The University of Michigan men’s basketball team suffered through a .500 season in 2014-2015. Coming into the year, Team 99 seemed poised to continue the two-year streak of dominant basketball at Michigan. After two games with NJIT and Eastern Michigan, however, many fans began doubting the squad. Couple that with season-ending injuries to top players Caris Levert and Derrick Walton Jr., and you’ve got yourself a lost season.
It turns out that all was not lost. In fact, the two injuries may have very well been a blessing in disguise.
After Walton went down with his foot injury, Michigan finished the year 4-8.
