Michigan Slots Second In Early Big Ten Basketball Power Rankings

Unlike many programs around college basketball, the Michigan Wolverines have their roster set, barring any unforeseen attrition or arrivals. While there are always question marks about a team heading into a season, especially when making predictions six months before games are played, the Maize and Blue are on solid footing coming off a successful year two under head coach Juwan Howard. In fact, Michigan was the most successful Big Ten team in 2020-21, having won the outright regular-season conference crown and advancing the furthest in the NCAA Tournament out of any team in the league (Elite Eight).
