Michigan basketball coach John Beilein didn’t want to talk about his team’s NCAA Tournament resume, when asked recently.
For starters, he said, he didn’t know the resumes of the other teams on the so-called “bubble.”
So, let’s take a look at the teams fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives, and how they stack up against Michigan, which enters the regular-season finale Saturday night against Iowa with a record of 20-10, and 10-7 in the Big Ten.
According to the latest Bracketology projections by ESPN’s expert Joe Lunardi, there are 16 teams on the bubble, including Michigan, which Lunardi has among the last four in, and playing in the “First Four” games in Dayton.
