Tennessee Volunteers @ Michigan Wolverines March Madness Pick

Tennessee Volunteers @ Michigan Wolverines March Madness Pick: The Tennessee Volunteers are a crazy team to try and understand, but I think I might have a read on them. The Vols play their best basketball against their biggest and best competition, and have a number of hiccups against teams they should beat. While that might give them a shot to upset Duke if they get past the round of 64, I’m pretty sure it makes them a team to pick against going up against Michigan.

The Wolverines had a solid season in a tough Big 10, but the Volunteers have more talent and should probably beat Michigan if everything depended on that. But it doesn’t.

The Wolverines have been pretty feisty all season long, playing tight with teams they shouldn’t be hanging with, and winning a few big games in the process. They have shown they can hang with the best college basketball has to offer, and with everyone expecting the talented Vols to walk over the Wolverines, I think Michigan comes out ready to prove themselves in the Big Dance.
