Preview

The second round of the NCAA Tournament is set to begin, and one of the most exciting matchups of the day will be between the No. 1 seed Alabama Crimson Tide and the Maryland Terrapins. This game promises to be a high-scoring affair, with both teams boasting talented players who can light up the scoreboard. In this article, we will provide an in-depth analysis of both teams and make our expert March Madness predictions and picks.

Vanderbilt Commodores

The Vanderbilt Commodores and Michigan Wolverines will face off in the National Invitation Tournament in what promises to be an exciting matchup. In this article, we will provide expert March Madness predictions and picks for the game.

The Commodores have had a decent season, going 21-14 overall and 11-7 against SEC opponents. They have also managed to win 8 out of their last 10 games, averaging 75.5 points per game while allowing only 71.3 points to their opponents. Liam Robbins has been the team's standout performer, averaging 15 points, 6.8 rebounds, and three blocks per game. Tyrin Lawrence has also been in great form, averaging 17.2 points over the past 10 games.

Michigan Wolverines

Michigan Wolverines have been having a challenging season, struggling to find their rhythm in the highly competitive Big Ten conference. They finished the regular season with a record of 18-15, and were 11-9 against conference opponents. Michigan lost five of their last ten games, which included a 68-67 defeat to Maryland in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.

One of the Wolverines' major issues this season has been their defense. They allowed an average of 70.2 points per game to their opponents, which puts them in the bottom half of Division I teams in terms of points allowed. The Wolverines will have to step up their defense if they hope to make a deep run in the NIT.

Despite their struggles, the Wolverines have some bright spots in their roster. Freshman point guard Dug McDaniel has been a consistent performer, averaging 8.3 points and 3.6 assists per game. Hunter Dickinson, a 7-foot-1 center, has been a dominant force in the paint, averaging 14.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He has also been in great form recently, averaging 19.2 points over the last 10 games.

Overall, the Wolverines will need to bring their A-game on both ends of the court if they hope to advance in the NIT tournament. They will need to tighten up their defense and rely on the solid performances of McDaniel and Dickinson to overcome a tough Vanderbilt team.
