…INDIANAPOLIS — The No. 10 Michigan women’s basketball team has lost four of its last six games. It’s time for the Wolverines to start worrying. Worrying about their chances of returning to the Sweet 16. Worrying about their crumbling defense, once the team’s backbone. Worrying about their struggle to find offensive consistency. Entering the Big Ten Tournament, it seemed as if Michigan would be hun- gry for revenge. Droppi...…

…During a workshop I participated in last summer, we were each asked to share our “immigration story.” I didn’t end up sharing with the group as I didn’t necessarily feel like I had much to say: My parents immigrated here from South Korea in the late ’90s, and I was born and raised in the U.S. End of story, at least on my end.

…F or people who write regu- larly, one of the most dis- heartening experiences is that of “writer’s block.” It is an un- pleasant feeling, to say the least. No matter how hard I try, the words do not come. Or, they come in fits and starts, only to be censored before they reach the page. Words, the building blocks of the written product, seem to reside somewhere in my mind. They float around up there, waiting for me to scoop them ...…

…In an extraordinary year, the Michigan hockey team looked like it might make it to the end. Everything the world could have thrown at the Wolverines, it did. An insanely long offseason.

Sitting as a two seed and the No. 8 team in ...…

The last shot in Michigan’s historic season was a missed 3-point attempt. Junior wing Leigha Brown had less than one second to get the shot off. Down by three in overtime against Baylor, the shot determined whether the Wolverines’ season ended or if the team would compete in double overtime. She missed...…

…Just like that, the dream ended. Two hours earlier, the Michigan men’s basketball team hoped to be cutting down the nets en route to their second Final Four appearance in four years.

On one side, a dejected Michigan team shuffled off the floor and into the ...…

Her boss was required to close the restaurant due to ...…
