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.
