ANN ARBOR, Mich. — When the Michigan men's basketball team got together on Monday — one day after the postgame mayhem at Wisconsin — Phil Martelli addressed the group.
In 48 hours, the Wolverines would face a surging Rutgers squad without head coach Juwan Howard, starting forward Moussa Diabate and reserve forward Terrance Williams II, who were all suspended for their involvement in Sunday's ugly altercation.
"He just talked about how we can't replace Coach Juwan, we can't replace Moussa, we can't replace Terrance," freshman forward Caleb Houstan said of Martelli's message.
