The 2015-16 season didn’t go exactly as planned for the Michigan basketball team. But, thanks to a number of players returning from that team, the 2016-17 season should be much better for the Wolverines.
Certainly, Michigan basketball is going to have improve in a number of areas, particularly on the defensive end if they are going to turn into a contender next season.
But even with their porous defense, which ranked outside the top 100 according to the KenPom.com efficiency rankings, the Wolverines still won 23 games, won a game in the NCAA tournament and notched a number of key victories over tournament teams like Maryland, Indiana and Purdue.
