The 1989 title is Michigan's most recent national championship, though the team made it back to the finals of the NCAA tournament in 2013.

The 1988-89 Wolverines finished the season 30-7 and punctuated their tournament run with a dramatic 80-79 win over Seton Hall in overtime in the final game.

The current Wolverines have to hope the 1989-inspired uniforms rub off on them, as they've struggled so far this season. Michigan entered Monday's game against Coppin State on a four-game losing streak, which includes defeats to NJIT and Eastern Michigan.
