The best time of the year on the sports calendar is here, and unfortunately the 2022-23 Michigan men’s basketball team won’t be a part of the NCAA Tournament.
As a bit of a consolation prize, the Wolverines will be a 3-seed in the NIT and will host their opening round match-up against Toledo. Maize n Brew will be there in person to cover that game.
Without Michigan in the tournament, it may be hard to figure what to root for. There’s tons of options; you can pick the teams in your bracket, you can root for the teams you bet on, or you can root for complete chaos and hope that as many lower-ranked seeds pull off the upsets that make this time of year so beautiful.
