Rankings from AP poll |
The 2008–09
The 2008–09 season marked a turnaround for the team for several reasons. The team rebounded from a 10–22 overall record and a 5–13 conference record during the previous
For the forty-second consecutive season, the team played its home games in
Preview
Their 2008–09 pre-conference schedule included Atlantic Coast Conference members Maryland Terrapins and Duke Blue Devils, who went on to win the 2009 ACC men's basketball tournament. The team also played against geographical rival Eastern Michigan and the preseason #2 ranked Connecticut Huskies.[19]
Unlike conference rivals Michigan State, Purdue, and Wisconsin, Michigan was not ranked in the top 25 by either the Associated Press or the ESPN/USA Today preseason polls. In fact, the team did not even receive any votes, like rival Ohio State, in either poll.[13][20] Pre season reports described the team as a contender for fifth place in the conference.[21] Although the team was building from a 10–22 record, it won five of its last ten games the prior year.[6] A poll of 22 members of the media published in the Detroit Free Press ranked Michigan eighth in the conference.[22] The Sports Illustrated 2008 College Basketball Preview issue did not select the team as one of the five predicted Big Ten teams (the four mentioned above and the Minnesota Golden Gophers) to qualify for the NCAA tournament.[23]
Roster
On May 5, 2008, sophomore Ekpe Udoh, the Big Ten's top shotblocker, decided to transfer for his final two years of athletic eligibility. Beilein attempted to replace Udoh with Robin Benzing, a member of Germany's national youth team. However, Benzing failed to meet the NCAA's initial-eligibility guidelines and did not play. Beilein was able to partially solve the problem of complimenting Manny Harris by luring point guard Laval Lucas-Perry to transfer from Arizona. Perry became eligible to play at the conclusion of the fall semester.[24] The team anticipated relying on 7-foot (2.1 m) freshman center Ben Cronin to make up for the loss of Udoh and Ron Coleman,[21] who averaged over 21 minutes each of his four seasons.[25] Including Cronin, the team had three incoming recruits.[26][27]
Michigan granted two of its scholarships to fifth-year redshirt graduate students C.J. Lee and David Merritt in September.[28] Lee and Merritt had both been 2007–08 Big Ten Academic All-Conference selections.[29][30] The varsity roster included fourteen players, thirteen of whom saw live game action.[31] In December, the Wolverines made the decision to redshirt Ben Cronin after only 10 minutes of play.[32] He had hip surgery on January 14.[33][non-primary source needed]

Big Ten season
After a win over North Carolina Central,[89] which gave the Wolverines ten wins to match its previous season's total,[90] the team lost its Big Ten Conference opener against the Wisconsin Badgers on New Year's Eve. The win made Michigan the first ranked team that Wisconsin defeated during the season after three previous losses. During the game Zack Novak scored his season high 20 points, but Harris was held to 9 points and Wisconsin shot 58.7% from the field.[91] On January 4, the team earned its first conference victory against the Illinois Fighting Illini when five player chipped in with double digit scoring efforts and the defense induced a low shooting percentage in the second half.[92] The loss during the week caused Michigan to fall from the top 25 of both polls.[93][94] Michigan rallied from a 20-point deficit against the Indiana Hoosiers to force overtime in which it prevailed on January 7. It was the team's first victory in Bloomington, Indiana since 1995.[95] On January 11, defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes marking eight wins in nine games starting with the Duke upset. Michigan opened a 32–16 lead and was never challenged afterwards.[96] Following the Indiana and Iowa victories, Michigan moved back into the top 25 in both polls (AP #25, ESPN/USAT #24).[97][98]
Beilein stayed at 499 career wins at four-year academic institutions, as Michigan suffered its first consecutive losses of the season when its second conference loss, which came against Illinois on January 14, was followed by a loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes on January 17. The Illinois contest was a rematch from ten days earlier. After a 31–30 Michigan halftime lead resulting from 11 lead changes, Illinois shut down Michigan early in the second half to build a 57–45 lead with 5 minutes remaining. In the game, Michigan did not attempt a free throw until the last 1 minute and 45 seconds of the second half.
Michigan ended January with a pair of losses to Ohio State and Purdue. The Ohio State game was notable for Novak's
Michigan suffered an 80–70 overtime loss at the hands of ten-place Big Ten foe, Iowa, on February 22. Michigan had led 56–52 with 1 minute and 13 seconds remaining in regulation before allowing four straight free throws by Matt Gatens.
Postseason
Michigan concluded its regular season with a 19–12 (9–9 Big Ten) record. This earned the team a tie for seventh place in the conference standings with Minnesota. Since Michigan swept the season series with a February 19, 74–62 win at home and a March 7, 67–64 win at Minnesota,
Michigan continued to wear warmup shirts with the team slogan at the 2009 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.[127] In the tournament, where Michigan earned the number 10 seed, the team defeated the Clemson Tigers 62–59 on March 19 in Kansas City. At one point, Michigan held a 16-point lead.[128] After Harris gave Michigan a 58–43 lead with 5:51 remaining, Clemson had a 14–0 run to cut the deficit to 58–57 with 49 seconds left.[129][130] Harris completed a three-point play on a driving layup with 37.4 second left.[131] During the game, Clemson's top shooter Terrence Oglesby was ejected for a flagrant foul.[128] The Wolverines lost in the second-round game played on March 21, 2009, to the 2-seeded Oklahoma in a 73–63.[4] During the game four of Michigan's five starters who were trying to defend against Blake Griffin spent much of the game in foul trouble with Harris and Lee fouling out and Novak and Sims finishing with four fouls. Although Michigan tried a variety of defenders and various approaches such as doubling him, sagging in the lane, bumping him, Griffin still posted 33 points and 17 rebounds.[132]
