Projection: need to automatically qualify
Michigan has had a tumultuous season that is unlikely to result in an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. While they had a few standout wins, notably against teams like St. John's and Ohio State, they also suffered a series of losses to key opponents in the Big Ten, including games against Purdue, Illinois, and Michigan State that could have improved their resume significantly. Their relative inconsistency on defense, as indicated by their fluctuating rankings in that area, has contributed to these missed opportunities. To enhance their case, they'll need a marquee performance in the Big Ten conference tournament to secure an automatic bid, as the overall record doesn't favor an at-large selection.
