The University of Michigan men's basketball team has made two trips to the NCAA National Championship game in the past six years. 

They fell short in both appearances, first to Louisville in 2013 and again to Villanova in 2018. Michigan's only men's basketball national championship came in 1989 when they defeated Seton Hall in overtime.
