Michigan and Indiana Basketball Schools Under New Coaches
Michigan and Indiana begin the season with new coaches Bennie Oosterbaan and Branch McCracken and hopes of climbing from the Big Ten second division. Oosterbaan relies on a letterman lineup and a fast break, while McCracken fields a largely sophomore squad with Ernie Andres as captain and a faster, more scoring oriented offense. Michigan and Indiana both schedule key Big Ten games from January to March, including clashes with Illinois, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Purdue, with Indiana hosting Michigan at Ann Arbor in a later date.
