ANN ARBOR -- The line of fans waiting to take a photo with John Beilein stretched past the opening to several sections on the Crisler Center concourse. He received a standing ovation and thunderous applause when he was introduced earlier in the night. Michigan basketball fans appreciate that Beilein guided the Wolverines to a Big Ten Tournament title and Final Four last season, but they really loved seeing him back at work after undergoing heart surgery in August.
Michigan's fifth annual "Selfie Night" drew about 1,400 fans to Crisler on Monday to watch the Wolverines practice and scrimmage for 45 minutes and take photos with the players.
