The Michigan Wolverines entered the month of March as one of the two or three most-likely teams to win a national championship, but a lot has changed in the last few weeks. The Wolverines dropped three of their last five games of the season and lost one of their best players in the process. Isaiah Livers does not appear to be likely to return for the NCAA Tournament. That has affected how this group has been perceived nationwide.
Michigan still got what appears to be a favorable draw in the East Region and may have the pieces to go on a run.
