Detroit News writers James Hawkins and John Niyo break down Michigan's 61-47 win on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Wichita, Kan. – They waited all week. Then they waited all day.
And just when John Beilein’s Michigan Wolverines finally started playing late Thursday night – really playing, not just flailing around like a team being mauled by Grizzlies in the wild – they were forced to wait again.
So call this delayed gratification, I guess. Or call it something unprintable, if you prefer. But when the wait was finally over, and the game was, too, that was really the best thing about any of it.
