From the Detroit Free Press: A perfect ending
Mitch Albom on Tigers' Opening Day
A perfect ending
Time to forget the harsh winter;
old and new deliver a grand day
Mitch Albom
The manager's hair is no longer white. The starting lineup now includes an Ian, a Nick and a Rajai. The second baseman is new, the third baseman is new, the first baseman is no longer a bearded Prince (although he does have a contract fit for a king). And, until the game started Monday afternoon, very few people knew who was playing shortstop.
But they knew it by the end.

From the Detroit Free Press: '�Out-of-body' performance will sting for a long time
NEW YORK -Keith Appling sat silently by his locker inside Madison Square Garden, his hands clasped over his eyes. He could have been praying, crying or hiding. He had reason to do all three.
"I just feel like I let everybody down," he whispered. "We let everybody down." Minutes earlier, he still had been a college basketball player, bent at the knee, ready to defend, hoping his team could overcome the monster of its mistakes and still, somehow, reach the Final Four.

From the Detroit Free Press: U-M and MSU create a State of Euphoria
The Blues have it. No. Wait. The Greens. The Greens have it, don't they? Or is it the Blues? Well, the beauty of today's basketball feast is that we don't have to pick. Michigan can win. Michigan State can win. There is no "either." There is no "or."
The never-before might happen by tonight. Our two biggest college basketball programs could reach the Final Four - together.
How's that for a "state" of affairs?
