After a strong start to the 2024-25 season, Michigan men’s basketball has hit a rough patch in Year 1 under head coach Dusty May.
The Wolverines have lost two of their past three games, including a 27-point shellacking suffered at the hands of the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday. As a result, Michigan (14-5 overall, 6-2 Big Ten) has fallen out of the latest Associated Press Top 25 rankings.

Michigan looks to get back on track tonight, hosting Penn State (13-7, 3-6) at the Crisler Center (6:30 p.m. / BTN). The Nittany Lions have struggled of late as well, having lost five of their past six games leading into tonight’s matchup in Ann Arbor.
