Trey Burke
The 2012–13 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team represented the University of Michigan during the 2012–13 season, the Wolverines' 96th consecutive year in the Big Ten Conference. Co-champions of the Big Ten regular season the previous year, the team finished fourth in the Big Ten in 2012–13. It was the youngest team in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, in which it was the National Runner-Up. Led by sixth-year head coach John Beilein, the Wolverines had the best start in school history by winning their first 16 games and 19 of their first 20. They ended with a 31–8 win–loss record, the program's most wins in 20 seasons. The team also reached the top of the AP Poll for the first time in 20 years. The Wolverines had lost 2011–12 captains Zack Novak and Stu Douglass to graduation. The incoming class of Mitch McGary, Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas was ranked among the best in the nation. The team was led by national player of the year Trey Burke (pictured) and All-Conference honorees Tim Hardaway, Jr., Robinson, and Jordan Morgan. Burke was the second National Player of the Year and fifth first-team consensus All-American in Michigan basketball history. At the 2013 NBA draft, Burke and Hardaway became Michigan's first pair of first-round draft choices since 1994. (Full article...)
