Dusty May made a bold move ahead of Michigan's Final Four game
Dusty May's Wolverines have to get past Arizona to play for a national title, but he's already scouting the potential championship game opponent.
The Michigan Wolverines have the chance to win the program's first men's basketball national championship since 1989, but before it can play for a title, it has to get back the last remaining No. 1 seed in March Madness, the Arizona Wildcats. However, that didn't stop Dusty May from scouting the Wolverines' potential championship opponent before his team's Final Four matchup on Saturday night.
May was spotted pulling a fairly unprecedented move as he was sitting courtside for the first semifinal game between the UConn Huskies and Illinois Fighting Illini. Even TBS panelist Ernie Johnson commented that he hadn't seen a coach scouting before his team's game. Dusty May in the house scouting for @umichbball š @tracywolfson has more pic.

Whether May is a genius or setting himself up for some major criticism depends on what happens in the second game on Saturday night. Contact/Follow @College_Wire on X and @College_Wires on Threads. Like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of college sports news, notes, and opinions.
