ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan basketball coach John Beilein and Michigan State's Tom Izzo are friendly rivals. There will be Big Ten title and NCAA Tournament seeding implications when the seventh-ranked Wolverines play the No. 10 Spartans. As much as Beilein and Izzo like and respect each other, the highly competitive coaches want to beat each other every time they get a chance. Izzo has not always had a good relationship with Michigan coaches during his 24-season run as coach or his 12 seasons as an assistant.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska coach Tim Miles has apologized for a remark he made on a podcast. Miles was discussing how he and his family have dealt with media and fan speculation about his future with the Cornhuskers.
