3. Michigan basketball is NIT bound pending their acceptance
The maize and blue surely will not have an eventful selection Sunday this year. They are 100% headed to the NIT, as long as they accept the invite. They’ll have to wait till Sunday night at 10:00 on ESPNU to find out who they will play in the secondary postseason tournament that no one strives for when you start the season.
They’ll likely host a home game or two depending on how their draw plays out. They are looking at a two or three-seed at best. According to dratings.com, Michigan basketball is listed as a two-seed. That can and will change over the next few days with teams still on the bubble needing to win to bypass the NIT and dance in the primary tournament.
The NIT begins on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and will be broadcasted on the ESPN family of networks.
