John Beilein, Michigan, and the daunting task of calming a national championship loser

SAN ANTONIO -- Michigan entered Monday's game having won 14 in a row. If the streak had reached 15, a significant trophy would have been added to the Crisler Center display. One of the best plays John Beilein has ever drawn up is getting the Wolverines to embrace both of those facts simultaneously.

It's called perspective, and Beilein can access it as quickly as it takes to get through the post-game handshake line.

His attitude rubbed off on his players and staff as they tried to process coming one win short of a national championship.

Sophomore Jon Teske summarized Beilein's speech to the team Monday night after the 79-62 loss to Villanova.
