It has been a pretty good season up to this point for Michigan basketball. But after Sunday’s 74-62 win over Ohio State, the season is now a success. Not only because beating the Buckeyes is sweet, but also because the Wolverines are now virtually guaranteed of making the NCAA Tournament.
Coming into the weekend, Michigan basketball (22-7, 11-5) was in solid position. The Wolverines were not only ranked No. 22 in the AP poll, but they were also projected in the tournament by ESPN, Fox Sports, USA Today and CBS. UM wasn’t quite considered a sure thing however, in part because of only a couple of really good wins.
