Next season, the Wolverines will face the Horned Frogs on Friday, Nov. 15 at the Crisler Center. Michigan will head to Fort Worth to complete the home-and-home in 2025-26.
Last season, head coach Jamie Dixon and the Horned Frogs finished the season with a 21-13 record, including a 9-9 record in a competitive Big 12 conference. They made the NCAA Tournament as a 9-seed, falling to 8-seed Utah State in the Round of 64.
Notably, Dusty May and Michigan will face former Wolverine Frankie Collins, who posted about returning to Ann Arbor on social media.

Collins started his collegiate career at Michigan, averaging 2.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 11 minutes per game off the bench. He was a key part of the 2021-22 that barely made the NCAA tournament and made a surprise Sweet 16 run. He played his best game in a Michigan uniform in the Round of 64 that March , scoring what was at the time a career-high of 14 points in a win over No. 6 Colorado State. After that freshman season, he transferred to Arizona State , where he has played the last two seasons, averaging 13.8 points per game in 2023-24.
