In a matter of a month, Dusty May has turned Michigan basketball into a top-15 team.

Even in today’s NIL and transfer portal landscape, it’s a remarkable turnaround for a program that was in the gutter for not only the Big Ten last year, but for all of college basketball.

The Wolverines finished last year 8-24 with losses to Long Beach State and McNeese State at home in the nonconference slate.

Fast forward to this season, and the Wolverines have gotten off to an 8-1 start, are 2-0 in the Big Ten and are now ranked No. 14 in the nation in both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and the AP poll.

The good news for the Wolverines is the game is being played in Madison Square Garden in New York, where the Wolverines have won 11 straight games over the last 12 years.
