Michigan plods to 61-47 win over Montana in NCAA first round

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Michigan coach John Beilein didn't have to point out to his guys during the first media timeout of Thursday night's NCAA Tournament game against Montana that they had yet to score.

He didn't have to give them a blueprint for a comeback, either.

"Our huddle was like a normal huddle," he explained, "because I really trust these guys to know what's going on. We had to make some adjustments, hang in there, stay consistent with what we do.
