The Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team is the intercollegiate men's basketball program representing the University of Michigan. The school competes in the Big Ten Conference in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Wolverines play home basketball games at the Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan on the university campus. Michigan has won an NCAA Championship—under coach Steve Fisher—as well as two National Invitation Tournaments (NIT) and 12 Big Ten Conference championships. In addition, it has won an NIT tournament and a Big Ten Conference Tournament that were forfeited due to NCAA sanctions.[1] The team is currently coached by John Beilein.

Michigan endured the University of Michigan basketball scandal, that the NCAA described as one of the biggest financial scandal in NCAA history, when Ed Martin loaned Chris Webber, Robert Traylor, Louis Bullock, and Maurice Taylor a total of $616,000.[2] Due to NCAA sanctions, records from the 1992 Final Four, the 1992–93, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 seasons have been vacated. This includes a total of 113 victories and 57 losses, of which 50 wins and 36 losses occurred in conference games against Big Ten teams. It also includes the following post season records NCAA: 7–4, NIT: 5–0, and Big Ten Tournament: 4–1. This reflects vacating the 1992 Final Four appearance; 1997 NIT Championship; 1993, 1996, and 1998 NCAA Tournament appearances; and the 1998 Big Ten Tournament championship.[3] Throughout this article asterisks denote awards, records and honors that have been vacated.
