Michigan Wolverines vs. Norfolk State Spartans Basketball Preview

Michigan (0-0) officially kicks off its 2018-19 season at home against Norfolk State (0-0) Tuesday night.

The Wolverines easily dispatched Northwood 90-58 in their one and only exhibition match, seeing six players hit at least 10 points and 20 minutes. While there is not much sense in reading too much into a meaningless contest, the team’s first public outing does give a hint as to who might receive minutes early on.

Head coach John Beilein has always been hesitant to put too much weight on the shoulders of freshmen early in the season, and that should still be the case this year.
