It was the 600th game at Chrisler Arena, but more importantly it was the first game for John Beilein as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. As I watched the game from courtside I marveled at the way Coach Beilein has taken a team with 8 newcomers that averaged only 64 points a game and turned it into an up tempo offensive team. They routed Radford University 82-55. All this while starting two freshman in the backcourt and turning a lo post player into a perimeter threat.
Keep an eye on Deshawn Sims. Look for him to have a great year and be one of the main beneficieries of the John Beilein system.
