Michigan finished the 2002 – 03 season with a 17 – 13 record , but sat out both that year 's NCAA and NIT tournaments due to the self-imposed postseason ban . The team had banned itself from post season play before the season started . Nonetheless , over the course of the season the team had earned a three seed and a first round bye in the 2003 Big Ten Conference Men 's Basketball Tournament , but was upset in the second round by Indiana .
