The 2018–19 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team will represent the University of Michigan during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolverines, led by head coach John Beilein in his twelfth year, will play their home games for the 52nd consecutive year at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This season will mark the program's 103rd season and its 102nd consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference.
The team is coming off of the winningest season in school history and a runner-up finish in the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. The entering class includes Brandon Johns and David DeJulius, who finished second and third respectively in the 2018 Mr. Basketball of Michigan voting. The departing class includes graduating senior captains Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman and Duncan Robinson who had completed their eligibility, along with graduate transfer Jaaron Simmons. In addition, Moritz Wagner declared for the 2018 NBA draft. Sophomores Brent Hibbitts and Ibi Watson transferred out of the program. Michigan will look to defend their Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament championship for the third year in a row. The team is also coming off a six year stretch tied with North Carolina for the most NCAA tournament wins in the nation with 16.
Previous season
The Wolverines, who finished the 2017–18 season 33–8, were 13–5 in Big Ten play to finish in a tie for fourth. As the No. 5 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, they defeated Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan State, and Purdue to win the tournament championship. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. As the No. 3 seed in the West region, they defeated Montana, Houston, Texas A&M, and Florida State to advance to the Final Four. In the National semifinal, they defeated Loyola-Chicago before losing to Villanova in the championship game.

Expectations
Immediately following the NCAA tournament and before the April 22, 2018 NBA Draft entry deadline, early rankings were put out by many services. Michigan was ranked by some: Sports Illustrated ranked them No. 4 with Wagner and Matthews both returning,[12] while CBS Sports (No. 22), Yahoo! Sports (No. 12) and ESPN (No. 8) expected Wagner to go pro and ranked them lower.[1][13][14] Sporting News expected both to go pro, but ranked Michigan No. 9.[15] USA Today, who ranked Michigan No. 18, expected Wagner to leave and noted that Matthews may leave as well.[2] Bleacher Report (No. 8) and Fox Sports (No. 14) did not clarify who they expected to return and ranked Michigan.[16][17] NBC Sports omitted Michigan.[18]
Immediately following the decisions of Wagner to enter the draft and Matthews to return, Michigan was ranked by ESPN (17)[19] and CBS Sports (21).[20]
Brazdeikis had the highest expectations among the incoming class from Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.[13][14] USA Today expected Johns to be the brightest newcomer.[2]
Sporting News was the earliest of preseason polls to be released (September 20) and included Michigan (#10) as the highest of three ranked Big Ten teams.[21]
2018–19 recruits and personnel
On December 22, 2016, junior recruit David DeJulius became the first commitment for the Class of 2018 after receiving a December 17 offer following his career-high 46-point, 7-rebound, 5-assist performance of December 17 in leading East English Village Preparatory Academy over Dakota High School.[22][23] Brandon Johns became the second commitment for the Class of 2018 when he committed to Michigan on June 29, 2017, over several other schools including hometown Michigan State, along with fellow Big Ten universities Indiana, Iowa, and Purdue. At the time of his commitment, Johns was considered by several recruiting sites, such as 24/7Sports as well as ESPN, as the top recruit from Michigan in the Class of 2018.[24]
On June 15, 2017, junior recruit Taylor Currie committed to Michigan becoming, at the time, their first commitment for the Class of 2019. On June 30, 2017, Currie announced that he would be reclassifying and would be set to join the Class of 2018 marking the third member of Michigan's 2018 recruiting class.[25] On September 22, 2017, Iggy Brazdeikis became the fourth, member of the 2018 recruiting class. Brazdeikis, at time of commitment, was ranked in the top 50 in the 24/7Sports composite top 100 rankings for recruits of the class of 2018. Brazdeikis committed to Michigan over schools such as Vanderbilt and Florida.[26] On September 29, 2017, Currie decommitted from Michigan dropping the amount of 2018 recruits to three.[27] On October 2, 2017, Adrien Nunez became the fourth member of the 2018 recruiting class. Nunez received much attention over the summer scouting period and drew praise for his shooting ability. Nunez committed to Michigan over schools such as Penn State, Texas A&M, and Boston College.[28] On October 4, 2017, Michigan added its fifth recruit to the 2018 recruiting class with the addition of Colin Castleton. The big man selected Michigan over Illinois in making his final choice. Castleton noted his connection with new Michigan assistant coach Luke Yaklich as a driving force behind communication with Michigan.[29]
Johns and DeJulius finished second and third in points (2,792 and 2,542, respectively), to Michigan State recruit Foster Loyer (3,691) in the 2018 Mr. Basketball of Michigan voting.[30][31]
