A surprising twist emerges from Michigan before its Final Four showdown with Arizona, drawing attention across college basketball.

INDIANAPOLIS — Malick Kordel had never been on a jet ski until late last summer. He estimates he spent three hours riding one during a Michigan basketball outing over a weekend before the season started.

A March Madness masterpiece might be on tap.

The iconic Fab Five will reunite for a special alternate broadcast of Michigan's Final Four game against Arizona.

INDIANAPOLIS — Michigan and Arizona, teams that will meet in Saturday’s Final Four, look a lot like each other. They’re elite on both ends of the floor, play fast, and work inside-out if possible. Arizona senior guard Anthony Dell’Orso has noticed this.

Final tally: Illinois 15 points, Arizona 12, Michigan 8, UConn 5. Illinois is the ideal winner and UConn is the ideal loser. But Hurley is also the worst loser. Arizona and Michigan both have the opportunity to become the 16th school with multiple titles, thus validating years of delusion.

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.

Lendeborg's unorthodox story is endearing. His talent is just as intriguing: 'I think we have an NBA player playing for us in college.'
