In 3 ½ years at Michigan, Zak Irvin has lived through everything.
From the highs (an Elite Eight in 2014) and lows (missing the entire postseason in 2015), he and co-captain Derrick Walton Jr. have endured it all.
But even when there were problems before, there was always a crutch, like season-ending injuries to the two key backcourt players two years in a row.
Now at 11-6 overall and 1-3 in the Big Ten, Irvin said this is a new feeling and a new low.

There was a point in this season, after winning the 2K Classic in New York with Irvin as the MVP, where Michigan was a national surprise, a team playing better than many expected.
