Where Michigan basketball is predicted to go in latest NCAA Tournament bracketology ahead of Selection Sunday
It was a game to remember for Michigan basketball and fans on Saturday to witness the Wolverines beating Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals. Michigan took a double-digit lead in the second half but the Terrapins would re-gain the lead with eight minutes remaining. Rubin Jones would foul out and send Derik Queen to the line who would hit both free throws to give Maryland a one-point lead with just seconds remaining. Point guard Tre Donaldson would go coast-to-coast with three dribbles for a layup with 0.4 seconds left on the clock to send the Wolverines to the Big Ten Tournament Championship with an 81-80 win over Maryland.
Entering Saturday, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi had the Wolverines as a five-seed in the NCAA Tournament after beating Purdue on Friday night. But after seeing Michigan take down Maryland, Lunardi gave the Wolverines a bump in his latest projections. After Saturday’s games, Michigan is now projected as a five-seed by Lunardi and would face MAC winner Akron in the first round. Michigan would be in the West Region and have Florida as the top seed in the bracket.
It’s worth noting, Lunardi has Wisconsin as a three-seed in his projections. If Michigan could beat the Badgers to win the Big Ten Tournament, it’s possible Lunardi could swap the two teams and give the Wolverines a three-seed heading into the tournament reveal.

Police said Dequan Gravely, 23, of Charles County, was driving northbound on Route 210 near Pine Drive when his Mercedes collided with the school bus turning left from the southbound lanes.
The driver of a car involved in a crash with a Prince George’s County school bus in Accokeek, Maryland, on Friday has been identified.
Prince George’s County police said Dequan Gravely, 23, of Bryans Road in Charles County, was driving northbound on Route 210 near Pine Drive around 7:20 a.m. when his Mercedes collided with the school bus turning left from the southbound lanes.
Investigators said the crash happened in the intersection, causing the school bus to flip onto its side. Gravely died at the scene.
The school bus driver was transported to a hospital and treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police said no students were on the bus at the time of the crash.
Investigators said they believe debris from the collision damaged a third vehicle. The driver of that vehicle “declined medical attention,” police said.
The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 301-731-4422.

A D.C. man won $5 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket in Maryland last week, and the matching number that netted him the prize happened to be his age.
Talk about a birthday surprise! A D.C. man won $5 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket in Maryland last week, and the matching number that netted him the prize happened to be his age.
Maurice Williams, a school bus driver in D.C., claimed the first top prize on a $5,000,000 LUXE scratch-off. He had used his $50 winnings from a previous LUXE scratch-off ticket to buy a new one the next day.
In a release from the Maryland Lottery, Williams said he didn’t know he had won until he scanned the ticket: “It’s crazy because the matching number was 59 and I just turned 59 the other day.”
Williams said he sat in shock for a while before calling his mother.
He said he plans to buy his mother a house with the winnings and then save up.
Two more top prizes from the scratch-off have yet to be claimed, the Maryland Lottery said, as well as nine $200,000 prizes, 10 $50,000 prizes and thousands of prizes ranging from $50 to $10,000.
