MICHIGAN BASKETBALL Michigan, showed Chris Webber 's infamous timeout, Evan Turner 's shot to beat the Wolverines in the Big Ten Tournament, and an unflattering portrayal of Michigan fans with the caption, "Pure Michigan" — a takeoff on the state slogan. Beilein was in the locker room when the OSU presented the video. He made sure he praised Ohio State fans on his "Inside Michigan Basket- ball" radio show, first of all.

I don't even remember the title of it, but it was a Michael Jordan biography.
