The No. 20 Michigan Wolverines have silenced skeptics with their remarkable turnaround this season, staking their claim as one of the Big Ten’s premier programs. At 13-3 overall and an unblemished 5-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2020-21 season, Michigan has been revitalized under coach Dusty May. Following the worst season in program history, May’s squad has flipped the narrative, climbing back to the top of the Big Ten standings and tying for first with No. 12 Michigan State.
May is still focusing on the game next up on the calendar and developing his players. Despite this early success, May still thinks his team is underrated, and he likes it that way.
