Fab Five AltCast on truTV

Michigan’s iconic “Fab Five” will reunite for a special alternate presentation of the Michigan–Arizona NCAA Men’s Final Four National Semifinal on Saturday, April 4, that will air on truTV and HBO Max. The Michigan**–**Arizona matchup will also be available via the traditional game broadcast across TBS, TNT and HBO Max.

All five members of Michigan’s 1991 recruiting class will be together on-site in Indianapolis — one of only a handful of times they have reunited in more than three decades — offering a rare, collective perspective from one of the most culturally influential teams in college basketball history.

Teammates Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson will join host Adam Lefkoe to share real-time reactions, unique perspectives on the game, and untold stories and candid reflections from their historic run at Michigan.

The “Fab Five” revolutionized college basketball upon arriving together as freshmen in 1991, quickly emerging as both an elite program and a significant cultural force. The group led the Wolverines to consecutive national championship game appearances in 1992 and 1993. Their impact continues to resonate across generations of players and fans, making their reunion a can’t-miss moment on college basketball’s biggest stage.

The Fab Five altcast will air following Saturday’s first NCAA Men’s Final Four game, Illinois vs. UConn (6:09 p.m. ET tip).

Interesting that it will air after, and not simulcast.

I hope YTTV doesn’t get confused about recording the alt version (airing after prob helps)

@DMB_Dad this moment for you is probably a tier above getting married and having a child, but a step below being at Rupp when they beat OSU, right?
