He scored 11 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked nine shots in less than three quarters of action. "Our defense has really been step- ping up," Teske said. "We're playing great team defense, and our three- pointers are falling." Teske made the trip to Ann Arbor for U-M's loss to New Jersey Insti- tute of Technology.

"We like Michigan, and we're just trying to get him out to see all the schools he likes before he has to make a decision." The list includes in-state Alabama and Auburn, Florida, North Carolina State, Missouri and others, and he's in no rush to make a decision. "I don't know when he'll decide," the elder Langford said.
