The 2009–10 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team represents the University of Michigan. The team is playing its home games in Template:City-state at the Crisler Arena, which has a capacity of 13,751, for the forty-third consecutive season.[1] This season marks the team's ninety-third consecutive season as a member of the Big Ten Conference.[2] On October 16 Michigan was one of five Big Ten schools to celebrate Midnight Madness.[3][4]

The team is in its second year off of scholarship probation following the University of Michigan basketball scandal, but continues to be prohibited from affiliating with implicated athletes (Chris Webber, Robert Traylor, Maurice Taylor, and Louis Bullock) until 2012, which means, among other things, that the players cannot help the University recruit.[5][6] The team is expected to finish between third and fifth in the conference by most expert pollings. The team is led by a pair of Wooden Award preseason watchlist nominees: Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims.

Rankings from AP Poll

November 12, 2008, marked the first day of the early signing period for high school seniors in order to become eligible student-athletes in the 2009-2010 academic year. The early period ended on November 19, 2008 for NCAA college basketball teams (the regular signing period is from April 15–May 20, 2009).[7][8] However, verbal commitments are usually accurate predictors of signing activity. Based on verbals and very early signings, Big Ten Conference rivals Indiana, Minnesota and Illinois have top 25 signing classes, but Michigan does not according to both ESPN and Scout.com.[7][9] The team is the choice of four blue chip prospects who followed through on their verbal commitments and signed letters of intent including Matt Vogrich and Darius Morris.[10][11] The 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) 180-pound (82 kg) Morris is listed among the top 15 point guards in the nation by Scout.com, Rivals.com and ESPN.[12][13][14] Kelvin Grady, who had played 64 games and made 33 starts during his first two seasons, was going to transfer from the program at the end of the prior season,[15] but he became a wide receiver on the 2009 Michigan Wolverines football team.[16] In June 2009, Jordan Morgan had surgery on his left knee to repair articular cartilage. The expected recovery time was four to five months.[17] In October, it was unclear whether he would be able to join the team or whether he would redshirt.[18]

Entering the season, Harris was regarded by some as the most highly rated player in the Big Ten. E.g., the FOX Sports preseason All-American listed him on its second team. It included Michigan State's Kalin Lucas on its third team, Purdue's Robbie Hummel on its fourth team and Ohio State's Evan Turner on its fifth team.[19] However, ESPN chose both Lucas and Turner to its preseason second-team All-American list, while Harris was not shown on a single ballot.[20] Harris and Sims were named among the 50 preseason Wooden Award watch list nominees.[21] Harris was also named to the preaseason Naismith College Player of the Year watchlist.[22] The 24-member Big Ten media panel selected Harris as a first team preseason All-Big Ten team member.[23]

The 2009–10 schedule includes the Old Spice Classic, an ACC – Big Ten Challenge match against Boston College, games against preseason ranked power conference opponents Kansas and Connecticut as well as the 2010 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.

Harris opened the season by recording the second triple double in school history (Gary Grant was the first in the 1987 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament) with 18 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists against Division II Northern Michigan during a 97–50 victory on November 14. Sims added 22 points and true freshman Matt Vogrich added 15 points on five-for-five three point shooting.[34] Harris earned Big Ten player of the week during the first week of the year for the second consecutive season.[35] Michigan struggled early against their first Division I opponent, by hitting only 4 of their first 21 shots. They recovered with a 29–13 run led by twelve points each from Harris and Sims to end the first half on route to a 77–55 victory against Houston Baptist. Sims posted a career high 5 three point shots.[36]

During the Thanksgiving weekend, Michigan participated in the eight-team fourth annual Old Spice Classic at The Milk House in Template:USCity. On November 26, which was Thanksgiving Day, they defeated Creighton 83–76 in overtime when Harris fell one rebound shy of a triple double. Laval Lucas-Perry tied a career-high with 18 points and Sims added 16.[37][38][39] The following day, they lost to a 6–0 Marquette team 79–65. They shot 12 for 18 from the free throw line and 3 for 20 from 3-point range.[40] They lost the subsequent game to Alabama when a Darius Morris full-court drive was blocked.[41]
