The Wolverine guard hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament. The 6-foot-5 guard had not played extensively during his first season with Michigan and provided just 6.1 points and 1.4 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per contest. He did not start any games but helped the team make the NCAA Tournament final. As a sophomore, Poole moved into the starting lineup and averaged 12.8 points and 3.0 rebounds. He started the season slowly but scored 20 or more points in four games. While the 2019 NCAA Tournament did not feature Poole's heroics, he scored 19 points in a win over Florida. After the tournament, Poole declared his intention to apply for the 2019 NBA Draft. Poole was drafted 28th overall by the Golden State Warriors.
