Since the huge win over Michigan State, Michigan basketball has been up and down. The Wolverines beat a good Maryland team. But, was blown out by Nebraska and struggled before beating Rutgers.
Because of that inconsistent play and the resounding loss to Nebraska, Michigan basketball dropped from a six seed, all the way to a No. 8 according to ESPN. The CBS bracket, done by Jerry Palm, still has the Wolverines listed as a seven seed, but still they are dropping. UM also fell from 23rd to 25 in the AP and coaches polls this week.
