About

Michigan Wolverines Men's Basketball History

The University of Michigan first fielded a men's basketball program during the 1908-09 season, but a 1-4 record and sparse attendance led to its cancellation after one season. The program restarted in 1917, and by 1921 Michigan has its first of 14 Big Ten regular-season basketball championships, sharing the honor with Wisconsin and Purdue. Thanks to the play of Cazzie Russell, Michigan reached the NCAA finals in 1965. While under coach Johnny Orr, the Wolverines reached the championship game in 1976, before losing to undefeated Indiana. Bill Frieder coached the Wolverines from 1980 to the end of the 1988-89 regular season, when athletic director Bo Schembechler asked him to leave upon Frieder's accepting the Arizona State position. Steve Fisher took over the reins in time for the 1989 NCAA tournament, and Michigan, led by Glen Rice, Rumeal Robinson, Loy Vaught and Terry Mills, went on to defeat Seton Hall, 80-79, in overtime for the program’s first and only national championship.

The "Fab Five" led Michigan to Final Four appearances in 1992 and 1993. Michigan rebuilt under coaches Brian Ellerbe and Tommy Amaker, before John Beilein led the team from 2007 to 2019. Under Beilein, Michigan returned to the Final Four twice, losing the 2013 and 2018 championship games to Louisville and Villanova, respectively.

    Good Experience, Policy Needs To Be Updated

    by Dae on 11/16/21Entertainment & Sports Arena - Washington

    Had a good experience overall, venue, staff, shuttle were all good. One star off for not allowing my binoculars into the arena despite that not being listed on the policy section of the website. Large cameras are not allowed but nothing about binoculars. Had to go all the way back to the car.
