In his first season at Michigan, May has the Wolverines (20-5, 12-2 Big Ten) in the hunt for a Big Ten championship and trending toward a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament. His contract extension was announced roughly two hours before the Wolverines faced Michigan State in a battle for first place in the conference standings.

The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines lost on Friday night for the first time in nearly a month, falling to rival No. 14 Michigan State 75-62. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for the Wolverines, who are 20-6 overall and 12-3 in Big Ten play under new coach Dusty May.

Michigan has agreed to a multiyear contract extension for Dusty May, who this season became the first basketball coach in school history to win his first 13 home games.
