According to Ken Pomeroy’s adjusted defensive efficiency metric, Michigan is on pace to have the best defensive season of John Beilein’s career in Ann Arbor.
The Wolverines are ranked 24th nationally in defensive efficiency and have won more grind-it-out defensive affairs than we’ve seen in recent seasons. Michigan’s offense hasn’t been performing at the level of some of Beilein’s best teams, but the defensive improvement has kept the season afloat through 24 games.
