Ann Arbor — Austin Davis thought he was going to get the Senior Night treatment.
The pregame video montage. The walk with his parents. The framed jersey. The postgame farewell speech.
That all got put on hold when coach Juwan Howard approached Davis, a redshirt junior center, before Tuesday’s practice and invited him back for his fifth year.
Needless to say, Davis was perfectly fine with the festivities being postponed as he responded by giving Howard three hugs.
"It was really out of the blue,” Davis said after Thursday’s win over Nebraska.
