Michigan's John Beilein: Good road teams need star more than system

As Michigan enters the final week of the Big Ten basketball regular season, the road nemesis awaits.

The Wolverines head on the road for the final two games, at Northwestern on Wednesday and Nebraska on Sunday.

Neither is a power home team but Michigan's road record is just 2-7, with the wins over RPI No. 89 Indiana and No. 173 Rutgers.

When asked on his Monday radio show what makes a strong road team, Beilein spoke more about an emerging incarnation of his team, the one that is starting to embrace his season-long mantra: Don't think.
