Michigan basketball will honor Trey Burke’s No. 3 by raising it in the rafters — along with the five other Wolverine digits that are up there — during the Jan. 23 game against Ohio State. Burke is a Columbus, Ohio, native. More from the Michigan press release:
Burke will become the sixth Wolverine to have his jersey honored inside Crisler Center, joining Michigan legends Cazzie Russell (No. 33, Dec. 11, 1993), Rudy Tomjanovich (No. 45, Feb. 8, 2003), Phil Hubbard (No. 35, Jan. 11, 2004), Glen Rice (No. 41, Feb. 20, 2005) and Bill Buntin (No. 22, Jan. 7, 2006). Of that group, Russell’s No. 33 remains the lone number officially retired by the program.

Burke, a Columbus, Ohio, native, played two seasons in Ann Arbor (2011-13), establishing himself as one of the most decorated players in program history. A starter in all 73 games of his career, he averaged 16.9 points, 5.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game while leading U-M to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, capped by the 2013 run to the national championship game.

Today is Michigan’s annual ‘Maize Out’ game for the clash against the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Wolverines will wear blue jerseys with blue pants and maize accessories for the game against Wisconsin.

Michigan defensive line commit Titan Davis was honored as a Navy All-American. He will take another visit to U-M for today’s game against Wisconsin.

Quote Of The Day

“The back end of what we would anticipate to be our roster, I think, would’ve played a lot of minutes on last year’s team, where depth wasn’t quite the strength as this year’s team. We’re going to have to really share the success if we’re going to max out.”

— U-M head coach Dusty May on the ‘Inside College Basketball’ podcast with host Jon Rothstein, discussing the team’s depth for this season and saying Michigan is “probably too deep”
