The No. 11 seed Michigan Wolverines stunned the No. 3 seed Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday in the NCAA Tournament, 76-68. Following the big win, Michigan head coach Juwan Howard found his old Wolverine teammates, Chris Webber and Ray Jackson. Then he hugged them to celebrate the victory. Howard, Webber, and Jackson were all teammates on the “Fab Five”, one of the most famous teams in college basketball history.

Check it out as Howard, Webber, and Jackson hugged after the big win.

It’s always good to see old teammates of such a legendary team get back together. To see it after the big Michigan win in the NCAA Tournament has to be extra special for everyone who follows the program. Here are a few more stats on the Fab Five.

The ESPN 30 for 30 Documentary on the Fab Five drew 2.7 million viewers during its original airing on March 13, 2011, setting a record as the highest-rated ESPN documentary ever. While at Michigan, the Fab Five were the first team in NCAA history to compete in the national title game with all-freshman starters. Four of the players were McDonald’s All-Americans in the 1991 recruiting class. It was a record that stood until the 2013 Kentucky Wildcats’ recruiting class, which had six players compete in the McDonald’s All-American Game.

Stats following the Michigan upset win over Tennessee

With the win, the Michigan Wolverines advanced to the Sweet 16. Michigan won the game behind 27 points and 11 rebounds from Hunter Dickinson and 23 points from Eli Brooks. Santiago Vescovi only had five points for Tennessee, while shooting 1-of-5 from three-point range. The Volunteers only made 2-of-18 three-pointers in the game (11.1 percent). Michigan awaits the winner of Ohio State and Villanova for their next opponent. Before today’s win, the Wolverines had not won back-to-back games since the middle of February.
