ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- After 10 minutes, Michigan had already made five 3-pointers, and when halftime arrived, the number was up to nine.By the time the game ended, the Wolverines had set a school record from beyond the arc. Two of them, in fact.We knew they were going to play a matchup 2/3 zone going into the game, so we knew we were going to have a lot of opportunities to have open 3s, Michigans Zak Irvin said. Thats what were known for -- kind of a zone buster-type team.Irvin scored 16 points, and Michigan made a school-record 19 3-pointers in a 97-53 rout of Central Arkansas on Tuesday night. The Wolverines also set a school record with 45 attempts from 3-point range, easily handling that zone.Michigan (8-3) even made its first 11 field goal attempts from inside the arc -- its first miss from there didnt come until early in the second half.Jordan Howard scored 14 points for Central Arkansas (1-9). The Bears have played only one home game all season.I didnt think that we came out with the focus and energy, Central Arkansas coach Russ Pennell said. This is our Super Bowl. If you cant get excited playing at a place like this and against this type of competition, you dont need to be playing Division I basketball. So were trying to change a culture, and sometimes youve got to get your backside kicked pretty good in order to get their attention.Moe Wagner had 18 points and seven rebounds for Michigan. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman scored 14 points and Duncan Robinson added 12. Irvin, Abdur-Rahkman and Robinson made four 3-pointers each.The Wolverines broke the school record of 17 3-pointers in a game when Ibi Watson connected from the left wing with 3:58 to play. By then, Michigan had gone deep into its bench.The previous school record for 3-pointers came against Bryant on Dec. 23, 2015, and the record for attempts was 42, set Dec. 22, 2008 against Florida Gulf Coast.BIG PICTURECentral Arkansas: The Bears have played a tough schedule, and games like this are about trying to show improvement. In that sense, it may have been beneficial for Central Arkansas to test its zone against Michigans sharp shooters -- but that matchup didnt make for a particularly competitive game.Michigan: The Wolverines were coming off a 102-84 loss at UCLA. They did as they pleased offensively against Central Arkansas with little resistance from the Bears, and Michigan can be fairly happy with its defense in the first half, when the Wolverines allowed only 20 points.PLEASEDMichigan coach John Beilein often goes out of his way to compliment opponents. That was a tough sell after his team routed Central Arkansas so easily, but he pointed out that the Bears took Arkansas-Little Rock down to the wire. Also, their loss at Butler earlier this month was reasonably competitive until the last 10 minutes.We caught them at the right time, Beilein said. Weve got a lot of guys who can make shots from the outside, so a zone sometimes can be a tough defense to play against us, and our kids really played well.TOUGH ROADBeilein was also happy about how his team played coming off the long trip back from the game at UCLA on Saturday.Were in exams, too, Beilein said. We had three papers due today.UP NEXTCentral Arkansas: The Bears return home to face in-state rival Arkansas State on Friday night.Michigan: The Wolverines continue an easier stretch of their schedule with a home game against Maryland-Eastern Shore on Saturday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Nick Buoniconti Jersey .

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned?

PITTSBURGH -- A late-game turnover by rookie wide receiver Tyler Boyd in the Cincinnati Bengals 24-16 loss to the Steelers on Sunday was the correct call, according to NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino.Boyd lost the football while attempting to secure a catch with the Bengals driving in an attempt to tie the game at the two-minute warning. Several Bengals, including Boyd, thought his knee hit the ground before the ball came out.Because the call on the field was a fumble, there wasnt enough evidence to overturn it, Blandino said in a video on his Twitter account.Were looking at two things here: Were looking first at whether this is a catch. Control with two feet, starts to turn upfield, tucks the ball away, we do have a catch, Blandino said.He continued: The second part were looking at is whether that right knee is down before the ball starts to come loose. You can see on the live shot, its not definitive. You can see the knee down; you cant tell if the ball was loose based on this angle.Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said after the game that he was told by officials that Boyd was down before the call was reviewed and upheld.They didnt see it that way overall, so thats all tthat matters, Lewis said.ddddddddddddBlandino said the evidence must be clear and obvious to overturn the initial ruling. It was close, he said, but not enough to change the call under review.We get several replays, and here you can see the knee was down but you cant see the football, Blandino said. You can see the knee here, but the problem is were blocked from seeing the football by the defenders legs.Blandino said video showed Boyds knee and the football coming down simultaneously, which didnt allow the call to be overturned.If its not clear and obvious the call on the field is incorrect, then the call will stand, he said. Just as that knee hits, the ball may start coming loose. Its extremely close, [but] the ruling on the field stands.The fumble tarnished a day in which Boyd caught six passes for 78 yards.It just hurts so bad, because you practice and perform and do ball security and things like that, Boyd said. You practice everything so much day by day. You just feel like it cant happen on game day. But were all human. ... That right there just crushed me. ' ' '
