Michigan might always be known as a football school, but no one could blame the university’s students and fans if basketball has momentarily commandeered the top spot in their hearts. The No. 2 Wolverines blitzed Nebraska on Wednesday to improve to 16-0 behind their dynamic backcourt and the strength of their home crowd.
