Rankings from AP Poll

The 2014–15 team needed to replace the losses of Nik Stauskas, Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III to the 2014 NBA draft and Jon Horford and Jordan Morgan to graduation. It began the season ranked in both the AP Poll (#24) and Coaches' Poll (#23). Guard Caris LeVert was named a preseason All-American according to numerous media outlets and preseason All-Big Ten according to the Big Ten media. LeVert, however, suffered a season-ending foot injury in January.[6] At the end of that month, Derrick Walton was sidelined for the season. The team struggled without two of its leaders as it went from a 6–3 win–loss record in conference to finish 8–10. After falling in the quarterfinals of the 2015 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament the team's season ended with a 16–16 record.

Roster changes

Departures

Jordan Morgan graduated after using all of his eligibility. Horford announced on April 10 that he would use his 5th year of redshirt eligibility by transferring to a graduate program at another school for the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.[7] On April 26, Horford announced he was transferring to play for the Florida Gators men's basketball team.[8]

On April 15, in a joint press conference on the Big Ten Network,[9] Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas announced that they were declaring themselves eligible for the 2014 NBA draft.[10] On April 25, Mitch McGary declared for the draft. He was facing a season-long NCAA suspension after testing positive for marijuana after the Wolverines' NCAA tournament win over Tennessee, a game for which he dressed but was not able to play.[11] When all three players were drafted, it marked the first time Michigan had at least three draft picks since the 1990 NBA draft.[12]

    Future recruits

    On August 6, Duncan Robinson announced that he would transfer to Michigan with three years of eligibility remaining and sit out the 2014–15 season after Division III Williams College head coach Mike Maker announced his departure to coach at Marist.[16] On August 8, 2014, 6-foot-11-inch (2.11 m) Jon Teske became Michigan basketball's first class of 2016 commit.[17]

    Post-tournament predictions

    Immediately following the 2014 NCAA Tournament, the earliest predictions started being made by the media despite draft status uncertainty. While uncertainty about Stauskas', Robinson's and McGary's returns remained speculation, projections abounded: 9 by Yahoo! Sports,[18] 14 by Bleacher Report,[19] 17 by ESPN,[20] 18 by USA Today,[21] 20 by NBC Sports and CBS Sports.[22][23] Following the April 27 NBA draft entry deadline, revised predictions had Michigan a little lower: 19 by Bleacher Report,[24] 24 by ESPN and NBC Sports,[25][26] unranked by CBS Sports and USA Today.[27][28] Despite the projected rankings the Las Vegas 2015 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament betting lines showed only 11 schools with shorter odds than Michigan who was in a 6-way tie for 12th place at 33:1 on April 29.[29]

    Offseason

    On May 12, LeVert underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot. He was expected to be sidelined for 8–10 weeks, but be available for the team's August trip to play in Europe.[30] Beilein announced on June 3 that Max Bielfeldt had undergone hip surgery and was expected to miss most of the summer.[31][32] On August 6, D. J. Wilson was sidelined for 4–6 weeks following surgery on his pinky finger. This announcement came prior to the team's August 15 departure for its summer trip to Italy.[33]

    The team participated in a four-game exhibition tour of Italy that included stops in Rome, Verona, Vicenza, Venice and Lake Como from August 15–24.[34] On August 28, Beilein became the 2013–14 recipient of the NCAA's Bob Frederick Sportsmanship Award, which honors "an NCAA member institution coach or administrator who exhibits a lifelong commitment to sportsmanship and ethical conduct, leading by example and promoting positive fan involvement in and out of competition."[35]

    Preseason

    Caris LeVert (left) and Spike Albrecht were named co-captains

    Michigan began the season ranked number 23 in the Coaches' Poll and number 24 in the AP Poll.[36][37] In the Sports Illustrated preseason top 25 ranking Michigan was listed #25.[38] ESPN's Jeff Goodman expected Michigan to be Wisconsin's main competition in the conference despite all of the talent it lost.[39] Athlon Sports and Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook ranked Michigan 23 in their preseason rankings.[40][41] Bleacher Report listed Michigan at number 20.[42]

    Caris LeVert was a preseason All-Big Ten selection.[43] He was an NBCSports.com Preseason All-American first team selection, a SB Nation, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, Athlon Sports, Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, and CBSSports.com second team selection and a USA Today third team selection.[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] He was also named to the Lute Olson Award and John R. Wooden Award preseason watchlists.[52][53][54] LeVert also was named to the Oscar Robertson Trophy Watch List on November 24 and the Naismith Award Top 50 list on December 3.[55][56]

    In its preseason top 100 player rankings, ESPN ranked LeVert #13 and Walton #87.[57][58] Prior to the season LeVert and Spike Albrecht were named co-captains.[59][60]

    Roster
    Last update: 2014-11-30

    In July, the team reclassified Max Bielfeldt from a redshirt junior to a senior, which freed up Bielfeldt's scholarship for the Class of 2015, implying Bielfeldt would play his final year of eligibility elsewhere.[61][62] In November, Beilein announced that the team would redshirt Andrew Dakich so that he could play a fifth year somewhere else.[63] However, a pair of January backcourt injuries caused Dakich's services to be needed and he played instead of redshirting.[64] D. J. Wilson missed most of the season due to a knee injury and was redshirted.[65][66]

    Schedule

    Zak Irvin posted several double-doubles for the team.

    Michigan played the 2014–15 Arizona Wildcats on the road at McKale Center as part of their home-and-away that had begun at home against the 2013–14 Wildcats. Michigan played a home-and-away with the 2014–15 and 2015–16 SMU Mustangs with the 2014 game being played on December 20, 2014, at Crisler Center, and trip in December 2015 to face the 2015–16 Mustangs in Dallas.[67] On July 15, the non-conference schedule was announced.[68] On August 21, the team announced the conference schedule,[69] which included three ESPN Super Tuesday broadcasts.[70]

    November

    On November 10, Michigan won an exhibition game against Wayne State. The biggest storyline was that Austin Hatch scored for the team. Hatch had survived two plane crashes at ages 8 and 16; the first killed his mother and both of his siblings, and the second killed his father and stepmother and left him in a coma for two months.[71][72] After raising its 2014 Big Ten Championship banner on November 15, Michigan opened its season with a 92–68 victory over Hillsdale College. The game was the first time the team had had three 20-point scorers (Derrick Walton-22, Zak Irvin-21, and Caris LeVert-20) since the 2011–12 team defeated the Oakland Golden Grizzlies on December 10, 2011, behind Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Evan Smotrycz.[73][74] On November 17, the team opened the Progressive Legends Classic at home against Bucknell. The game was highlighted by Max Bielfeldt's career-high 18-point performance and Irvin's second consecutive 20 plus-point performance.[75][76] In the second home game of the Legends Classic on November 20, Michigan faced a Detroit Titans team that was led by Juwan Howard, Jr.—the son of former Michigan star Juwan Howard. Detroit led at the half and tied the score with 5:39 remaining before Michigan went on to win 71–62 despite 24 points and 8 rebounds from Howard.[77] In the semifinals of the Legends Classic at the Barclays Center on November 24, Michigan defeated Oregon.[78][79] The next day, Michigan lost to (#12 AP Poll/#11 Coaches Poll)[80] Villanova in the championship game. This was the first meeting between the two teams since the quarterfinals of the 1985 NCAA Tournament, which Villanova also won. Villanova went on a 9–0 run to end the first half, and led by as many as 13 points early in the second half. Michigan cut the lead to 35–31 following an 11–2 run. Michigan led by as many as eight points with just under six minutes left in the game, before Villanova came back to retake the lead for good with 13 seconds remaining. Caris LeVert helped lead the second half comeback scoring eight of his 16 points in the second half, including Michigan's final six points of the game.[81][82] On November 29, the team defeated Nicholls State as five players scored in double figures.[63][83]

    December

    On December 2, Michigan defeated Syracuse in an ACC-Big Ten Challenge game that went down to the wire. After blowing a 10-point second half lead Michigan needed a three point shot from Albrecht with 31 seconds remaining for the victory.[84][85] On December 6, Michigan suffered its first home loss of the season to the New Jersey Institute of Technology by a 72–70 margin, despite a career-high 32 points by Levert. With the loss, Michigan's 30-game home win streak versus unranked opponents was snapped. NJIT shot 11-for-17 on its three-point shots in the game.[86][87] The team lost its three subsequent games to Eastern Michigan,[88] (#3)[89] Arizona,[90] and SMU.[91] The loss to Eastern Michigan, which is separated from the University of Michigan by a 6-mile stretch of Washtenaw Avenue, ended a Big Ten-high 59-game streak without consecutive losses.[88] Eastern Michigan was led in assists (6) by Michael Talley,[88] son of Michigan Basketball point guard and alum Michael Talley, Jr.[92] The December 9 80–53 loss to #3 ranked Arizona was one point shy of being the largest defeat of the Beilein era.[93] The December 20 SMU game marked the first career start by Ricky Doyle.[94] On December 22, the team snapped its 4-game losing streak with a victory over Coppin State who was coached by Michael Grant, the brother of former Wolverine and Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year Gary Grant. One of the game's big storylines was the first regular season point by Austin Hatch.[95][96] Doyle's game-high 16 points marked the first time he led the team in scoring.[97] Michigan won its Big Ten Conference home opener against Illinois in overtime on December 30 on the day it announced Jim Harbaugh would become the new Michigan Wolverines football head coach. Aubrey Dawkins, who had a career total of 15 points entering the game, scored a game-high 20-points.[98]

    January
    The team's season derailed when Derrick Walton and Caris LeVert were sidelined for the season in January.

    Michigan lost to Purdue on January 3, by making only 4 second half field goals after taking an 8-point half time lead.[99] The team defeated Penn State on January 6 with Albrecht in the starting lineup in place of Chatman.[100][101] On January 10, the team wore throwback uniforms honoring the 1988–89 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team that won the 1989 NCAA Tournament. Michigan was down 49–40 with less than nine minutes remaining, before coming back to defeat Minnesota by a margin of 62–57.[102][103] Michigan lost to (Receiving votes/#25)[104] Ohio State on January 13.[105] On January 17 Michigan defeated Northwestern,[106] but lost LeVert for the season after he reinjured the foot that he had had surgery on the prior May.[107][108][109] In the game, Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman made his first start (in place of an ailing Albrecht) and made the game winning three-point shot.[110][111] At the time of his injury, LeVert led Michigan in scoring (14.9), rebounds (4.9), assists (3.7), steals (1.7) and minutes (35.8). Nonetheless, the team defeated Rutgers in its first game without LeVert and with Dawkins making his first start. With LeVert absent, Walton scored 10 of the team's 15 points as it rallied from a 42–37 deficit to assume a 52–44 lead with just 32.5 seconds left.[110][112] On January 24, Michigan fell to (AP #6/Coaches #5)[113] Wisconsin in overtime after Walton, who had a team-high 17 points, scored Michigan's final seven points, including a game-tying three-point shot with 1.3 seconds remaining in regulation.[114][115] The game had been the featured College GameDay game of the week.[116] On January 27 with Walton and Mark Donnal sidelined Michigan defeated Nebraska, as Irvin recorded his first career double-double, leading the team with 14 points and a career-high 12 rebounds.[117][118] Eventually, Walton missed final 12 of the season due to a toe injury.[119] Due to the backcourt injuries, Dakich burned his redshirt season.[64] Michigan finished the first half of its conference schedule with a 6–3 record.[120]

    February

    Michigan began February with 5 consecutive Big Ten Conference losses. On February 1, the team lost a rivalry game in overtime to Michigan State, despite career-high 18-point performances by Albrecht and Abdur-Rahkman and a career best 9-rebound performance by Max Bielfeld.[121][122] On February 5 and February 8, Michigan lost to Iowa and Indiana.[123][124] February 5 marked the return of Donnal to the lineup.[125] On February 12 against Illinois, Michigan lost in overtime after surrendering a 7-point lead with a little more than 3 minutes remaining. Illinois finished the game on a 21–2 run that was only spoiled by Michigan free throws with 13 seconds remaining.[126] The 17,087 in attendance established a record for the State Farm Center.[127] On February 17, Michigan lost again to Michigan State.[128] On February 22, Michigan ended its losing streak by defeating (#24/#23) Ohio State.[129][130] On February 28, Michigan ended February with a loss to (#14/#14)[131] Maryland in the first Big Ten Conference game between the two teams and Senior night for Maryland.[132][133]

    March

    On March 3, Michigan tied a school record with its fifth overtime game of the season (the first multiple overtime game since March 20, 2006) against Northwestern on Northwestern's Senior night.[134] Michigan gave up last second game-tying three-point shots by Tre Demps in both regulation and the first overtime before losing in double overtime, despite career-high 28-point and 21-point performances by Irvin and Dawkins, respectively. Irvin posted his own and the team's second double-double of the season.[134][135] On March 7, Michigan won its Big Ten Conference finale against Rutgers to finish the regular season at 15–15 (8–10 Big Ten). The game marked career-high scoring efforts by Dawkins (31) and Chatman (13), career-high assist efforts by Bielfeldt (3) and Albrecht (9) and a career-high rebounding effort by Bielfeldt (13). Bielfeldt made his first career start on this Senior night effort. Freshmen team managers Jon Rubenstein and Ryan Kapustka played in the game.[136][137] Dawkins' 31 points was the most by a Michigan freshman since Trey Burke had 32 in 2012 and his 8 three-pointers was the second most in school history, the most by a Wolverine since Glen Rice posted 8 in the 1989 NCAA Tournament and the most by a Big Ten player during the season, earning Dawkins the final Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor.[138][139] In the second round of the 2015 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament on March 12, Michigan defeated Illinois after splitting a pair of overtime games won by the home teams during the regular season.[140][141][142] The game marked Michigan's ninth consecutive win in its opening round of the Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament and Michigan's largest margin of victory over a conference opponent this season.[143] In the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament on March 13, Michigan lost to No. 1 seeded Wisconsin, despite a double-double and game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds by Irvin.[144][145]

    The United States Basketball Writers Association named Michigan's Austin Hatch as its recipient for the men's version of its Most Courageous Award for 2015.[147] Dawkins earned the final Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor on March 9.[138]

    Postseason

    Michigan did not participate in any postseason tournaments, ending a streak of four consecutive NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament appearances.[5] Following the season, Spike Albrecht had offseason surgery on his right hip to correct for a genetic condition that may also necessitate left hip surgery.[148][149] Albrecht and Irvin were voted team co-MVPs.[150] On April 21, LeVert announced that he would return for his senior season.[151][152]
