Rankings from AP poll |
The 2015–16 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team represented the University of Michigan during the 2015–16 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team played its home games in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the 49th consecutive year at the Crisler Center, which has a capacity of 12,707. This season marked the program's 100th season and its 99th consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team was led by 9th year head coach John Beilein. Because this was Michigan's 100th season, the team was known as Squad 100 or Team 100
The 2014–15 Wolverines had entered the season coming off the school's winningest two-year stretch in history,[1] but it did not reach the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament after losing starters Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton to season-ending injuries in January.[2][3][4] The 2015–16 team follows the first season in five years in which the school did not make the NCAA Tournament.[5] In addition to the season-ending injuries for LeVert and Walton the prior season, the team was coming off an offseason which saw Spike Albrecht and Zak Irvin have surgeries.[6] Albrecht retired from the sport in December, although he later changed his mind. Later that month, Levert had an injury that ended his season. He only played in one conference game. He led the team in many statistical categories at the time of his injury and made midseason watchlists for various major national awards.

In June 2015, Max Bielfeldt announced that he had decided to use his redshirt year to play for the 2015–16 Indiana Hoosiers after the Hoosiers dismissed two forwards from the team the month before. Bielfeldt had considered several midwest schools and DePaul, Nebraska and Iowa State were his other finalists.[26]
Preseason
In April 2015, Spike Albrecht had offseason surgery on his right hip to correct for a genetic condition that may also necessitate left hip surgery.[27][28] Following the 2015 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament several pollsters (including ESPN,[29] USA Today,[30] NBC Sports[31]) omitted Michigan from the expected preseason top 25, however some that immediately projected Caris LeVert to return to Michigan included Michigan in the rankings: CBS Sports (#18)[32] and Sports Illustrated (#16).[33] Bleacher Report ranked Michigan at 25 noting lower expectations if LeVert declared himself eligible for the 2015 NBA draft.[34] On April 21, LeVert announced that he would return for his senior season.[35][36] That same day, Max Bielfeldt was released from his athletic scholarship with one year of eligibility remaining.[37] Despite all 13 of its scholarships being committed at the time, Michigan continued to recruit five-star 2015 McDonald's All-American Jaylen Brown and four-star Kenny Williams for the class of 2015.[38]
A scholarship for one of the potential recruits became available on April 27, when Beilein and rising sophomore Austin Hatch announced that Hatch, who had survived two plane crashes that killed his parents, siblings, and stepmother, would no longer play for the team due to medical issues stemming from injuries he suffered in the second crash. Michigan applied for and received a "medical exemption waiver" from the NCAA for Hatch; the waiver allows a school to keep a student-athlete who has career-ending medical issues on scholarship. Hatch transitioned to being a student assistant coach; as such, he was no longer on the active roster but could otherwise fully participate in the program.[39][40] However, Brown committed to California on May 1.[41] Williams committed to North Carolina on May 2.[42]
On September 9, Beilein announced that Zak Irvin would be sidelined for 6–8 weeks, but that he was expected to be available near the beginning of the season.[43][44]
The October 15 Preseason
Caris LeVert was named a preseason All-Big Ten selection, for the second straight year.[55] He was also one of three Big Ten selections to the 20-man Jerry West Award preseason watchlist.[56] He made the initial 50-man John R. Wooden Award watch list on November 17.[57] On December 2, Levert earned recognition on the 50-man Naismith College Player of the Year watchlist[58][59] and 33-man Oscar Robertson Trophy watchlists.[60][61] That same day, Albrecht was named an Allstate Good Works Team nominee.[62][63][64]
The team hosted its annual media day on October 22.[65] The preseason would wind down with an open practice on November 2 followed by a "Squad 100 Selfie" promotion hour.[66] Then the team had an exhibition game against Le Moyne on November 6, which pitted head coach Beilein's team against that of his son Patrick Beilein.[67] Two days before the exhibition contest, Michigan extended Beilein's contract through the 2020–21 season.[68]

After building an early 11-point lead on February 2, Michigan eventually went scoreless for the final 9:05 of the first half as (#22/21)[131] Indiana scored the final 25 points of the half on way to an 80–67 victory.[132][133] Entering the February 6 rivalry game against (#10/10)[131] Michigan State, Michigan had posted a 1–5 record against top 25 teams, with 5 double digit losses.[134] In the game, Michigan endured back-to-back defeats for the second time this season, losing 89–73 despite a 19–9 turnover margin including a season high 11 steals.[135][136] On February 10, Michigan defeated Minnesota behind a career-high 26 points by Walton and a perfect shooting night from Abdur-Rakman (5-for-5 from the field and 3-for-3 from the line) for 16 points.[137][138] On February 13, Michigan defeated (#18/16)[139] Purdue, 61–56. Irvin scored 16 of his game-high 22 points in the second half, as the Wolverines finished the game on an 11–0 scoring run after falling behind 56–50 with three minutes to play. After missing the previous 11 games, LeVert recorded five rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes.[140][141] Michigan commemorated the 100th anniversary of Wolverines basketball during a celebration at the game.[142] On February 16, Michigan lost to Ohio State 66–76. Irvin finished with 15 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two steals, becoming the 50th Wolverine to eclipse 1,000 career points.[143] On February 21, Michigan lost to (#5/6)[144] Maryland 82–86, despite a game-high 25 points and five blocks from Donnal.[145][146] On February 24, Michigan defeated Northwestern 72–63. Michigan fell behind early after it had a scoring drought of nearly six minutes to open the game, as they missed its first eight shots. They finished the first half shooting 12-of-17 from the field to cut Northwestern's lead from 11 points to one.[147][148] On February 28, Michigan lost to Wisconsin 57–68, in their final road game of the season. Michigan was held to a season-low for 3-point attempts in going 5-of-13.[149][150]
- March
On March 1, the team announced that LeVert would sit out the remainder of the season to concentrate on his continued recovery after suffering a lower left leg injury at the end of December.[151][152] On March 5, Michigan lost to (#15/#16)[153] Iowa, 61–71, in their Big Ten Conference finale, to finish the regular season at 20–11 (11–8 Big Ten). Prior to the game for senior night, Michigan celebrated the accomplishments and careers of seniors Spike Albrecht and Caris LeVert, whose senior seasons were both cut short due to injuries.[154][155] Freshman Fred Wright-Jones, who has been a manager and practice player the entire season, was allowed to suit up for the game.[156][157]
- Postseason
After a bye in the first round of the
On March 13, Michigan received an at-large bid to the 2016 NCAA tournament. The Wolverines are the No. 11 seed in the East Region and faced No. 11 Tulsa in the First Four on March 16 in Dayton, Ohio. Michigan is in the tournament field for the fifth time in the last six seasons after missing out on the 2015 tournament field. Beilein's Wolverines advanced to the national title game in 2013 and followed with an Elite Eight performance in 2014.[166][167] Michigan is one of three Big Ten teams in the east region (along with Wisconsin and Indiana).[168] On March 16 in the First Four, Michigan defeated Tulsa, 67–62, to advance to the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. After falling behind 16–9, Michigan ended the first half on a 19–4 scoring run to take an eight-point lead into halftime. Irvin hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 53 seconds left to put the Wolverines up by two points. Michigan was led by Abdur-Rahkman and Irvin with 16 points, while Robinson recorded his first double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. The game was the first-ever meeting between the two teams in program history. Michigan recorded six three-pointers in the game to extend their single-season record for three-pointers in a season to 332.[169][170] On March 18, Michigan lost to No. 6 seed Notre Dame, 63–70. Michigan finished the first half on a 7–0 run to take a 41–29 lead at halftime. Notre Dame came out with a 15–5 run to start the second half, cutting Michigan's lead to three points. Notre Dame did not take a lead in the game until Beacham's three-pointer with 9:26 left to make it 51–48. From there on there were five lead changes and three ties. Abdur-Rahkman led Michigan in scoring with 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal, while Walton recorded a career-high six steals, along with 10 points, eight assists and four rebounds. Michigan recorded 10 three-pointers in the game to extend their single-season record for three-pointers in a season to 342.[171][172]
