MAIZE THE ROOF: How the Michigan Wolverines Dominated College Basketball Book (Pediment) - PREORDER ships 06/05/2026

The wait is over. For the first time since 1989, Michigan basketball sits on top of the college hoops world.

Coach Dusty May's 2025-26 Wolverines broke program records for victories, bulldozed through the NCAA Tournament and brought the national championship trophy back to Ann Arbor. Leading scorer Yaxel Lendeborg, elite playmaker Elliot Cadeau, dominant rebounder Morez Johnson Jr. and steady scorer Trey McKenney gave this team a gear nobody in the bracket could match.

They routed Tennessee in the Elite Eight. They crushed Arizona in the Final Four. And they overwhelmed UConn in the championship game.

The supporting cast ran just as deep. Center Aday Mara gave Michigan a supersized frontcourt that overpowered opponents, while guards Nimari Burnett and Roddy Gayle Jr. stretched defenses from the perimeter. This was the deepest roster Michigan has ever put together.

"Maize the Roof" is a 208-page, full-color hardcover book from the award-winning journalists of The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press covering the full championship season, from the record-breaking regular season through the tournament run and the night Ann Arbor celebrated its first national title in 37 years.
