Ann Arbor, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Spike Albrecht totaled 11 points and a career-high nine assists with no turnovers off the bench as No. 17 Michigan held off Syracuse, 68-65, in this installment of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Albrecht, who became a household name when he scored 17 first-half points against Louisville in the National Championship game two years ago, broke a 63-63 deadlock when he stepped into an NBA range 3-pointer with 31 seconds to play. Its really hard to go to one person against that zone, said Michigan head coach John Beilein. We tried to get an action that would allow us to get a ball screen ... somebody was going to have to make a big shot, but it was a very simple scheme that worked for us. Michael Gbinije got a quick two at the other end, and Syracuse (5-2) had two chances to take a lead after Michigan missed two free throws but squandered both. Chris McCullough, who secured Derrick Waltons miss from the line, overthrew Kaleb Joseph on his outlet pass. LeVert then missed the front end of a 1-and-1, but Joseph lost the ball on a drive to the basket. LeVert sank two with 4.5 to play, and Josephs final look from 3 hit nothing but air as the clock expired. Zak Irvin led Michigan (6-1) with 18 points while LeVert and Ricky Doyle scored 12 apiece. The Wolverines improved to 5-0 at home this season. Trevor Cooney and Rakeem Christmas had 16 and 15 points, respectively, in the setback. McCullough finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Michigan started 0-for-7 from the floor before Kameron Chatman finally hit a jumper from the free throw line. That bucket sparked a 9-0 Wolverines run, with Irvin canning a 3 and throwing down a dunk in transition during the spurt. Gbinije then capped an 8-0 Orange run with a three-point play. It was 12-9 at that point, and neither team led by more than three during the rest of a back- and-forth first half. Christmas followed another Irvin dunk with a three-point play at the other end, and Syracuse led 31-29 at halftime. It was a tale of two halves for Michigans outside shooting. The Maize and Blue struggled to find the range in the opening 20 minutes, shooting just 3- for-17 from the arc before erupting for 8-of-16 in the second half. Albrecht came alive early in the second half. He had a hand in 12 straight points for the Wolverines. The junior hit a 3, assisted on triples by Walton and Irvin, and went behind the back to set up Doyles three-point play. Cooney hit a pair of treys during that run to keep Syracuse close. We made some adjustments at the half and we played much better the second half, Albrecht said. Albrecht then potted another long 3-pointer and assisted on two more baskets, including Irvins fourth 3 of the game, and the Wolverines went up 58-48 with seven minutes to play. Syracuse used an 11-3 run from there to close the gap to two. Cooney hit twice from behind the arc and McCullough scored four points during the spurt that forced Michigan to use a timeout. With 56 seconds remaining, Christmas tied the game with an uncontested layup. Game Notes Walton returned after missing one game with a toe injury ...

Two weeks ago, police in Alberta seized nearly $10 million worth of steroids in a string of raids at five locations in Edmonton. Four people were arrested in what authorities say is the biggest illegal steroid seizure ever by Canadian police, who took into custody 350,000 tablets, 10,500 vials and 124 kilograms worth of raw steroid powder. TSN has learned that days after the bust, CCES officials contacted Edmonton police to ask whether they have obtained a customer list. Edmonton police inspector Darcy Strang told TSN that his officers have obtained ledger documents and one laptop computer, which will be searched alongside other evidence in coming months. Strang said police worked on the investigation since May and used three search warrants to gather evidence, including a pill press, glassware and beakers worth more than $100,000. The drugs were imported from China, Strang said. He declined to say how they were smuggled into Canada. Its unclear whether the Canada Border Services Agency is investigating. Strang said hes not sure when police will scrutinize the paper trail and laptop. Our priority is to get the drugs processed, he said in an interview. As for a potential customer list, Strang said, we havent gotten to that yet. We will look at whatever we have. If we have professional athletes on the list, I dont really know, actually, what would happen with that. Police allege that the steroids were being sold in person and over the Internet to customers in cities as far away as St. Johns, Newfoundland. Strang said its unlikely that the alleged dealers were selling directly to customers at colleges and universities. If any post-secondary school students were buyers, they may have had the drugs shipped to someone at least one step removed from campus, Strang said. There may be a layer of secrecy there, he said. Policee have not presented evidence that any college or university athletes bought illegal steroids from the Edmonton criminal ring and in Canada, it is not illegal to possess steroids, but it is illegal to import them or possess them for the purpose of trafficking.dddddddddddd The Edmonton bust comes months after three top Canadian college football prospects tested positive for banned performance-enhancing drugs at a CFL-sanctioned training camp. In August, the University of Manitoba confirmed that former defensive player Ranji Atwall was among those who tested positive. The names of the other players have not yet been disclosed. Similar worries prompted the University of Saskatchewan to test its entire football team, a test that caught another drug cheat, lineman Jordan Arkko, who tested positive for human growth hormone, another banned substance that is tougher to detect than traditional steroids. Critics have called college football in Canada a Wild West where players game the system without fear of being caught. Thats because there are 11,000 athletes competing in Canadian university sports, but only enough money to administer 200 drug tests per year. In 2010, the University of Waterloo suspended its football program after a wave of players were discovered using steroids. There was a brief period when drug testing across Canada increased, but it has since reversed course. CCES chief executive Paul Melia declined to comment on whether his staff are investigating the Edmonton bust. He said all such investigations are confidential. But Melia did say his agency has hired two full-time staff within the past months who are tasked with building relationships with police and other law enforcement officials. Prior to the Edmonton arrests, the largest steroid seizure in Canada was in 2008 when Quebec police seized 400,000 tablets from a home north of Montreal, stumbling on the drugs while investigating a domestic disturbance call. Police at the time said they believed those drugs were destined for amateur weightlifters. ' ' '
