Projected seed: 2

Michigan's performance this season showcases both promise and pitfalls. Victories against strong opponents like Wisconsin and Purdue highlight their ability to compete with elite teams. However, their inconsistencies, such as narrow losses to Arkansas and Michigan State, raise concerns. Solid wins against teams like Xavier and TCU bolster their resume, but defensive shortcomings against higher-ranked teams could be a vulnerability in the tournament. With crucial upcoming matchups against Illinois and Maryland, opportunities to solidify their standing abound, yet a slip-up could threaten their positioning. Overall, while Michigan is well-positioned, their trajectory could hinge on closing out the season strong and addressing defensive lapses.
