CBS Sports Gary Parrish published an article titled College basketball rankings: Losing coach John Beilein knocks Michigan basketball out of early Top 25 And 1. A title that stings almost as much as losing coach Beilein.
As Parrish puts it, “It was always an unlikely scenario, I acknowledge. But Michigan could’ve theoretically returned every player from a roster that won 30 games last season and finished sixth at KenPom. With that kind of talent and experience and John Beilein on the sideline, I would’ve probably made the Wolverines the No. 1 team in the 2019-20 CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 preseason college basketball rankings.
