Fighting Illini forward Maverick Morgan labeled the Wolverines "traditionally a white collar team" after thumping them, 85-69, 10 days prior in Champaign.
So, senior forward Zak Irvin requested Michigan wear blue jerseys rather than the traditional home whites, and Coach John Beilein gave the blue-collar symbolism his blessing.
He also smiled Saturday afternoon (Jan. 21) when assistant coach Billy Donlon's locker room graffiti was mentioned.
