Now that Michigan basketball and the rest of the college hoops world knows who is going to the NBA and who is coming back, the time for preseason prognostication is here.
Just a few days ago, USA Today released its updated top-25 rankings for the 2017-18 season, only Michigan basketball wasn’t among the top 25 teams. ESPN and CBS also left UM out of their early top 25 rankings.
In USA Today, the Wolverines were close and it was noted at the bottom, that they received consideration. However, that still left UM ranked behind Michigan State, Northwestern and Minnesota.
