The Fab Five Are Doing an Alternate Broadcast for Michigan vs Arizona This Saturday and College Basketball Has Never Seen Anything Like It
Mark your calendar right now. All five of them are getting back together this Saturday for an alternate broadcast during Michigan vs Arizona at the Final Four, and it's going to be absolute chaos in the best possible way.
We're talking about the most influential group to ever step foot on a college basketball court. Whether you loved them or hated the baggy shorts, the sneakers, the whole vibe, the Fab Five changed everything about how college basketball looked and felt. The NCAA can pretend they didn't matter all they want, but we all know better.

Here's the thing: we haven't actually seen all five of them together since the Chris Webber timeout game. They got together a few years back when Juwan Howard was coaching Michigan, but this is different. This is all five on an alternate broadcast during one of the biggest games of the season. You can watch it on truTV and HBO Max right after Game 1 wraps up.
The energy is going to be completely different from your standard broadcast crew. These guys know how to talk, and they're not afraid to say what they actually think. Remember when they went off on Christian Laettier in that ESPN documentary, calling him soft and overrated? That's the kind of unfiltered take we're talking about here.
Let Them Cook
Look, we all know every broadcaster has a team they root for. That's just human nature. So why pretend otherwise? Let the Fab Five have fun with this. Let them be opinionated. It's infinitely more entertaining than listening to someone try to stay perfectly neutral while breaking down the biggest game of the tournament.
The only thing missing would be having Bill Raftery calling the main game in one ear and the Fab Five going uncensored in the other. That's the dream scenario right there.
Whoever put this together deserves credit. This is what we need more of: legendary groups who actually changed the game coming back together for massive moments. Saturday's broadcast is going to remind everyone why the Fab Five still matter.
