McCoy Out for Season, Wolverines Rebuild | College Basketball News

Michigan basketball takes a devastating hit as top freshman guard Brandon McCoy tears his ACL just 20 seconds into a game during the European tour, ending his 2026-27 season before it begins. Ranked 11th nationally in his class, McCoy was averaging over 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals — poised to be a starter for the defending champs. The loss compounds an already tough rebuilding year, with the team also losing head coach Dusty May and four key starters from last season’s title run. New coach Mike Boynton inherits a roster that’s mostly intact — except for one transfer — while another player, Roddy Gayle Jr., is in court fighting to play this season after two years sidelined. The Wolverines face a whirlwind of challenges on and off the court. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
