SportsPulse: Michigan reflected on making the Final Four, and outed themselves as not knowing much about March Madness sensation and Loyola-Chicago team chaplain Sister Jean. USA TODAY Sports
LOS ANGELES — Michigan’s Isaiah Livers had blood on his jersey after the Wolverines beat Florida State 58-54 Saturday, and he was happy to explain after it apparently escaped the notice of the officials.
“At the end of the game I was boxing out and just got hit in the nose,’’ he told USA TODAY Sports.
Livers, a 6-foot-7 forward, said teammate Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman called the bleeding to Livers’ attention while Michigan’s Duncan Robinson stepped to the free throw line with the Wolverines leading 56-54 with 21 seconds left.
“I was like, ‘Oops,’ and I just put my nose through here (under his jersey),’’ said Livers, who had four rebounds and two points in 12 minutes. “I was trying to hide my nose the best I could so I didn’t have to come out.’’

The blood left stains on his jersey, but Livers said he managed to stop the bleeding before Robinson made both free throws, and Livers stayed on the court until the clock ran out and Michigan’s victory in the Elite Eight matchup of the NCAA tournament was official.
Had the referees noticed the bleeding and forced Livers out of the game, he said, Livers would have been replaced by 6-foot-11 junior Moe Wagner, who was on the bench with four fouls.
