DARIUS MORRIS RUMORS
Most Success With The Least Depth: John Beilein
Luke Winn hands out coaching awards with a nod toward Michigan’s John Beilein for success without depth.
The “need for depth” is a myth in college basketball: All four Final Four teams this season ranked 308th or lower in percentage of minutes by bench players. National champ Kentucky ranked 323rd, at 21.6 percent. You can get by with a short rotation, as long as...

A Closer Look: Trey Burke
Last spring Trey Burke was spending his days collecting high school accolades and working out in the gym. He didn’t know what Darius Morris was going to do but it didn’t matter. Burke wanted to be the starting point guard in Ann Arbor. By the time Burke arrived at Michigan, Morris was a Los Angeles Laker and Burke was the only point guard on the Wolverine roster. Just a freshman...

Five Key Plays: Western Illinois at Michigan
1. Trey Burke’s 3-pointer off the pick and roll

Ferris St.-Michigan Preview
Darius Morris hurried down the court and managed one final shot - a runner in the lane that bounced off the back of the rim.

2011-12 Player Preview: Trey Burke
John Beilein might run a two guard offense originally designed to minimize the importance of a point guard but last season showed what a luxury a great point guard can be to any team. Darius Morris was the sort of guard that could make something out of nothing, manufacture a basket and made all of his teammates better.
Trey Burke’s career trajectory was accelerated in June when...

Morris gone, Michigan returns plenty of experience
Little was expected of Michigan at the start of last season, and as late as January the program seemed trapped near the bottom of the Big Ten.
The team began to click down the stretch, not only making the NCAA tournament but routing Tennessee in its opening game before losing 73-71 to Duke.
