Updates from Michigan basketball vs. Indiana Hoosiers

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The last time that Michigan basketball took the court at home, at Crisler Center, the Wolverines lost their first game of the season, with a feisty Wisconsin team taking them down. Since, the maize and blue had a successful West Coast trip, having beaten both Washington and Oregon on their home court. But now, the Michigan basketball team is back in Crisler, with hopes that it can best a very good Indiana team.

Indiana enters the contest at 3-4 in the Big Ten and 12-6 overall. The Wolverines are third in the conference with a 6-1 record, at 16-1 overall, and ranked third in the country.

How will the home team fare? Tipoff is at 7 p.m. EST. Follow along live with updates and analysis.

Under-16 media timeout – first half

Michigan turns IU over to start things off. Got some good offensive rebounding and multiple chances on the first offensive possession. Center Aday Mara got away with a bit of a travel on the first score, misses two free throw attempts on the second possession. Elliot Cadeau hits a 3 to put U-M up 5-0. Cadeau drives the lane to put Michigan up 7-0.

Meanwhile, IU is completely out of rhythm to start the game, hoisting contested 3s that are nowhere close. The Wolverine defense is definitely keeping the Hoosiers from doing much of anything, but their own defense has also kept the maize and blue from scoring at will.

Under-12 media timeout – first half

IU still cannot get much of anything going. To some degree, the Wolverines are playing a little too fast trying to put the Hoosiers away early. A couple of turnovers have negated some momentum as a result.

Cadeau continues to be the entirety of the Michigan offense, essentially, having scored 7 of the Wolverines’ 9. IU finally gets on the board with a floater, to make the deficit 9-2. A turnover on Michigan’s end (Roddy Gayle Jr. was stripped) and a foul on the other end allows the Hoosiers to score two more. But Cadeau answers with his second 3 of the game to put Michigan up 12-4.

Yaxel Lendeborg still not quite looking to be full strength.

IU is so disjointed that even a breakaway didn’t work for it. Will Tschetter did a good job of hustling back and getting in front of the ball carrier, and then they missed the layup. Trey McKenney hit a 3 on the other end to put Michigan up 17-4 with 11:43 remaining in the first half.

Under-eight media timeout – first half

Michigan opens the foray with its third block of the game before LJ Cason drives the basket and scores underneath to put U-M up 19-4. A Sam Alexis free throw adds a point for IU, but he gets his second personal foul on the other end with 9:58 remaining in the half. That allowed McKenney to hit his second 3 of the game, but IU answers with a 3 of its own and a layup. Tschetter stops the five-point run by tacking on a 3 of his own and plays excellent defense on the other end of the floor. IU converts another 3, but Nimari Burnett hits another on Michigan’s end, and it’s 28-13 going into the media timeout.

Michigan is shooting 57% from the floor, including 50% from 3. Indiana? 22%.

Update: Morez Johnson Jr. torn jersey

He’ll wear No. 51 for the rest of the game.

Under-four media timeout – first half

IU hits two free throws to cut the deficit to 13 (game high was Michigan by 17). Johnson is fouled on what almost was a beautiful alley-oop, misses his first free throw, but converts his second. IU hits a 3 and is starting to find an offensive rhythm. Yaxel Lendeborg turns it over, but so does IU. Aday Mara gets a not-so-pretty alley-oop from Johnson, but IU has now hit five of its last five field goal attempts, now shooting 30%. Michigan is getting stymied with six turnovers to this point, but they’re also outrebounding Indiana 17-5. The Hoosiers hit another 3, and suddenly it’s an eight-point game.

Lendeborg hits a floater to put Michigan back up by 10. The Hoosiers finally miss a shot but the Wolverines turn it over for a seventh time. Michigan 33, Indiana 23.

Final four minutes – first half

An Indiana turnover (its fourth) leads to a Michigan turnover (its eighth). Cadeau misses a free throw attempt but gets the ball back and puts it up. It rims out, but it’s put back by Johnson. It was initially called an offensive goaltend, but Michigan challenged it and it was overturned.

IU scores on the other end, but Tschetter hit yet another 3 to put Michigan back up by 13. After IU scored via two free throws, Cadeau danced through the lane to get a layup as time expired, to put Michigan up 40-29, going into the half.

Michigan’s Nick Baumgartner trains for Olympics on homemade backyard snowboard track

Michigan’s Nick Baumgartner trains for Olympics on homemade backyard snowboard track

Many Olympians train in world-class facilities, but gold medalist Nick Baumgartner simply walks into his own backyard.

At 44 years old, Team USA’s oldest athlete from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is chasing another Olympic Games—not with fancy equipment or world-class coaches, but with grit, experience, and a snowboard track he carved with his own two hands.

On a quiet, snowy street just outside Iron River, where harsh winters are a way of life, sits a house with a yard that doubles as a snowboard track.

“Alright, it’s time to do Olympic training, Bates Township edition,” said Baumgartner.

No chairlift. No groomers. The sponsor’s logo is on a propane tank.

Just a snow shovel, a chainsaw, and a 44-year-old snowboarder who built his own course by hand.

“I put in 20 to 30 hours building this track at my home. And when it’s all done, it’s a heck of a place to train right outside my door,” Baumgartner said.

Every day on Nick Baumgartner Way, he straps in and drops down his homemade track—every bump and turn carved himself. His mantra is simple: outwork everyone.

When asked if he thought anybody outworked him, Baumgartner said, “Absolutely not. I’m sure there are a few of them that do the same amount of work as me, and they’re doing everything they can, but no one’s outworking me.”

Baumgartner is the oldest athlete on the U.S. snowboard cross team—by far.

He’s old enough to be the father of some of the guys he races with.

“The older I get, the more people say, ‘Aw, he’s not a threat this time. He’s not a threat this time.’ Fall asleep on me. See what happens?” Baumgartner said.

Most mountain athletes slow down in their 30s, but Nick won gold at 40.

“This thing does not live on the mantle. This lives in my pocket, in my backpack, or the console of my truck,” Baumgartner said, referring to his gold medal.

Getting to the top of the podium for Team Snowboard Cross in Beijing helped fund his career, but it wasn’t always like that.

“It’s funny. I was working for a concrete company out of Green Bay, Wisconsin,” Baumgartner said, recalling how he supported himself and his son before snowboarding was even an Olympic sport.

Baumgartner’s training doesn’t stop in his backyard.

To build the strength he’ll need for the upcoming Olympics in Italy, he makes the long drive to Marquette, where the work looks different, but the mindset stays the same.

Out-train the competition. Inside advantage training includes intense squat racks and sprinting sessions.

Baumgartner knows he has the advantage—as the “old man”—working out with guys half his age.

“As long as nothing pops, we love it,” Baumgartner said.

He’s the one who’s been there, fallen short, but always gotten back up.

“The last thing I want to do is come around these young kids and look old. So I work a little bit harder, and then when I can come here, and I can test some of these kids, it pushes them as well,” Baumgartner said.

Always turning limitation into an edge, Baumgartner cross-trains with mountain biking, surfing, and other activities.

After decades in a sport built on speed, Baugartner has proven something true: sometimes the longest and most difficult path in life often leads to the highest peak.

And sometimes, it starts in your own backyard.

Baumgartner does train on professional courses, but he built his home course to make sure no one outworks him.

He does at least ten laps on his course every day as part of his training regimen.

We should hear soon whether Baumgartner and his teammate, Jake Vedder from Pinckney, will represent the U.S. at the Olympics.

100 vehicles pile up in Michigan crash as snowstorm moves across the country

100 vehicles pile up in Michigan crash as snowstorm moves across the country

HUDSONVILLE, Mich. (AP) — More than 100 vehicles smashed into each other or slid off an interstate in Michigan on Monday as snow fueled by the Great Lakes blanketed the state.

The massive pileup prompted the Michigan State Police to close both directions of Interstate 196 Monday morning just southwest of Grand Rapids while officials worked to remove all the vehicles, including more than 30 semitrailer trucks. The State Police said there were numerous injuries, but no deaths had been reported.

Pedro Mata Jr. said he could barely see the cars in front of him as the snow blew across the road while driving 20-25 mph (32-40 kph) before the crash. He was able to stop his pickup safely, but then decided to pull his truck off the road into the median to avoid being hit from behind.

“It was a little scary just listening to everything, the bangs and booms behind you. I saw what was in front of me. I couldn’t see what was behind me exactly,” Mata said.

The crash is just the latest impact of the major winter storm moving across the country. The National Weather Service issued warnings about either extremely cold temperatures or the potential for winter storms across several states starting in northern Minnesota and stretching south and east into Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

A day earlier, snow fell as far south as the Florida Panhandle and made it harder for football players to hang onto the ball during playoff games in Massachusetts and Chicago. Forecasters warned Monday that freezing temperatures are possible overnight into Tuesday across much of north-central Florida and southeast Georgia.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s office in Michigan said multiple crashes and jack-knifed semis were reported along with numerous cars that slid off the road. Stranded motorists were being bused to Hudsonville High School, where they could call for help or arrange a ride.

Officials expected the road to be closed for several hours during the cleanup.

One of the companies helping remove the stranded cars, Grand Valley Towing, sent more than a dozen of its trucks to the scene of the chain-reaction crash. Several towing companies responded in the brutally cold weather.

“We’re trying to get as many vehicles out of there as quickly as possible, so we can get the road opened back up,” manager Jeff Westveld said.
