It seemed like no matter what happened in the Big Ten championship game, the Michigan basketball team was destined to be the No. 2 seed out west.
And even though the Wolverines have to be disappointed with the third straight loss to Michigan State, their spot in the field of 68 seems like a relatively good one with Gonzaga as the top seed. Texas Tech and Florida State are the three and four seeds.
In a lot of ways, this bracket feels very similar to the one that Michigan basketball won last season in order to reach the Final Four.
