Michigan's 'Fab Five' will reunite during Saturday's Final Four
NEW YORK (AP) --- Michigan's "Fab Five" will reunite during Saturday's Final
Four.
Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson will be part
of an alternate broadcast on truTV and HBO Max when the Wolverines face Arizona
in the second national semifinal. The winner will advance to play Connecticut
or Illinois for the title on Monday night.
The traditional broadcast will be on TBS, TNT and HBO Max.
The five members of Michigan's iconic 1991 recruiting class, who led the
Wolverines to the Final Four in 1992 and ?93, have reunited only a handful of
times. Rose and Webber have been part of TBS, TNT and truTV's studio crew
during the NCAA Tournament.
The Fab Five was estranged for many years because of Webber's association with
a Michigan booster. The scandal resulted in the program having to forfeit
victories from Webber's two seasons and the Final Four banners being removed.
The NCAA also banned Webber from associating with the program for 10 years.
The relationship healed after Howard was hired as Michigan's basketball coach
in 2019. Howard led the program for five seasons.
