Deep lineup forces 
‘M’ to limit errors

Wolverines label 
2015-16 ‘year of 
accountability’

By JACOB GASE

Daily Sports Editor

Midway through the second 

half of the Michigan men’s 
basketball team’s season opener, 
Duncan Robinson entered the 
game for the Wolverines. 

One minute and 18 seconds 

later, the redshirt sophomore 
guard was back on the bench. 

The 3-point specialist wasn’t 

injured, he wasn’t tired, and he 
didn’t do anything wrong that 
showed up in the post-game box 
score. What Robinson had done, 
though, was completely miss his 
defensive assignment, and that 
was enough for Michigan coach 
John Beilein to yank him from 
the game in favor of redshirt 
freshman D.J. Wilson. 

Beilein’s quick hook made 

several appearances throughout 
the 
Wolverines’ 
first 
two 

contests of the season against 
Northern Michigan and Elon, 
with inexperienced players like 
Robinson and Wilson often on 
the receiving end. 

Through the first two games, 

Michigan’s rotation has been 12 
players deep. And though Beilein 
has said it won’t stay that way, 
there is no room for individual 
error on a team with that much 
depth. With so many players 
available, Beilein has had the 
luxury of trying every lineup 
imaginable against the team’s 
lackluster 
early 
opponents, 

and he has no reason to leave 
struggling players on the floor. 

“We’re just trying to feel out 

what’s best for us,” said junior 
guard Derrick Walton Jr. “This 
year is a year of accountability, 
so at any moment, you make a 
mistake, a guy can come in and 
replace you. (You have to) do 
what you need to be doing.”

 Walton — who posted 24 

points, seven assists and six 
rebounds in the victory over 
Elon — and preseason All-Big 
Ten 
senior 

guard 
Caris 

LeVert 
likely 

won’t 
be 
in 

danger 
of 

losing playing 
time, 
but 

just 
about 

everyone 
else 
on 
the 

roster is being 
constantly 
evaluated, 
both in games and in practice. 

“Every 
day, 
we’ve 
been 

keeping charts,” Beilein said. 
“We know who’s won every 
single game (in practice). ... 
We’ve been on that. There’s been 
times though, still, that I thought 
our progress has been really 
slow — way too slow. We’ve been 
holding everybody accountable. 
We’ve had subs ready to come 
(in), but our learning curve’s got 
to increase.”

 
Last 
season, 
this 
kind 

of 
lesson 
in 
accountability 

wasn’t possible. With Walton 
and LeVert out with injuries, 
freshman 
guards 
Aubrey 

Dawkins and Muhammad-Ali 
Abdur-Rahkman were forced 
into starting roles knowing 
full well there were few others 
behind them on the depth chart. 
Freshman 
mistakes 
on 
the 

court — from blown defensive 
coverage to poor shot selection 

— were unavoidable and often 
excused. 

But now, Beilein has the 

ability to reward, punish and 
experiment at will, and that 
fact is readily apparent in the 
number of lineup combinations 
he has thrown on the court. 

The ‘5’ position has been a 

revolving door. Though junior 
Mark Donnal has started both 

games, Wilson, 
sophomore 
Ricky 
Doyle 

and freshman 
Moritz 
Wagner 
have 

seen plenty of 
action. 
And 

at one point 
against 
Elon, 

the Wolverines 
fielded 
an 

atypical lineup 

of 
Walton, 
Abdur-Rahkman, 

junior 
forward 
Zak 
Irvin, 

Robinson and Wilson.

 “The different types of 

rotations, I don’t think it’s really 
throwing any guys off, it’s just — 
we’re so versatile,” Walton said. 
“We’ve got guys that can play 
left side, backcourt and the ‘5,’ 
so I think it’s a luxury to have so 
many guys that can play so many 
positions.” 

Though players like Dawkins 

and Abdur-Rahkman have played 
meaningful minutes early in their 
careers, Beilein now faces the 
challenge of getting them ready 
to play when expectations are 
higher. With LeVert and Walton 
fully healthy, the Wolverines have 
lofty goals to accomplish. 

“We can’t just keep bumping 

our head on the ceiling,” Beilein 
said. “We’ve got to push through 
that, and several of our guys 
haven’t been able to do that.”

Tough Xavier team 
will test Michigan

By TED JANES

Daily Sports Writer

Though 
last 
weekend’s 

opponents, 
Binghamton 
and 

Detroit, didn’t pose much of a 
threat to the 
Michigan 
women’s 
basketball 
team, a much 
deeper 
Xavier 

squad certainly 
could.

After 
an 

exhausting 
two games in 
two days, the 
Wolverines 
(2-0) had the 
chance to regroup, watch film 
and prepare ahead of their most 
difficult test yet.

“They’re pretty deep, and that 

is something we haven’t faced 
in the first two games,” said 
Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico 
in a WTKA interview on Tuesday. 
“I think we wore the opponents 
out in the first couple games, 
because we kept rotating in and 
changing defenses. (Xavier) goes 
10, 11 deep.” 

The box score from Xavier’s 

65-57 win against Evansville 
reveals that wide distribution 
of playing time. Eight different 
Musketeers played more than 
15 
minutes 
in 
their 
season 

opener, compared to just seven 
for Michigan against Detroit. 
But while 10 of Xavier’s players 
contributed to the scoring, only 
one put up double digits.

Xavier 
guard 
Raeshaun 

Gaffney scored 18 points in her 
first game after transferring from 
Virginia. She is the team’s best 
weapon, but Xavier will need 
more than a single source for 
scoring, or else the Musketeers 
will have a high mountain to 
climb to get past a Michigan team 
that had four players reach double 
digits in each game.

Led 
by 
freshman 
center 

Hallie Thome and sophomore 
guard Katelynn Flaherty, the 

Wolverines 
have 
cruised 
in 

their previous outings, winning 
by scores of 90-62 and 88-61. 
Feeding the 6-foot-5 Thome 
in the post continues to be a 
successful tactic, and her 21 
points and three blocks in 
Detroit prove she is shaping up 
to be a valuable addition.

Both games’ second halves 

featured Michigan continuing 
to expand on early leads, which 
allowed Barnes Arico to bring in 
players who typically won’t see 
game time down the stretch. As 
a result, it’s difficult to perceive 
how deep Michigan actually is. 
Regardless, it has played like a 
talented, 
well-rounded 
group, 

despite the guard-heavy lineup.

Nine of the roster’s 14 players 

are guards, but so far there hasn’t 
been any special emphasis on a 
four-guard system, or really any 
system for that matter.

“When we sub, we really don’t 

lose anything,” Barnes Arico 
said. “Sometimes we change our 
defenses at that point as well. 
We’re kind of like a football 

team right now, where we have 
different packages depending 
on who’s going into the game. 
We’ve had a press package, a 
three-quarter court package, 
full-court press, a half-court 
man defense.”

Changing the defense on the fly 

appears to be Michigan’s greatest 
strength. After initiating the full-
court press during the second 
quarter 
against 
Detroit 
last 

weekend, the Wolverines forced 
four turnovers in three minutes to 
build an 11-point lead.

After that game, Barnes Arico 

mentioned that picking starters is 
often a game-time decision, calling 
it a “battle” for the five spots.

Nonetheless, Xavier can likely 

match Michigan well in this 
department.

The Wolverines’ early success 

may 
be 
boosted 
by 
weaker 

competition. It’s far too early 
to make any claims about this 
Michigan team, but if it pulls off 
another landslide victory against 
Xavier, a clearer picture for the 
season might start to take shape.

Schlissel talks Yale, 
Mizzou aftermath

‘U’ officials discuss 
campus dialogues 

regarding race

By LARA MOEHLMAN

Daily Staff Reporter

After 
college 
campuses 

confronted issues of diversity 
and racial tensions last week, 
particularly on the campuses of the 
University of Missouri and Yale 
University, The Michigan Daily 
sat down with University officials 
to discuss how the University 
campus talks about race.

The 
conversation 
followed 

University 
President 
Mark 

Schlissel’s campuswide diversity 
summit, which was held the 
week before Thursday’s two-
year anniversary of the #BBUM 
Twitter campaign.

During the interview, Schlissel 

emphasized what he characterized 
as 
the 
University’s 
proactive 

strategy for handling issues of 
race, in comparison with how 
similar issues were handled on the 
campuses of Missouri and Yale.

“We didn’t launch the diversity, 

equity and inclusion strategic 
planning process in the setting of 
a crisis,” he said. “We launched 
it in the setting of an ongoing 
commitment to the public and the 
students that we serve and to build 
an inclusive community.”

University administrators have 

been in the process of creating a 
plan to address issues related to 
diversity throughout the year.

Robert Sellers, vice provost for 

equity, inclusion and academic 
affairs, 
said 
this 
mindset 

distinguishes the University from 
other institutions grappling with 
conversations on race and inclusion.

“We hope that the level of 

conversation is perhaps different 
from what happened at Missouri, 
that students feel that they have 
a partnership in trying to make 
this change with respect to the 
administration, that we’re in this 
together, that they don’t see it 
simply as it’s our job to change the 
University, but it’s all our jobs,” 
Sellers said.

The 
day 
after 
Schlissel’s 

diversity 
assembly, 
students 

also gathered on the Diag in 
solidarity with Black students at 
the University and Missouri. The 
timing of these events, Schlissel 
said, was impactful.

“The coincidence in timing 

was dramatic, and it allowed us to 
have even deeper, more important 
discussions, perhaps, that we 
might have absent at all these other 
events,” he said. “The commitment 
to this is ongoing. It started before 
and it will continue on because the 
challenges are ongoing.”

“I hope that we don’t end up in 

a situation where it’s us against 
‘them,’ because we see ‘them’ as 
us, and there is no ‘them,’ ” Sellers 
added.

Schlissel said the diversity 

summit, which was attended by 
1,100 students, staff and faculty, 
presented an opportunity for 
increased inclusiveness.

“Many people in our community 

don’t feel like they’re full, active 
participants, 
and 
they’re 
not 

accorded the same sense of 
inclusion in our community as 
others, and a sense of hurt and a 
little bit of anger came through,” 
Schlissel said. “And I think that 
was very important for all of us to 
hear, and to try to understand and 
to contextualize with our ongoing 
work on diversity and inclusion.”

In 
Tuesday’s 
interview, 
E. 

Royster Harper, vice president 
for student life, discussed the 
University’s established history of 
activism.

“This is the school that went 

to the Supreme Court,” Harper 
said. “It’s also an institution where 
students’ voices around change 
and imagining a different kind 
of world have always been part 
of our DNA, and we’ve always 
had a responsive administration, 
sometimes 
imperfectly, 

but 
always 
a 
responsive 

administration … Does that 
mean we’re there? Absolutely 
not. But I also keep trying to 
remind myself that we’re also 
not at the starting gate either.”

Two 
years 
after 
the 

University’s 
Black 
Student 

Union launched the #BBUM 
Twitter 
campaign 
to 
call 

attention to the experiences of 
Black students on campus, both 
administrators 
and 
students 

say their is more work to do to 
address the challenges faced 
by these students. #BBUM was 
launched on this day in 2013.
