What a thrilling March Madness it has been so far for the Michigan Wolverines.
From a big comeback victory over Colorado State in the first round to a lockdown defensive effort in the final minutes against Tennessee, the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament have been memorable for the Go Blue faithful.
Now, with 16 teams remaining in the original 68-team field, Michigan is still alive with a chance to win a national championship. The Wolverines’ odds to win it all were long when the tournament started, and now they’re a little bit shorter.
Next up for No. 11 seed Michigan is a Sweet 16 matchup against No. 2 seed Villanova on Thursday. Let’s take a look at the betting odds for that game and for adjusted futures odds available for Michigan sports bettors.
