"These Wolverines are the first team — ever — to beat ranked teams by 30-plus points in back-to-back games.
It had never been done in men's Division I history."

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving from my redeye flight back to the East Coast. Here's one final column from Vegas, on the juggernaut that is Michigan. What I witnessed this week was literally record-breaking. A three-day regular-season performance unlike anything college basketball has ever seen.
Who's college hoops' best team? Michigan makes case in Players Era title romp
An emphatic message was sent in Las Vegas this week, as Dusty May's Wolverines set records and earned their perch for No. 1
