The first season of the Dusty May era in Ann Arbor that started with a roar ended in a whimper, as the Michigan Wolverines capped off the regular season with a 17-point shellacking at the hands of the Spartans of Michigan State in East Lansing, ending the year on a three-game losing streak.
The 22-9 Wolverines wound up losing to teams like unranked Illinois (93-73), No. 13 Maryland (71-65) and Michigan State (79-62), but finish the regular season with a 14-6 record in Big Ten play, finishing in a tie with the Terrapins for second place in the conference, three games behind the Spartans.
Looking forward, May and company are currently listed at +8000 to win the national title on DraftKings Sportsbook, with MSU having sewn up the Big Ten regular season crown, with the conference tournament tipping off from Indianapolis on March 12, with less than a week to go until Selection Sunday.
For now, BetMichigan.com used its Michigan sports betting experts to break down the odds on where the Wolverines will be seeded come Selection Sunday, with a second seed looking like the most likely landing spot come mid-March.
Seed | Percentage Chance | Odds |
2 Seed | +2675 | 3.6% |
3 Seed | +385 | 20.6% |
4 Seed | +250 | 28.6% |
5 Seed | +315 | 24.1% |
6 Seed | +630 | 13.7% |
7 Seed | +1500 | 6.3% |
The Field | +3125 | 3.1% |
These odds are provided by BetMichigan.com, where real money Michigan sportsbook promo codes are available any time.
Entering conference tournament week, May and the Wolverines hold +250 odds of being a fourth seed in the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, while UM also has +315 odds of dropping to the fifth seed line come Sunday.
Michigan also has +630 odds of being a sixth seed, +1500 odds of being a seventh seed and +2675 odds of being a two seed in this year’s March Madness field, though for now, May and his staff are tasked with going back to the drawing board ahead of UM’s Big Ten Tournament opener on Friday evening.
