Michigan is off to a 2-0 start, but the competition will level up this week. The Wolverines handled Buffalo’s transition attack and Prairie View A&M’s aggressive defense, but games against Seton Hall, UNLV, and either Arizona or Wichita State will provide a much more reasonable benchmark of where this team stands.

Juwan Howard and his staff won’t know what they are working with until they’ve seen the product on the floor against elite competition.
