Why was Dusty May scouting UConn-Illinois ahead of Michigan Final Four game

Old habits die slowly for Dusty May.

Instead of sitting in his office in the Michigan basketball locker room to prepare for the Wolverines’ Final Four game vs Arizona at 8:49 p.m. ET, May was instead courtside scouting the Illinois-UConn semifinal.

The Wolverines would play the winner of the first semifinal if they prevail in the second semifinal on Saturday, April 6, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

May told TBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson that with the quick turnaround, he “wanted to see things live, especially because he’s not that familiar with UConn.” He added he wanted a fresh perspective on the Huskies, and that this was “much better than sitting in the back.”

Michigan-Arizona is scheduled for an 8:49 p.m. ET tip time.
