Team Strengths:

Interior defense and scoring, work ethic, attitude, and team chemistry

Question Marks:

Perimeter shooting and defense

Overview:

Three starters are graduated for the Wolverines but the team has a chance to
improve on their 13-12 record from last season. The biggest question right
now is how far will the football team go in the playoffs? With an
undefeated season and the #1 ranking in Iowa, it could be a slow start to
basketball if the team does as well as many hope. But as for the team,
Dike returns a solid nucleus of players who all work really hard. Tight
Bakker has been making a name for himself for quite some time and averaged
fifteen and six as a junior. With another year under his belt, look for
him to give the opposition even more trouble this time around.
