UM men:

Is Michigan a No. 1 seed lock, per the bracketology?​

Michigan, along with Duke and Arizona — both teams that won their respective conference tournaments on Saturday night — are likely locks to be No. 1 seeds when the bracket is revealed on Sunday evening. Keep up with the latest bracketology chatter on the soon-to-be-announced field with the Detroit News' Tony Paul.

The real questions, really, revolve around whether Michigan can unseat Duke for the No. 1 seed and where the Wovlerines will head for its first round games.

Odds are that the Wolverines haven't done enough to squeeze Duke, which beat Michigan, from the top spot. And all signs are pointing toward Michigan heading to Chicago for the first weekend of the tournament. The Big Ten tournament final tipping off so close to the bracket reveal also means any result from that game is unlikely to shift Michigan's seeding.
