Indianapolis — Home State
Michigan's elite field goal efficiency (51%), dominant Big Ten campaign, and tournament-tested depth make them the most complete team in the field. The Midwest path through Iowa State is manageable. Duke is the greatest threat as the #1 overall seed — their ACC title, Cameron Boozer, and Jon Scheyer's coaching give them a clear path — but Michigan's ceiling is the highest in the bracket and Indianapolis is practically a home game.
