EAST LANSING, Mich. — Candidly, Michigan basketball didn’t spend much time this week talking about the losing streaks. Yes, Dusty May and his basketball team were aware of the four-game skid to the Spartans.

Michigan star forward Yaxel Lendeborg led the charge by finishing with 26 points and 12 rebounds. The former UAB star recorded his fourth double-double of the season in the victory, while fellow transfer guard Elliot Cadeau scored nine of his 17 points in the second half.
