Applachian State v Michigan Preview

The Wolverines are coming off a 30-7 season, and they will be led by new head coach (and Fab Five member) Juwan Howard, who is looking forward to the opportunity to coach the team he knows so well.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to lead the University of Michigan’s storied basketball program,” Howard said after he was hired in May. “As a ‘Michigan Man,’ I know the place our program has in college basketball and I embrace the chance to build onto that history and lead us to championships both in the Big Ten and national level.”

One of the first things Howard did was try to find new ways to challenge his new players. Kicking things off against the Mountaineers is one way to do just that: “We have put together a very challenging and balanced non-conference schedule,” Howard said in a prepared statement. “These 11 games give us not only 11 opportunities to grow and get better as a team, but it also helps to face several high-caliber opponents prior to getting into the Big Ten schedule. I am looking forward to seeing how we progress.”

The Wolverines will likely rely on returning trio Jon Teske, Isaiah Livers and guard Zavier Simpson this season Teske averaged 9.5 points and was the team’s leading rebounder with seven a game last year. Simpson was the team’s leader in both assists and steals, and he and Teske should give App State fits in this one.

Appalachian State is coming off a disappointing 11-21 season, and they haven’t had a winning season in eight years. New head coach Dustin Kerns hopes to change all that. Kerns has four returning starters including Justin Forest, who averaged 16.2 points last year.

Forward Isaac Johnson should help keep the paint clean, while former NBA guard Mike Bibby’s son, Mike Bibby Jr., could provide a nice three-point option from the bench. Freshman Carmel Christian could also be one to watch in this game, as he makes his much anticipated debut with the Mountaneers. While the Wolverines are definite favorites, this young Mountaineers team could give them a good showing–which is what Howard said he wanted.

While the two teams have a history when it comes to football, this is the first time they will play each other in a basketball game in their respective histories.
