\n-Michigan- Michigan enters the 2013-14 season with very high expectations. After losing in the National Championship to Louisville last year, Michigan seeks revenge and hopes to return in 2014. Michigan has big roles to fill with the loss of Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway, but they hope to do it with the return of many key players such as Mitch McGary, Glenn Robinson III, and Nik Stauskas. They hope that true freshman Derrick Walton, Spike Albrecht or Zak Irvin fill the vacant point guard position.<\/p>\n
