Blake Griffin Decides Finger Rolls Are Stupid, Throws Down Dunk
This play is impressive enough at full speed, thanks to Griffin's ability to momentarily transform into Clyde Drexler and go gliding through the sky for a breakaway dunk.

Taking A Charge Is Just The Worst
With 20 seconds left and Syracuse down two, Brandon Triche drove the lane and dropped off a sort of wild layup as Jordan Morgan slid underneath him. Triche was called for an offensive foul and Michigan got the ball back and eventually won the game. It did not decide the game so much as make a Michig...
Michigan Misses All The Free Throws, Wins Ugly Against Syracuse Anyway
A wire-to-wire (foul-fest, timeout-filled, commercial-break heavy) battle ended in Jim Boeheim making a number of very Jim Boeheim faces and a relatively easy call for the refs: Jordan Morgan taking a charge from Brandon Triche with 20 seconds left, which, in hindsight, finished off Syracuse.

Wrigley Field, the goat-themed cemetery where the past 105 seasons of Chicago Cubs baseball are buried, is finally getting an overhaul befitting the task at hand.
