What’s up y’all? We are back with another Big Ten Basketball preview, and today we’re talking about the mighty Michigan Wolverines. UM finished last season with a 27-9 record and finished tied with Maryland (14-6) for 2nd place in the Big Ten and would end up winning the conference tournament. They would enter the NCAA Tournament as a 5 seed, where they would eventually fall to the #1 overall seed Auburn Tigers in the Sweet Sixteen.
As is the case in college athletics these days, even when you don’t have a new head coach, the Wolverines lost a significant number of players in the off season, with three graduating, one declaring for the NBA Draft, and five more players transferring out.
