    College career
    Teske for the 2017–18 Michigan Wolverines

    Freshman season

    Teske logged just 61 inconsequential minutes in 20 games for the 2016–17 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team.[7][8] The team won the 2017 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.[9][10] In the 2017 NCAA Tournament, Michigan reached the round of 16 but lost to Oregon.[11] Following the season, D. J. Wilson declared early for the 2017 NBA draft and Mark Donnal left the program, making way for Teske and Austin Davis to compete for more playing time.[12]

    Sophomore season

    On November 16, 2017 Teske, who had previous career highs of four points and three rebounds, led the 2017–18 Wolverines with a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double in a victory against Southern Miss.[13] On December 16, Michigan defeated Detroit 90–58 as Teske made his first collegiate start (in place of Mo Wagner) and recorded his second career double-double (15 points and 10 rebounds); the game marked the first collegiate basketball game at Little Caesars Arena.[14][15]

    Michigan claimed their second consecutive Big Ten Tournament championship at the 2018 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament, becoming the first team to win consecutive tournament championships since Ohio State in 2010 and 2011; in the championship game against (#8 AP Poll/#8 Coaches Poll) Purdue, Teske posted 14 points off the bench while matched up against Isaac Haas, when Wagner had foul trouble.[16][17][18] In the 2018 NCAA Tournament, Teske played 17 minutes in a buzzer beater 64–63 victory over (#21 AP Poll/#19 Coaches Poll) Houston, including a 2 free throws as part of a rare 5-point play to tie the score at 51 with 5:41 remaining.[19][20][21] Michigan reached the National Championship Game where it lost to (#2 Coaches Poll/#2 AP Poll) Villanova.[22][23] Teske was one of a few players from the Cleveland area (including former Wolverine Eric Riley) to have played in a championship game.[24] For the season, Teske averaged 12.3 minutes per game to go with 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds.[7]

    Junior season
    Teske for the 2018–19 Michigan Wolverines

    In November 2018, Teske twice posted 5 blocked shots in a game: On November 10 against Holy Cross[25][26] and November 28 against (#11/#13) North Carolina 84–67 in the ACC–Big Ten Challenge.[27][28] Teske first posted 17 points and made a three-point shot on November 18 in a win against Providence in the Hall of Fame Tip Off tournament championship game.[29][30] Teske again posted 17 points on December 1, against (#19/#18) Purdue in Michigan's Big Ten Conference season opener.[31][32] On December 4, Michigan defeated Northwestern 62–60. When Teske experienced his first foul trouble of the season Michigan saw a comfortable win turn into a nailbiter as Northwestern posted a 13–2 run after Teske joined teammate Charles Matthews on the sidelines with three fouls.[7][33][34] On January 10, 2019, Michigan defeated Illinois as Teske added 13 points and 11 rebounds, for his third career double-double, and first of the season. With the win, the Wolverines improved to 16–0 on the season, matching the 2012–13 and 1985–86 teams for the school's best start to a season.[35][36] On January 13, Michigan defeated Northwestern to establish a school record for best start at 17–0 and tied the 1984–85 team's school record 17-game win streak on the strength of a career-high tying 17 points by Teske, who posted his second consecutive double-double (11 rebounds).[37][38] Teske tied his career high of 17 points again in wins against (#19/#19) Wisconsin on February 9 (in a double-double with 12 rebounds)[39][40] and on February 21 against Minnesota when he again posted five blocks.[41][42] On February 24, Teske posted 10 points and 11 rebounds, for his fourth double-double of the season in a loss to (#10/#11) Michigan State.[43][44] On February 28, Teske posted a then career-high 22 points and 10 assists, for his second consecutive double-double and fifth of the season, in a win against Nebraska.[45][46] On March 3, Teske posted 11 points and 10 rebounds, for his third consecutive game with a double-double and sixth of the season in a win against (#17/#20) Maryland.[47][48] Following the season, he was a 2019 All-Big Ten honorable mention selection (coaches and media).[49][50] Teske's 75 blocked shots in 37 games (2.03/game), finished second in the Big Ten to Purdue's Matt Haarms who had 79 blocks in 36 games (2.06/game).[51]

    Senior season

    Prior to the season, Teske was named to the preseason Abdul-Jabbar Award 20-man watchlist.[52] The team began the season unranked but received votes in the national polls.[53] On November 5, 2019, in a game against Appalachian State, Teske posted 17 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, for his 11th career double-double.[54][55] During the November 27 – 29. 2019, Battle 4 Atlantis, Michigan defeated Iowa State,[56][57] (#6 AP Poll/#4 Coaches Poll) North Carolina,[58][59] and (#8/#7) Gonzaga to win the tournament. In the championship game, Teske added 19 points, a career-high 15 rebounds and four blocks and was named tournament MVP.[60][61] Teske's three double-digit scoring games and 10-block/29-rebound tournament earned him co-Big Ten Player of the Week.[62] His performance helped Michigan tie the 1989–90 Kansas Jayhawks for the largest jump in the history of the AP Poll as they jumped from unranked to number 4 in the 2019–20 basketball rankings.[63] On December 5, Teske was one of six Big Ten athletes named to the Oscar Robertson Trophy Watch List.[64] On December 29, Teske posted a career-high 25 points in a win against UMass Lowell.[65][66]
