Michigan Wolverines at Rutgers Scarlet Knights Preview: A team game

Kyle Yost is a Michigan sports expert across several different teams. In addition to his writing and editorial duties at MnB, he's a Lions editor for Pride of Detroit, a Tigers contributor for Bless You Boys, and a Tottenham Hotspur supporter with Cartilage Free Captain for some international flair.

Many bracket projections have the Michigan Wolverines as a No. 5 seed right now. Some nights, they look like a team capable of knocking off a No. 1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen; other nights, a 5-12 upset feels far too realistic. Great teams can beat other great teams, but good teams should at least handle lesser competition, which has become a shockingly tough challenge as of late.
