W Michigan's current season presents a challenging path to the NCAA tournament, primarily due to a rough start and weak computer rankings. The losses to Coastal Carolina and Butler highlight significant offensive struggles, particularly the lack of scoring efficiency, which is a red flag for their tournament hopes. While the victory over Canisius was a positive note, it doesn't adequately offset their overall performance. Upcoming games against tougher opponents like Dayton and Michigan State will be critical; these contests offer the chance to bolster their resume but also risk further damaging their standing if results don't improve. To solidify their tournament aspirations, consistent wins against peers like Toledo and Akron are essential, as they’re vital for establishing credibility within the Mid-American Conference.
