- On Saturday, the Michigan men's basketball team extended a 10-game streak and is poised for AP No. 1 after a win over UCLA.
- Following a 24-loss season, Warde Manuel fired Juwan Howard and said `everything he talked about has already come to fruition` Saturday, sitting in the back of a postgame conference.
- May reshaped the roster by replacing eight players and adding transfers like Yaxel Lendeborg, Elliot Cadeau, Morez Johnson, Aday Mara, plus high-school recruit Trey McKenney.

- On Monday, Michigan faces the Wildcats and a No. 1 ranking would be its highest since Jan. 28, 2013.
