MADISON, Wis. — The Michigan basketball contingent shuffled into the media room inside Kohl Center on Sunday for the most unusual of news conferences after a fight broke loose in the postgame handshake line.
Head coach Juwan Howard had struck Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in the face to spark a brawl following what he believed was an unnecessary timeout by the Badgers in the waning seconds of a game in which the outcome already had been decided.
