Similar to the way John Beilein's teams like to chuck up 3-pointers and see the scoreboard do some fast math, let's do some quick Wolverines addition to figure out how Beilein's third year in Ann Arbor might turn out.

For starters, Michigan won 21 games last year and earned the school's first NCAA Tournament berth since 1998. Michigan retains its top five scorers from that team. The top two scorers—junior guard Manny Harris and senior forward DeShawn Sims—appear on the John Wooden Award's national Top 50 watch list.

It's fair to say expectations are high at Michigan—and the Wolverines find themselves with a brutal pre-conference schedule that should prepare them for the Big Ten as well as a potential run beyond the NCAA Tournament's second round.

Michigan basketball coach John Beilein (BEE-line) says he wants his team to keep its hunter's mentality despite starting a season with high expectations for a change. Beilein says during Tuesday's media day that the Wolverines should have only whetted their appetite for more success after the program reached its first NCAA tournament since 1998.
