While coach Borseth keeps supervising Michigan's turnaround, Matt Bollant in Green Bay is trying to fill Borseth's shoes. UWGB's Phoenix have won the Horizon League reg-season title, as usual-- but they came quite close to a bad loss on the way there.

Back in Michigan, Borseth's Wolverines have now won four out of five. Thursday they trashed Purdue: Sunday they got past Illinois after a manic late-game burst from Jessica Minfield, who finished with 25.

The M-Go-Blues nonconference record has no bad losses, and wins over not-so-good teams from the Pac-10, ACC, and SEC. They'll need to look good in the Big Ten tournament to get a ticket to the Big Dance-- but it could happen. In this year's Big Ten, anything could.
