Big Ten title boosts UM in brackets; MSU slips in ESPN projection

Michigan is moving up.

The Wolverines are making a move in the seed lines in updated NCAA Tournament projections, climbing to a No. 3 seed in Joe Lunardi’s bracket for ESPN, and No. 4 in Jerry Palm’s for CBS Sports on Monday.

In Lunardi’s bracket, Michigan (28-7) climbed two spots since Saturday, on the strength of its second straight Big Ten tournament title — a run that included victories over NCAA locks Michigan State and Purdue, among others.

Neither bracketologist has the Wolverines playing at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
