Much like last year, Michigan enters the NCAA Tournament as the red-hot Big Ten Tournament champion. And just like last season, there were times earlier in the year where the Wolverines looked more like a bubble team. So where will that leave them a few days from now, on Selection Sunday?
According to bracket experts, Michigan is looking at a 3 or 4 seed. That's where any consensus starts and ends. Projections have the Wolverines opening NCAA Tournament play in Detroit, San Diego, and several cities in between.
The fact that Michigan has won nine games in a row shouldn't matter to the committee or anyone trying to forecast the bracket.
