Michigan coach supports Big Ten teams in tournament

Michigan coach Dusty May is cheering for other teams in the Big Ten during the NCAA Tournament. After a recent game against Texas A&M, he expressed his support for Michigan State and Wisconsin, despite some fans not supporting his team. May had a light-hearted response to the situation, saying, "I take it all back. Let’s go Cougs!" This was after his Wolverines upset Texas A&M with a score of 91-79. The Big Ten is having a strong showing in the tournament, achieving a record with eight wins in the first round. Following their victories, Purdue and Michigan improved the conference's record to 10-0. However, both Wisconsin and UCLA lost later that night. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo also mentioned that he supports other teams in the conference, including rival Michigan. May acknowledged his new role in the Big Ten and expressed respect for experienced coaches like Izzo. He hopes to see both teams advance further in the tournament. The Wolverines' win has sent them to the Sweet 16, where they will play Auburn next. Michigan State has a chance to join them if they win against New Mexico. Other Big Ten teams, including Maryland and Illinois, will also be playing on Sunday. With the tournament progressing, matchups between Big Ten teams are becoming more likely, adding excitement to the competition.
