Just an FYI on the Michigan "point differential" rule:

When a team obtains a 40-point lead in the second half, the game clock will run except for time outs, the end of the third period, and free throws in the last (two?) minutes of the contest. The clock reverts to normal time if the losing teams cuts the margin to 30 or below. It will return to running time if the lead again grows to 40 or more.


And, in my humble opinion, a very wonderful rule.
