Ann Arbor — A new chapter of Michigan basketball is about to officially begin.

The Wolverines will make their real debut under the direction of first-year coach Juwan Howard in Tuesday night’s regular-season opener at Crisler Center.

“Every game is important to us,” Howard said Monday. “We're taking it game by game, day by day. We're not looking past tomorrow. We're locked in on that.

“I'm sure the guys are going to come in focused and ready to go because they're excited about tomorrow. And so am I.
