Bracket Watch: March 2nd, 2022

Tony Natoci is back this year to provide regular bracket updates as we lead up to the NCAA Tournament. Natoci, who was one of only three bracketologists to correctly predict all 68 teams in last year’s field, publishes his own bracket at Heartbreak City and will outline where Michigan stands in current bracketology models, both in his own bracket and notable national brackets, along with updates and insights about the process, key bubble games to watch, and more.

Hello again, friends, and welcome to March. It’s always exciting when the calendar turns over to the month of college hoops, and Michigan’s Tuesday night win over Michigan State means its postseason chances are still alive. 

The month of February wasn’t perfect by any means, but Michigan did enough to steady the ship and put itself in a position to play meaningful March basketball games. Last night’s win over the Spartans keeps the Wolverines on schedule to make the dance. Let’s all grab a leftover paczki and dive in to the numbers.
