Every year, preseason projections miss on some teams, and the 2023-24 Michigan Wolverines appear to be one of them. It has only been three games, but after a very impressive blowout win on the road against St. John’s, it is fair to reset how this team should be viewed and what the expectations should be going forward.
The answer will come quickly with (likely) six straight games upcoming against Power Six competition, starting next week in the Bahamas. There are going to be some bumps for a team full of transfers, but right now this is a borderline top-20 squad per Kenpom and it feels like this team could absolutely stay near that range all year.
