Overall: If one tells you he or she predicted Michigan would be where it is right now, he or she is a bold-faced liar. Michigan matched last year's win total before the conference season even started, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Michigan’s may not be an elite national-title contender, or even a conference-title contender, but there’s no denying that Beilein’s squad has improved by leaps and bounds. For a program that hasn’t made the NCAA Tournament since 1998, fans can’t ask for more than a 13-3 record and a reason to get excited about Michigan basketball again.
Grade: B+
