Michigan’s ‘Fab Five’ will reunite during Saturday’s Final Four
The alternate telecast will feature live reactions and untold stories from the five former Wolverines, with Adam Lefkoe hosting.
- Michigan's famed "Fab Five" will reunite to host an alternate broadcast of the national semifinal game against Arizona, TNT Sports and CBS Sports announced Thursday. The broadcast features Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King, Ray Jackson, and Juwan Howard.
- Led by the 1991 recruiting class, The Wolverines reached back-to-back NCAA Tournament championship games in 1992 and 1993, becoming a cultural phenomenon "for their talents and their black socks," according to reports.
- Strained relationships followed a booster scandal that led The NCAA to vacate wins and ban Webber from associating with the program for 10 years. Michigan still refuses to hang Final Four banners from those years at Crisler Center.
- Sports broadcaster Adam Lefkoe will host the alternate broadcast on TruTV and HBO Max, while the traditional broadcast airs simultaneously on TBS, TNT, and HBO Max.
- At Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, The Wolverines face Arizona around 8:49 p.m. Saturday. The winner advances to play Connecticut or Illinois for the national championship on Monday night.
