Nobody thought they’d be here. Not the 2019-20 Michigan basketball team that’s missing three significant pieces and absent a recruit who committed but left when John Beilein departed for the NBA.
Juwan Howard’s return has been better than expected, and he has led this year’s hoops squad on a roller coaster of a season. Defeating the college basketball blue-bloods and then falling twice on the road only to return home for a devastating overtime one point disappointment to a top ten. They’re 9-3, but there’s not a single college basketball team that will overlook this Michigan basketball squad.
