pretty good in 2024, but the quarterback situation, turnover of the roster and schedule will all be tough to navigate for Moore in his first year as the head man.…

Ep. 206: Michigan Football, Spring Game, Offensive Line, Dusty May's Staff 1:10:04

for 47 weeks siden1:10:04

1:10:04

After a perfect 15-0, national championship season, Michigan is flying high but does have a lot to figure out heading into the 2024 season. New head coach Sherrone Moore had to hire six new assistants and move around a few others into new positions. He and his staff also have to find a new starting quarterback, a couple new wide receivers, a replacement for an injured Rod Moore, a cornerback opposite Will Johnson and a completely new offensive line. Not only is there plenty of work to do when it comes to the roster, Michigan's schedule is absolutely brutal in 2024. Moore seems ready, but he definitely has a lot of work ahead of him. On the hardwood, it's probably even worse. For new head coach Dusty May, he came in with multiple openings alongside him on the bench and behind the scenes. He also inherited a roster that only had three or four names on it. Since being hired, May has hired three terrific young, ace recruiters types and has secured re-commitments from Will Tschetter and George Washington III. Things are still falling into place for May, but he's off to a good start. We talk all of that and more, on this episode of The Wolverine Digest Podcast.…

Ep. 205: Sherrone Moore & Michigan Spring Football, Juwan Howard Fired, Michigan Basketball 1:13:22

for 50 weeks siden1:13:22

1:13:22

It's a new year, a new format and a essentially two new programs. Michigan football is now under the watchful eye of Sherrone Moore as the Wolverines look to defend their national title, while in basketball, the Juwan Howard era is over. The former Fab Fiver was fired after an abysmal 8-24 season and athletic director Warde Manuel is now looking for a new bball coach. The two programs could not be in more different spots. Football is coming off a perfect 15-0, national championship season, while basketball is crumbling from the inside out after the worst finish in program history. It's not up to Moore to keep things going and whoever the new hoops coach will be to stop the bleeding and begin what could be a very difficult rebuild.…

Ep. 204: Michigan Football Beats Penn State, Maryland Up Next, Jim Harbaugh Suspension, Big Ten, JJ McCarthy 1:07:40

for 1 year siden1:07:40

1:07:40

Jim Harbaugh got on a plane to head to Pennsylvania with his team to take on Penn State and found out, while airborne, that he was suspended. It was a cowardly move by Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, but that's how it went down. With the news that Harbaugh wouldn't be allowed inside Beaver Stadium, the weight of the biggest game of the season fell onto Sherrone Moore's shoulders. The offensive line coach/offensive coordinator/acting head coach played his roles to perfection and led the Wolverines to a 24-15 win. With Michigan now 10-0, it's about Maryland this weekend. But first, Harbaugh will go in front of a judge on Friday for a hearing following an injunction to put a temporary restraining order in place, which would allow him to coach in College Park on Saturday. If it's unsuccessful, it'll be Moore again running the show, and would likely pave the way for him to be the head man for the regular season finale against Ohio State as well. With so many strange, unprecedented moving parts, Michigan just keeps powering through and winning games. Expect that to happen again next weekend as the Wolverines go for win No. 1,000.…

Ep. 203: Michigan Football vs. Penn State, Jim Harbaugh & The Media, JJ McCarthy, NCAA/Big Ten 1:09:37

1:09:37

Well, Connor Stalions is out, the NCAA found nothing linking Jim Harbaugh to Stalions and the Wolverines are easily 2-0 since the sign-stealing allegations became public knowledge. Mix all of that in a bowl, with different media people reporting on all parts of this scandal in very different ways, and you have quite a storm when it comes to Michigan Football. However, the Wolverines are still rolling at 9-0 and will be tested, really for the first time, this weekend in Happy Valley. Now it's time for things to really get interesting because the game on the field is finally going to be competitive and worth talking about like everything off the field has been. The Wolverines are going to face some legitimate competition for the first time in 2023. That's not Michigan's fault, but it is true. Penn State hasn't looked great this year, but probably looked their best just last week while throttling Maryland, 51-15. People are definitely excited to watch Michigan play another highly talented team so that way we can talk about football versus everything else.…

Ep. 202: Jim Harbaugh's Program, Connor Stalions & MSU/CMU, Michigan Football vs. Purdue, Fan Wednesday 1:08:24

for 1 year siden1:08:24

1:08:24

Another day, another layer of weirdness surrounding the Michigan football program and the sign-stealing allegations. The latest — a gentleman resembling Connor Stalions on Central Michigan's sideline earlier this year as the Chippewas took on Michigan State. If it is Stalions, he's in full CMU coaching garb, with sunglasses on at a night game (and they might even record video), while rocking an uncharacteristic goatee and potentially a wig. As Michigan prepares to absolutely obliterate Purdue on Saturday, there is definitely a black cloud hanging over the program. Other coaches and athletic directors from the Big Ten are calling for Jim Harbaugh's head, even though nothing has been proven yet and no governing body has formally accused the Wolverines of breaking any rules. The Wolverines are easily 8-0 and No. 3 in the country in the first round of the College Football Playoff rankings, but no one is talking about that...and that's a shame.…

On Saturday, Oct. 21, Michigan beat the absolute piss out of Michigan State in East Lansing, 49-0, but unfortunately, it felt like old news by the time Monday rolled around because of new findings surrounding the sign stealing allegations at U-M. More evidence came out against Connor Stalions and it now seems like things are trending in a negative direction for the Michigan football program. Instead of focusing on how good this team is, how dominant the defense has been, how JJ McCarthy is now the Heisman frontrunner and how they've cruised to 8-0 in pursuit of a third straight Big Ten title and College Football Playoff berth, we're trying to figure out if Michigan cheated over the past three seasons and what might happen if they did.…

Ep. 200: Michigan Kills Minnesota, Indiana Upcoming, JJ McCarthy, Offensive Line, Halfway Point 1:23:45

for 1 year siden1:23:45

1:23:45

Michigan is 6-0 overall, No. 2 in the country and winning by an average of 30.7 points each time it takes the field. Jim Harbaugh and his staff are firing on all cylinders and the the team seems locked in, yet is still improving. To put it bluntly — Michigan is in a great spot halfway through the season. Michigan is also quite healthy through six weeks, which is huge as teams try to jockey for College Football Playoff ranking position. Of course, Michigan is also thinking about that last regular season game in November, as well as the Big Ten Championship Game, which has played into how Harbaugh and Co. approach each opponent. Michigan will be back home this week to host the Indiana Hoosiers after a two-week hiatus in Nebraska and Minnesota. Michigan won its two road games by an average of 40 points, and Indiana isn't as good as either of those programs. Michigan is a massive 34-point favorite over the Hoosiers, so 7-0 is the mark that everyone will be looking for when new rankings and discussions pop up next week.…

Ep. 199: Michigan Football vs. Minnesota, Jim Harbaugh, U-M Defense, Offensive Weapons 1:32:03

for 1 year siden1:32:03

1:32:03

Michigan is now sitting pretty at 5-0 after absolutely destroying Nebraska in Lincoln. Some dunces thought that the Huskers might actually give the Wolverines a game but instead, Michigan got out to a 45-0 lead before allowing a score by the home team. Jim Harbaugh, his coaches and just about every player are performing about as well as one can. Whether it's JJ McCarthy making just about every correct read, the entire defense being where it needs to be at all times or the entire staff pressing the right buttons series after series, the Wolverines are humming right along. This week, it's another road test, this time in Minneapolis. The Wolverines are, once again, huge favorites and should move to 6-0 in similar fashion. Minnesota wants to do a lot of what Michigan does — run the ball, play stout defense against the run, fly around with passion and intensity and play a clean brand of football. Unfortunately for Minnesota, they're not as good at Michigan at its own game. Expect the Wolverines to roll again, this time away from home in the Twin Cities.…

Ep. 198: Michigan Football vs. Nebraska, Jim Harbaugh Returns, JJ McCarthy, Donovan Edwards 1:23:50

for 1 year siden1:23:50

1:23:50

For the fourth week in a row, Michigan won pretty convincingly, but it didn't play out exactly how most thought it would. The Wolverines have yet to score 40 points and have not covered a spread yet against very inferior opponents. Still, 4-0 is 4-0, Jim Harbaugh is back and the Wolverines are, for the most part, healthy heading into the fifth game of the season. That fifth game of the season, is the most interesting one to date, because it's on the road against Nebraska. The Huskers haven't been very impressive under first year head coach Matt Rhule thus far, but they do do some things well and Memorial Stadium can be a tough place to play. For Michigan, the running game still doesn't quite look as dominant as most thought it would, however JJ McCarthy returned to form against the Scarlet Knights and was as sharp as ever despite not putting up eye-popping numbers. The running game, defense and a poised McCarthy will all have to travel to Lincoln in order to get to 5-0 this week.…

Ep. 197: Jim Harbaugh Returns, Michigan Football vs. Rutgers, Fan-Led Wednesday 1:23:03

for 1 year siden1:23:03

1:23:03

Michigan is now 3-0 after its less-than daunting non-conference schedule, but the wins weren't as impressive as most thought they would be. Of course, Jim Harbaugh was absent for all three, which begs the question — how big of a difference will Harbaugh make now that he's back? That question will be answered the weekend as the Wolverines host Rutgers in the Big Ten opener. Harbaugh is back, Michigan is relatively healthy and everyone else on staff can return to their normal duties. To me, this should be the best Michigan has looked all season, even though it's against easily the best opponent in a 3-0 Rutgers team that has been a thorn in U-M's side in recent years.…

Ep. 196: Michigan State & Mel Tucker, Jim Harbaugh, Bowling Green, JJ McCarthy, Running Game 1:23:49

for 1 year siden1:23:49

1:23:49

There's plenty to talk about when it comes to Michigan football. JJ McCarthy has been razor sharp, the running game is just a little behind schedule, Jesse Minter's defense has been lights out and Jim Harbaugh has just one game remaining on his suspension. The Wolverines are easily 2-0 and still No. 2 in the country. With that said, most people in the world of Big Ten football are talking about Mel Tucker and Michigan State. Tucker really blew it....and now it looks like he'll be out of a job as soon as the law allows. Michigan won't travel to East Lansing until October 21, which would be a little over two weeks after Tucker is officially terminated per the current timeline. It's really going to be interesting to see how things play out for MSU, as Michigan continues to win week after week.…

Ep. 195: Jim Harbaugh Presser, UNLV, JJ McCarthy & Roman Wilson, Michigan Defense 1:19:08

for 2 years siden1:19:08

1:19:08

Michigan is sitting at 1-0 after beating ECU pretty easily in week one, but it wasn't perfect and didn't look how most people thought it would. The Wolverines only scored one rushing touchdown and weren't able to run the ball like they did just about every week last year. Blake Corum led the way with 73 yards rushing and the lone score, while Donovan Edwards mustered just 37 yards on 12 carries. Obviously Michigan wants to run the ball, but it just wasn't working. What was working, was the passing attack with JJ McCarthy. The junior signal caller was SHARP on Saturday going 26-of-30 for 280 yards and three touchdowns. At one point, No. 9 completed 15 passes in a row and could not miss no matter where he threw the ball from. Roman Wilson was McCarthy's favorite target on the day catching all three touchdown passes, while Cornelius Johnson and Colston Loveland both proved productive as well. At the end of the day, Michigan wins the game 30-3 without trying all that hard.…

Ep. 194: Fan-Led Wednesday, Ron Bellamy, Chris Partridge, Michigan Football 1:21:09

1:21:09

Just a few days before kicking off the 2023 season, Michigan assistants Ron Bellamy and Chris Partridge spoke to the media for the first time this offseason. For Bellamy, it's about finding a reliable third and fourth receiver behind Cornelius Johnson and Roman Wilson. For much of camp, Tyler Morris was in the No. 3 spot, but he's apparently "working through something" as game No. 1 approaches. Bellamy talked about a trio of freshmen and also Darrius Clemons when explaining who might be asked to step up. Partridge spoke about his linebacker room but it was what he said about Jim Harbaugh that seemed to draw the most attention. After being here three years ago, Partridge says that now, this is officially Jim's team. The players have all taken on Harbaugh's personality and that's the reason for the A+ culture and two straight seasons of success. With the 2023 campaign literally just around the corner, Partridge can't wait to be standing on the sidelines again now that the team is ready for another big step.…

Ep. 193: Michigan Football vs. East Carolina, Jim Harbaugh Suspension, Presser, Sherrone Moore, Jesse Minter 1:28:21

1:28:21

The season hasn't started yet, but there's already a lot going on when it comes to Michigan football. Jim Harbaugh is suspended for the first three games, while offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Sherrone Moore is suspended for just the opener. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will call the shots in game one, while Moore, who will be back after his one game hiatus, will be the head man for game No. 3. The second game will be a split — Jay Harbaugh will run the show during the first half, while Mike Hart will call the shots in the second half. It's weird, but it's very on brand for Harbaugh. As for the opener, Minter is excited to be in charge and seemed supremely confident during his Monday afternoon press conference. His defensive players are obviously very excited for their guy and he's as sharp as they come, giving the players confidence as well. Eastern Carolina is no slouch, but the Wolverines are favored by 35.5 and should roll to 1-0 even without two of their most important coaches.…

It's a lot of fun to be a Michigan football fan right now. The Wolverines are No. 2 in the country, loaded on both sides of the ball, possess one of the best overall coaching staffs in the entire country and get the hated Ohio State Buckeyes at home. It's hard to find a weakness on this team and there's depth like never before under Jim Harbaugh. All of that has the maize and blue looking like potential national champions in 2023. In the virtual world, EA Sports' college football game is set to come back next summer, which really makes you think about U-M's roster now and in the future. Discussing JJ McCarthy's throw power, Jaylen Harrell's pass rushing abilities and comparing Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards is a lot of fun. It's going to be very entertaining to play that game next summer, but it's going to be even more fun to watch the Wolverines in real life this fall.…

Michigan football is officially back. The Wolverines kicked off fall camp on August 2 and will obviously take the field a month later in the season opener against Eastern Carolina. Jim Harbaugh was chipper and confident while in Indianapolis for Big Ten Media Days because he knows he has a TEAM. He's got key guys in key place, fantastic leadership on the roster and arguably the best overall staff in the entire country. To say that Michigan is poised for a major run in 2023 is an understatement. Yet for some reason, several major outlets and talking heads still have Ohio State at the top of the pile in the Big Ten. Michigan has dominated the Buckeyes for two straight years and appear to have the horses and the scheme to do it again in Ann Arbor. Ohio State, on the other hand, is breaking in a new quarterback and has a few question marks on the depth chart. It's going to be real interesting to see where the two teams are in November, but right now Michigan is the top dog and it's not close.…

Whether it was new Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule talking about making the Huskers great again, Luke Fickell discussing what made Wisconsin an attractive job, Ryan Day looking a little less confident than he used to or Jim Harbaugh proudly taking the stage as the back-to-back defending Big Ten champ, media days in Indianapolis went off without a hitch. All 14 coaches took to the main stage and then broke out for their individual sessions, along with players from every program except Northwestern, in what has become the kickoff event for the football season. Topics like the Michigan/Michigan State rivalry, potentially moving "The Game", the "Beat Georgia" drill and everything in between were discussed at length while everyone was gathered in Indianapolis and now, for Michigan, it's just about getting things going (on July 2), remaining healthy and taking care of business, with or without Jim Harbaugh.…

Ep. 189: Josh Wallace, Olivier Nkamhoua, ECU Game On Peacock, Jim Harbaugh Passing Offense 51:02

for 2 years siden51:02

51:02

Over the past couple of weeks, both Michigan basketball and football reeled in a player from the transfer portal that could help in a major way during the upcoming season. For Juwan Howard, it was Olivier Nkamhoua. The former Tennessee Volunteer is expected to contribute in a major way as a 6-9, 236-pound, high-energy, do-it-all kind of player. Last year, he was the lone Volunteer to play in all 36 games and had career-bests in scoring (10.8 ppg), assists (2.0 apg) and minutes played (25.3 mpg). On the gridiron, Michigan landed UMass transfer cornerback Josh Wallace, who has played more than 2,000 snaps of college football. He's expected to start opposite Will Johnson and might just shore up the one spot on U-M's defense that wasn't rock solid. As for Michigan's offense, it might showcase JJ McCarthy and the pass catchers a bit more in 2023 than in 2022. Jim Harbaugh recently stated that last year's offense was a 50/50 run-pass split. This year, Harbaugh said things might be more like 60/40 in favor of the pass. If that happens, cool, if not, Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards are certainly ready to carry the load.…

Michigan basketball took another hit, this time a big one, as incoming transfer Caleb Love has decided not to come to Ann Arbor. Whether it's because of academics, admissions or because Love simply doesn't want to play for Juwan Howard doesn't really matter. What matters, is that he's not going to wear the maize and blue and the roster without him is quite unimpressive. Now, Howard has a small handful of scholarships to use before the upcoming season. On the gridiron, Jim Harbaugh's program is humming along like a well-oiled machine. He has the No. 1 recruiting class in the entire country for the 2024 cycle, he just added Bo Schembechler's son to his staff (do with that what you want) and he's got one of the most complete and loaded rosters in the entire country.…

1:29:49

Hunter Dickinson is no longer a Wolverine — the big center made it official by committing to Kansas. The fact that he's gone isn't a surprise and where he ultimately ended up really isn't either when you consider his reasoning. Upon leaving Michigan, Dickinson dished on what he made as a student athlete under the new NIL allowances now in place and it's pretty paltry compared to what stars are getting at other schools. Dickinson will now attempt to capitalize on his name, image and likeness while in a Jayhawks uniform, which he'll more than likely be able to do at a higher level than in a U-M fit. On the football front, Jim Harbaugh is still killing it in every way. The 2024 recruiting class is No. 1 in the country and just added another very nice piece, the returning roster is one of the most talented and experienced ones in the entire country and his not-so-young quarterback is starting to pop up on draft boards as analysts and scouts dive deeper into just what JJ McCarthy is as a quarterback.…

Now former Michigan big man Hunter Dickinson appeared on a podcast ahead of his decision and didn't really say much. Of course, we now know that Dickinson will play at Kansas next year, but at the time of this episode, we talked about his impact at Michigan, what he might do at a new school and what his overall legacy is as a Wolverine. We also touch on the rest of U-M's roster a bit now that Dickinson is now gone. On the gridiron, things are humming a long as well as they have under Jim Harbaugh. Michigan is just one of two teams in the entire Big Ten with ZERO questions marks at quarterback. With that in mind, it's easy to understand why U-M is going to be the favorite in the Big Ten after winning two titles in a row. Michigan has even moved into the No. 2 spot of ESPN's power rankings behind only Georgia. All in all, Harbaugh has things rolling and he shows no signs of slowing down.…

Jim Harbaugh has things absolutely humming right now, despite a few recent losses via the transfer portal. On the basketball side of things, the portal is still a factor as well. Both programs have benefitted from the portal, but recently we've seen players from both sports decide to look around a bit. Harbaugh has been killing it with the transfer portal, and he's doing the same thing on the recruiting trail as of late. Right now, per 247 Sports, Michigan has the No. 1 overall recruiting class in the country, headlined by five-star quarterback Jadyn Davis and recent addition, four-star tight end Brady Prieskorn. Across the class, Michigan is adding talent while filling just about every position on the field.…

Hunter Dickinson is currently in the portal, but for how long and where will he end up? There's now smoke that Dickinson might actually return to Michigan. We shall see... When it comes to the football program, things are humming along. Michigan is scoring wins on the recruiting trail and will likely score at least 11 of them on the field in 2023.

1:16:36

Michigan's spring game ended up being one of the more entertaining versions in recent memory with the Maize Team edging out the Blue Team, 22-21, after a late-game two-point conversion call by head coach Mike Hart. After the game, Hart touched on some of the developments of the game, one of them being the performance of his freshman running back Benjamin Hall. All in all, the game was a hit, even though many big time Wolverines were watching from the sidelines. A bunch of surefire contributors sat out of the spring game, which isn't awesome, but it did give everyone a chance to see some lesser known players on a bigger stage. One thing is for certain — this team is loaded. Jim Harbaugh has done a phenomenal job building the roster and should absolutely be recognized and applauded for the near-miraculous turnaround since the disappointing 2-4 season. After beating Ohio State, winning the Big Ten title and making the College Football Playoff for two years in a row, that strange 2020 season seems like ages ago. Now, Harbaugh might have his best team ever heading into 2023.…

Michigan advanced in the first round of the NIT after beating a solid Toledo team by 10, but Jett Howard opted out and the team just didn't look overly excited to be playing, at least early on. However, they got it together and now they'll face Vanderbilt in Nashville tomorrow. That'll be the real test in terms of who wants to play and who is just going through the motions. As for football, we are getting closer and closer to Michigan's April 1 spring game. With that looming, U-M fans are excited to see some new faces and some familiar ones potentially doing new things. It's going to be vanilla, as always, but it's still football in The Big House in April. We all know that Michigan is loaded and will be a force in 2023, so watching the Wolverines in any capacity right now is going to be a nice sight.…

Michigan basketball is in a weird place right now. As the No. 3-seeded Wolverines gear up to take on Toledo in the first round of the NIT Tournament, fans of the program don't know what to think. If Michigan runs the table and wins the NIT, cool. It's always good to end your season on a win, but no one is going to be very excited about winning that tourney. On the flip side, if Michigan loses tomorrow, or early in the NIT, it's only going to add to the angst that is U-M hoops right now. On the gridiron, things are going considerably better. Jim Harbaugh has his program humming as many big time prospects are swinging through Ann Arbor right now. We're only about two weeks away from the spring game and the roster could not be in better shape as the Wolverines look to three-peat as Big Ten champs and return to the College Football Playoff before it expands to 12 teams in 2024, which we talk at length about.…

Michigan basketball has been very up and down all year but the Big Ten Tournament was still there for them to make a statement and a run. With those ups and downs this year, that has been some talk about Juwan Howard's ability as a head coach and some have even started to use the words "hot seat" when referring ot his position at U-M. On the gridiron, things could not be in better shape. Jim Harbaugh has the Michigan football machine humming and 2023 could be even more special than 2021 and 2022, which is really saying something. If the Wolverines can win against Ohio State again and bring home a third straight Big Ten title, advance to the playoffs and play for a national title, the word elite is going to be attached to the program for the first time in a long time, and deservedly so. We talk about all things football as the program marches through spring practice in preparation for the April 1 spring game.…

Michigan basketball is slowly working its way back onto the bubble after beating Michigan State and Rutgers in impressive fashion. They're not there yet, but Joe Lunardi does have them back on the graphic. It's going to be fun to see how this team finishes the season. On the gridiron, Jim Harbaugh and Co. have a couple of spring practices in the book and already have seen some nice things. The O-line is as deep as ever, the cornerback position looks and feels exciting and the Wolverines are very clearly the kings of the Big Ten at this point based on Vegas odds and overall predictions in the conference.…

We're in the thick of the offseason when it comes to college football but things are still happening around Ann Arbor. Jim Harbaugh is back for good, for now, and he's made a few new hires that appear to have improved his already stellar staff. The 2023 recruiting class is now all set and several of those guys are already in Ann Arbor as Wolverines. All of that provides a little bit of excitement as spring football is just a handful of days away, with the spring game scheduled for April 1. On the hardwood, Michigan has now won three games in a row with plenty of quad 1 opportunities coming up, staring with a home game against Indiana on Saturday. Nobody has U-M in the tournament right now, but these final seven regular season games of the year are just what the Wolverines need to bolster the resume in a hurry. Juwan Howard's seat isn't warm yet, but a heating coil is installed.…
