Projected seed: 3

Michigan's resume showcases impressive wins, particularly against high-quality opponents like UCLA, who rank well in their conference, and a strong victory over Purdue, which adds significant weight to their case. Their ability to secure wins in tough environments, such as their recent performances against Indiana and Wisconsin, suggests resilience and competitiveness, key traits for a deep tournament run. However, losses to prominent teams like Maryland and Michigan State highlight some weaknesses, particularly on the defensive end, which need addressing as they head into crucial conference matchups. Maintaining their momentum against teams like Rutgers and Nebraska will be crucial, as defending their home court and winning away games could solidify their standing as a strong contender in the tournament.
