COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- At last year's Big Ten Tournament, Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman was forced to wear pink sneakers, as they were his only pair not trapped inside Michigan's damaged team plane. With postseason play set to begin, the senior may have found a new fashion statement.
Donning glasses for the first time to prevent an eye injury, Abdur-Rahkman scored 28 points -- 22 in the first half -- in Saturday's 85-61 win over Maryland.
It can't be often that a team wins three Senior Day games in one week, but Michigan, winners of five straight games overall, pulled off the trick.
