Last Season

I'm still trying to understand this past season - early on the team showed great promise with wins over Notre Dame and Vanderbilt (and to a lesser degree wins at Southern Mississippi and a close loss to Texas A&M). Ending up 10-20 (with relatively few injuries) raises many questions.

Ultimately the responsibility falls on Coach Borseth, regardless of *why* it happened. The Michigan Daily has a take on this - not sure I entirely agree, but its worth reading:

Their problem was mental. At times, it was amazing how quickly they could be taken out of games mentally. After Indiana implemented its full-court press early in the second half and turned Michigan’s 12-point lead into a six-point advantage of its own, you could almost see the Wolverines wilt.

At that point, the six-point deficit might as well have been 600.

And that problem is coachable. It's Michigan coach Kevin Borseth’s job to make sure his team is mentally ready for every game. This season, there were times it clearly wasn’t.
