The 2010–11 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team represented the University of Michigan during the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was coached by John Beilein. The team played its home games in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the Crisler Arena, which has a capacity of 13,751, for the forty-fourth consecutive year. This season marked the team's ninety-fourth consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team witnessed the departure of its four tallest players and two leading scorers from the prior season. The incoming class featured the sons of two former National Basketball Association players (Tim Hardaway and Tito Horford) and the younger brother of a current one (Al Horford). Additionally Joe Dumars' son Jordan transferred to the team and Glenn Robinson's son, Glenn Robinson III verbally committed to the class of 2012. The season was marked by close losses against numerous highly ranked teams.
Although the team began with a 1–6 record in conference play, they rebounded to finish with a 9–9 conference mark. This put them in a four-way tie for fourth and earned them a number four seed in the 2011 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament. For the fifth consecutive year they won their first game in the tournament, but lost in the semifinals to eventual champion Ohio State. They also earned a number eight seed in the 2011 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, where they logged a record-setting performance in the first game, but lost in their second game (in the round of 32).
The team was captained by Zack Novak, who became one of the forty Academic All-American finalists for the second year in a row, and Stu Douglass. The team was also led by Darius Morris and Tim Hardaway Jr. who earned third team and honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition, respectively. Hardaway was one of two unanimous Big Ten All-Freshman selections. Hardaway set the school freshman single-season record for three-point shots made and Morris set the school single-season record for assists. Hardaway was selected to the 2011 Collegeinsider.com Freshmen All-America team.
On NCAA Tournament selection Sunday, The Fab Five aired and comments it contained brought attention to issues of race in sports and education and the Duke–Michigan rivalry. Past Duke and Michigan players traded barbs in leading national newspapers. The teams met in the 2011 NCAA tournament the following week with Duke prevailing.
2010–11 incoming team members
The 2010–11 Wolverines saw assistant coach John Mahoney be replaced by Bacari Alexander. Alexander had most recently been an assistant for Western Michigan. Jerry Dunn, who took a leave of absence in December of the prior season, was replaced by Jeff Meyer who had filled in for him on an interim basis. Mike Jackson left the Michigan basketball program to join rival Purdue and was replaced by LaVall Jordan, who previously served as an assistant coach for Iowa.
The team lost its four tallest contributors from the prior season: DeShawn Sims, Zack Gibson, Anthony Wright and Manny Harris. The same weekend that Harris declared for the 2010 NBA draft in late March, the team accepted a commitment from Jon Horford. Horford, who was named a 2010 Class A All-State performer from the Associated Press, the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News, is the younger brother of Atlanta Hawk Al Horford and son of former NBA player Tito Horford. Horford did not actually sign his letter of intent until the opening of the spring signing period on April 14. After Horford's signing, the Wolverines had two scholarships available. With the signings and loss of Ben Cronin to injury,
Jordan Dumars (son of Joe Dumars) transferred to the University of Michigan in January 2010 after playing in six games for the South Florida Bulls men's basketball team. According to NCAA transfer eligibility rules, he must sit out a complete academic year. Thus, he was able to join the team following the completion of the fall 2010 semester.

The win against Clemson on November 30 was Michigan's first ACC-Big Ten Challenge win in five years.

On January 27, Morris led Michigan to its first win against [Michigan State](2010-11-michigan-state-spartans-men-s-basketball-team) in East Lansing, Michigan at the Breslin Center since 1997. This was its only victory was against a ranked opponent as Michigan State was ranked 25 in one poll and unranked in the other on January 27. On January 30 against [Iowa](2010-11-iowa-hawkeyes-men-s-basketball-team), he had become the third Michigan Wolverines men's basketball player (following Gary Grant and Manny Harris) to record a triple double.

The following week, Hardaway earned a third Freshman of the week award as he became the first Michigan freshman to score thirty points in a game in eight years. His thirty points came in a 75–72 February 19 overtime victory over Iowa. He had also scored 10 points and added 5 assists in a 54–52 loss to [Illinois](2010-11-illinois-fighting-illini-men-s-basketball-team). On February 28, Hardaway earned his third consecutive and fourth overall Big Ten Conference Freshman of the week recognition.

## Postseason
The team earned the number four seed in the [2011 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament](2011-big-ten-conference-men-s-basketball-tournament), based on the Big Ten tiebreaker. In the 2011 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament, they earned a bye in the first round as the number 4 seed. Then, in the second round, they defeated Illinois 60–55. In the conference semifinals, they lost to Ohio State 68–61. During the game, Hardaway set the Michigan freshman single-season three-point shots made record.
Michigan earned a #8 Seed in the [2011 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament](2011-ncaa-division-i-men-s-basketball-tournament), where they defeated [Tennessee](2010-11-tennessee-volunteers-basketball-team) by a 75–45 margin in the first round. During the victory, they established two NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship records: The largest victory margin by an eight seed, and the first team to ever win a tournament game without making a free throw. The game was the second largest NCAA tournament victory margin in Michigan history (surpassed by the [1989 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament](1989-ncaa-division-i-men-s-basketball-tournament) victory over [Virginia](1988-89-virginia-cavaliers-men-s-basketball-team)). It also marked the ninth straight time that John Beilein led a team victory in its first game of a postseason tournament (5 NCAA and 4 NIT).
In the second round of the tournament, the team opposed [Duke](2010-11-duke-blue-devils-men-s-basketball-team). Duke prevailed 73–71. In the game, Morris set a new Michigan single-season assist record with a total of 235. The matchup came in the week following the media storm that erupted as a result of comments made in the ESPN films *[30 for 30](30-for-30)* documentary *The Fab Five* by Fab Five member and former Wolverine Jalen Rose. The controversy spread to *The Washington Post* where columnist Jason Reid noted that the film went out of its way to present inappropriate racial commentary when it described Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski recruits as Uncle Toms. Among those critical of the racial commentary was Duke player Grant Hill who was cited in an Associated Press story that ran in major national media outlets. In fact, Hill blogged on *The New York Times* with a response. Hill's response was the most emailed story in *The New York Times* and was shared on Facebook by nearly a 100,000 people within its first few days.
Hardaway set the Michigan freshman single-season three-point shots made record. Morris set the Michigan single-season assist record with a total of 235. His average of 6.71 per game led the Big Ten and Jordan Morgan led the Big Ten in field goal percentage. The team finished last in blocked shots and offensive rebounds in the conference.
Hardaway was one of 21 players selected to the 2011 Collegeinsider.com Freshmen All-America selection on March 25. Following the season, Darius Morris sought the advice of the NBA's undergraduate advisory committee to determine his draft prospects. On 4 May, Morris announced his final decision not to withdraw his name prior to the 8 May deadline and to enter June 23 [2011 NBA draft](2011-nba-draft). Morris was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 41st overall selection in the 2nd round of the 2011 NBA Draft. Following the season Hardaway was invited to the 17 – 24 June 2011 17-man tryouts for the 12-man FIBA Under-19 World Championship team by USA Basketball. The 12 selected players will compete as Team USA in the [2011 FIBA U19 World Championships](2011-fiba-under-19-world-championship) in Latvia from June 30 – July 10, 2011. He made the final roster along with two other Big Ten rivals.
