target="_blank"> Shawn Hunwick stands tall one last time for Michigan hockey team and more NCAA tournament notes
Pete Cunningham • AnnArbor.com
Hunwick had 21 saves in the Wolverines' 3-2 loss to Cornell, including one on a penalty shot in the second period that kept Michigan in the game and kept the Wolverines in position to come back, but he didn't steal the game like he has so many times in the past.

Nick Baumgardner • AnnArbor.com
The anchor of a secondary that returns intact this season, Kovacs said his new role as elder statesmen just seems second nature at this point.

target="_blank"> Should Trey Burke stay in school, or leave early? A look at both sides
Nick Baumgardner • AnnArbor.com
Should he stay? Should he go? That's for he and his family to decide, and they have every right to explore both avenues. Here's a case for both sides of the coin:

Mark Snyder • The Detroit Free Press
Though many boil it down to his projected selection status, either from conversations with league personnel, the NBA general managers' advisory committee or outsiders the family trusts, the choice is more layered.

Not a bad resume.

Detroit Cass Tech has been known to send many of its top football players to Michigan, but until recently, that was not the case for Farmington Hills (Mich.) Harrison. Linebacker Gary Hosey has seen both sides, playing his sophomore year of football at Harrison, but transferring to Cass Tech this winter, where he'll play as a junior in 2012.

Michael Spath • TheWolverine.com
For the second time in a week, Michigan sports fans were reminded that being the favorite with high expectations doesn't mean anything in the NCAA Tournament if the Wolverines don't give their best effort. A lackluster performance did in the basketball team against Ohio and has now ended the hockey team's season too.
