When does Michigan basketball play in March Madness?
The Wolverines are back in the Big Dance for the first time since 2022 as Dusty May has turned the program around in Year 1.
After a successful run through the Big Ten tournament to recapture some momentum, the Wolverines (25-9) were slotted in as a 5-seed in March Madness and will play UC San Diego (30-4) in Denver on Thursday in the first round. The Tritons celebrated their first-ever Big West Conference championship and have won 15 straight games in their first year of Division I postseason eligibility.

Michigan was a strong contender for the Big Ten title throughout the entire season, but lost its final three games of the season, including the season finale against rival Michigan State.
However, the Wolverines rallied to the Big Ten tournament, punching out Purdue, Maryland and Wisconsin on Sunday, each time as an underdog.
That run helped the Wolverines lock up an 5-seed in the NCAA tournament bracket.
