NCAA Tournament 2021: Buy or sell Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois and Michigan?
By Adam Childs
Michigan – Sell
Michigan has looked vulnerable lately and they are going to be playing without one of their top players in Isaiah Livers to start the tournament. Losing him is a big blow, but not a deadly one for the Wolverines.
Michigan is one of the most balanced teams in the country, but they have struggled at times lately. But when they are locked in they have one of the best offensive and defensive teams in the country.
They are a force inside and out, but losing Livers is a tough blow. He was their heart and soul and one of their best scorers. They still have Hunter Dickinson and Franz Wagner leading the way and can score a multitude of different ways.
The Wolverines though have the toughest two seed in the tournament in Alabama on their side and beating them, if they get that far will be difficult.
A possible matchup with LSU in the second round could be tough for the Wolverines and Florida State in the sweet 16 could be just as tricky.
Michigan at times has looked like the best team in the country this year, but they will be a trendy pick to be the first number one seed beat in the tournament. Pick them to get to the sweet 16 or elite eight, but right now sell them for making the Final Four.
