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.
