At the sports desk: favorite teams update

The Detroit Pistons defeated the Orlando Magic last night, 88-82.
That's a good win for the Pistons, given that the Magic came in on a 7 game winning streak.
The Pistons seems to be on an upswing now, winning with defense.

Meanwhile the University of Michigan men's hoops team won again, beating North Carolina Central 77-57. It was a game Dick Vitale would call a "cupcake" game--a game against a lesser opponent that of course Michigan should win. Still, it was U-M's 10th win of the season already. Last year, it took them an entire season just to win 10. And they seem to be playing consistently. Could an NCAA tourney bid be in Michigan's future?
