Michigan's Robinson ruffled, not riled over loss of starting job

Ann Arbor — By no means is Michigan fifth-year senior co-captain Duncan Robinson thrilled with the recent lineup change that has him coming off the bench after freshman Isaiah Livers assumed his role in the starting five.

Livers has started the last two games and is expected to start when No. 23 Michigan (16-4, 5-2 Big Ten) plays at Nebraska (13-7, 4-3) Thursday night. This is the Wolverines’ second game in a stretch of three games within seven days. They defeated Maryland on Monday, 68-67, play at Nebraska, and then Rutgers on Sunday.

“If we get this win, it’s a hell of a win,” Michigan coach John Beilein said Wednesday of playing at the always packed Pinnacle Bank Arena where the Cornhuskers are 10-1 this season.
