ANAHEIM, Calif. – Michigan coach John Beilein paced back and forth along the sideline, looking frustrated and feeling helpless.

Nothing was working for the Wolverines against Texas Tech on Thursday night in the Sweet 16. Balls were clanking off the rim. Or just missing everything. Nothing was going in. And the season ended in a whole bunch of ugly.

“It was a bad day to have a bad day against a really good Texas Tech team,” Beilein said, after the Red Raiders blew out the Wolverines, 63-44, in U-M's lowest-scoring performance in NCAA history.
