With Michigan offense a 'work in progress,' Beilein counting on defense
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- John Beilein knew in preseason practices last year that Michigan was going to regress offensively from the year before. And so defense became a strength. The Wolverines may follow a similar script this season.
"I think we have a chance to be a good defensive team again, but I think offensively we're a work in progress," Beilein said at Big Ten men's basketball media day Thursday.
Duncan Robinson isn't walking through the Crisler Center doors. Neither is Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman. Nor Moritz Wagner. The trio responsible for nearly 60 percent of Michigan's made 3-pointers last season is gone.
