Michigan’s region, the No.2 seed is Alabama, the No.3 seed is Texas, and the No.4 seed is Florida State. This is a very favorable region for Michigan, they could beat every team in this region. 

Prediction: A loss in the Elite Eight

Michigan State seed: 11 play in game

One of the more controversial committee decisions this year, Michigan has to play UCLA in the “First four” game. Many people thought Michigan State was locked in to get a bye, but the 9-11 conference record along with the loss to Maryland in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament cost Michigan State. If Michigan State beats UCLA they will play BYU in the round of 64. 

Prediction: Loss in the Round of 64
