Well man:
Is Michigan a No. 1 seed lock based on bracket theory?
Michigan, Duke and Arizona — two teams that won their respective conference tournaments on Saturday night — will likely lock up the No. 1 seeds when the bracket is revealed on Sunday night. Join The Detroit News’ Tony Paul for the latest scaffolding discussions in the field, which will be announced soon.

The Wolverines may not have done enough to knock Duke, which beat Michigan, off the top spot. All signs point to Michigan heading to Chicago for the first weekend of the tournament. The fact that the Big Ten tournament finals were decided so close also means that any outcome in this game is unlikely to change Michigan’s seeding.
