The Michigan Wolverines have one of the best-known and most formidable basketball programs in the history of the Big Ten and the NCAA. They're the basketball team for the University of Michigan, and they play their home games in the 13,751-seat
Crisler Center
in Ann Arbor. Michigan is famous for such powerful teams as the 1992 and 1993 Fab Five squads, which made two consecutive NCAA Tournament Final Fours and two consecutive title games but failed to capture a championship. The current era of Michigan Wolverines basketball includes one of the Fab Five players as the coach, with Juwan Howard returning to lead his alma mater in 2019 after a strong career in the NBA as a player and assistant. He has a five-year contract as head coach, and the excitement for the Maize and Blue bringing back one of their all-time superstars to coach the team is palpable.

The University of Michigan has a big basketball rivalry with Michigan State University. Michigan State basketball has been one of the best programs in the nation historically, and games between these two teams have a tendency to get heated. The rivalries with the
University of Wisconsin Badgers
and with the Ohio State University Buckeyes are also strong.

The best-known lineup in the history of Michigan Wolverines basketball was the dominant Fab Five team from the early '90s. However, the only Michigan basketball team to win the national championship was the 1988-1989 squad. That team featured future NBA first-round picks Glen Rice, Rumeal Robinson, Loy Vaught and Terry Mills. The Wolverines have made the
Final Four
of the NCAA tournament eight times, in 1964, 1965, 1976, 1989, 1992, 1993, 2013 and 2018.
''The atmosphere at the Crisler Center is one of the most fun in all of college basketball. The student section is referred to as Maize Rage, and for good reason, as the students at the University of Michigan are crazy for their basketball team. The noise in the arena is deafening while the opponents shoot free throws and when the Wolverines win, and there are plenty of things to keep you entertained in Ann Arbor before and after the game.'
