The rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan is one of the most storied in college sports history. The annual clash between these two football powerhouses is eagerly anticipated by fans across the nation. However, it was not on the gridiron, but on the basketball court, that a legendary battle took place - Ohio State vs. Michigan 73-65, Fab Five Win.
In 1992, the University of Michigan's basketball team boasted a group of freshmen known as the "Fab Five." Comprised of Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson, this talented group had taken the college basketball scene by storm. Their flashy style and remarkable skills made them an instant sensation.
Both Ohio State and Michigan have long histories of success in college football. The teams have combined for numerous national championships, conference titles, and Heisman Trophy winners. This success has only fueled the fire of their rivalry, as each team strives to outdo the other.
Chris Webber and Jalen Rose have had differences, including about the narratives of the NCAA scandal that led to the removal of two Final Four banners from the Crisler Center rafters.
It drove the childhood friends and college teammates apart, leading to the Detroit natives not even speaking to each other when they were in the same place.
Michigan (7-10, 2-4 Big Ten) ended its five-game losing streak in the process and extended its winning streak over Ohio State (12-5, 2-5 Big Ten) to three games, the same as on the gridiron.
Wolverines found their touch in the final six minutes, going 6-for-9 over that stretch. Behind the strong finish, an impressive 7-for-11 performance from deep and Ohio State’s meager 32.3% clip from the field, Michigan remained in the driver’s seat. With a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from sophomore guard Dug McDaniel, the Wolverines entered the break with a nine-point advantage.
But the Wolverines know all too well that halftime leads guarantee nothing. After all, they fell in their previous two contests after holding double-digit edges at halftime 
Michigan took the 1992 and 1993 Final Four banners down, wrapped them in plastic and tucked them behind a locked door on the bottom shelf of a narrow cage near other artifacts such as Civil War diaries at its historical library
While Webber said he hadn’t had a chance to think about the banners while standing under where they used to hang, Rose had plenty to say.
“It would be awesome if Michigan would consider retiring the numbers of the Fab Five,” Rose said. “Or, one banner with all of our numbers on it.”
