ARLINGTON, Texas — A few hours after Michigan’s 87-85 overtime win over Kansas on Friday night, a pair of Wolverines flipped on the television set in their room at the Dallas Sheraton hotel. Late into the night, they watched “SportsCenter” replays of Trey Burke’s 30-foot 3-pointer that shifted the momentum in a victory that catapulted Michigan into the Elite Eight for the first time since 1994. “I can’t believe this,” Mitch McGary said to Glenn Robinson III.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Seven-foot Kansas center Jeff Withey couldn’t help but do a double-take when he spotted Michigan’s Mitch McGary in the bowels of Cowboys Stadium Friday. “He’s not as tall as I thought,” Withey said of the 6-foot-10 McGary. “But he definitely looks strong.” Indeed, McGary — who had started just two games all season before last week — has been one of the top performers in the NCAA tournament thus far.

Denard Robinson never won a Heisman Trophy during his career, but he did win another popular vote that might resonate even more with his peers. EA Sports announced Tuesday that Robinson prevailed in fan voting to become the cover boy for its “NCAA Football ‘14″ video game. The former Michigan quarterback edged out ex-Texas A&M receiver Ryan Swope after more than five million votes were cast during the fan balloting stages on Facebook. EA Sports announced Robinson’s victory here.

Mark Dantonio has seen two of his former Michigan State assistants — Dan Enos (Central Michigan) and Don Treadwell (Miami University) — leave for head-coaching positions elsewhere. There’s an assumption that Dantonio eventually will lose a third aide, longtime defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, to a top job elsewhere. Michigan State has taken steps to keep Narduzzi in East Lansing, doubling his salary last year after Texas A&M courted him and promoting him to assistant head coach on Monday.

What we learned from the seven Big Ten bowl games: 1. Need for speed (and skill): The narrative about the Big Ten being slow is tiresome and oversimplified. But the bowls showed it’s not entirely inaccurate. Whether it was Michigan struggling to contain South Carolina’s Ace Sanders, Minnesota getting burned by Texas Tech’s passing game, Wisconsin desperately lacking a game-breaker versus Stanford or whatever it was Purdue attempted to do against Oklahoma State, the bowl games exposed a need for several teams to increase their overall athleticism at the skill positions.
