Note: For the seventh consecutive year, ESPN's Joe Lunardi has assigned a team of Bracketologists to put together Insider's Tournament Tips, offering in-depth breakdowns and historical analysis of the bracket for all 68 tournament teams to help you make smart picks.

Lunardi's Logic

The Wolverines shared the Big Ten regular-season title on merit. They aren't as good as Michigan State or Ohio State, but they won enough of the games that mattered to hang a banner. And I think Michigan has the right blend to win two games in this event, although a likely third-round match up against Temple is a coin flip at best.

Plus, you can enlist the help of Insider's Bracket Predictor tool to aid your picks.

Once the action starts, follow all the games on your desktop with our discreet RealTime Scoreboard.
