INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- For the fourth time in program history, the third-ranked University of Michigan men's basketball team earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will be the top team in the Midwest Regional, the NCAA Selection Committee announced Sunday (March 15).

Michigan (Midwest) was one of four No. 1 seeds along with Duke (East), Arizona (West) and Florida (South). U-M will serve as the top seed in the Midwest Region. The Wolverines previously earned No. 1 seeds in 1985 (Southeast; second round), 1993 (West; national runner-up) and 2021 (East; Elite Eight).

The Wolverines will begin their NCAA Tournament run in Buffalo, N.Y., facing the winner of the First Four matchup between No. 16 seeds UMBC (24-8, 14-2 America East) and Howard (23-10, 11-3 MEAC) at KeyBank Center on Thursday (March 19) at 7:10 p.m. The game will be televised on CBS. If Michigan advances, it will face either No. 8 seed Georgia or No. 9 seed Saint Louis in the second round on Saturday (March 21).

If U-M advances from Buffalo, it would reach the Sweet 16 for a seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance and head to Chicago, Ill., to play at the United Center beginning Friday (March 27).

Michigan enters the NCAA Tournament with a 31-3 overall record, one of the most dominant seasons in program history. The Wolverines recorded 24 victories by double figures, including 13 by 20 or more points, 10 by 30 or more and a Big Ten-record seven wins by 40 or more points.

In a record-breaking conference season, U-M's 19-1 record in Big Ten play captured the program's 16th league title. The Wolverines closed the regular season by winning their final 15 Big Ten games, setting both the program and conference record for league victories.

Continuing to make history, Michigan finished a perfect 10-0 in Big Ten road games, becoming just the second team in conference history to go unbeaten in league road play and the first to do so in 50 years. The Wolverines joined Indiana's 9-0 mark during its perfect 1975-76 season.

U-M advanced to the Big Ten Tournament championship game for the second straight season, defeating No. 8 seed Ohio State (71-67) in the quarterfinals and No. 5 seed Wisconsin (68-65) in the semifinals before falling to No. 7 seed Purdue (80-72) in the title game.

The Wolverines' selection marks the fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance for head coach Dusty May. May led Florida Atlantic to the 2023 Final Four before guiding Michigan to the Sweet 16 in his first season in Ann Arbor.

From one of the strongest conferences in the nation, Michigan is joined in the field of 68 by eight other Big Ten schools:

• No. 1 seed Michigan (Midwest Region) • No. 2 seed Purdue (West Region) • No. 3 seed Illinois (South Region) • No. 3 seed Michigan State (East Region) • No. 4 seed Nebraska (South Region) • No. 5 seed Wisconsin (West Region) • No. 7 seed UCLA (East Region) • No. 8 seed Ohio State (East Region) • No. 9 seed Iowa (South Region)

NCAA Tournament Notes

• Since 2013, Michigan has advanced to eight Sweet 16s, tied with Duke for the second-most nationally during that span. Only Gonzaga (9) has more over that stretch.

• In the 2013 Sweet 16, No. 4 seed Michigan erased a 14-point second-half deficit to stun No. 1 seed Kansas, 87-85 in overtime. Trailing late in regulation, National Player of the Year Trey Burke drilled a deep three-pointer from well beyond the top of the key with under five seconds remaining to tie the game and force overtime, helping propel U-M to its first Elite Eight appearance since 1994.

• The Wolverines have advanced to the Elite Eight 15 times, including four times since 2013.

• Michigan has reached eight Final Fours (1964, 1965, 1976, 1989, 1992*, 1993*, 2013, 2018) and has played for the national championship seven times.

• The Wolverines' most recent Final Four runs came in 2013 and 2018 under John Beilein, with Michigan finishing as the national runner-up both seasons.

• During Michigan's famed "Shock the World" run in 1989, the Wolverines captured the program's only national championship when Rumeal Robinson sank two free throws with three seconds remaining to lift U-M to an 80-79 overtime victory against Seton Hall.

• That championship run was powered by U-M legend Glen Rice, who was named Most Outstanding Player and set an NCAA Tournament record that still stands today with 184 points (30.6 ppg) in the six-game run.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Storm Team 2 has issued a for the damaging wind gusts and potential for severe weather.

A High Wind Warning is in effect for Chautauqua and southern Erie counties through 8 a.m. Tuesday. Wind gusts, especially those along the Chautauqua Ridge and the Lake Erie shoreline, could reach up to 60 mph Monday morning.

The rest of Western New York — including Niagara, Orleans, northern Erie, Genesee, Wyoming, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties — is under a Wind Advisory through 8 a.m. Tuesday. Northern Pennsylvania, including McKean and Potter counties, is under the same advisory through 11 a.m. These spots could see winds gusting up to 50mph. There is also A Winter Weather Advisory for this area from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m. Tuesday. A few inches of snow are possible.

Regardless of the exact weather alert, these winds will be strong enough to knock down tree limbs or power lines. Any outdoor furniture should be properly secured or taken inside.

And even though the worst of these winds is coming before sunrise on Monday, we are going to hold onto gusty conditions even after the cold front comes through, helping to deliver a punch of much colder air for the start of this upcoming week.

The cold front arrives around mid to late morning bringing rain at the onset. This will make for a generally damp afternoon with some localized pockets of heavier rain. The arrival of this front will also come along with the chance for some isolated severe weather, especially to the south and east of Western New York. Counties like Allegany, McKean, and Potter have the greatest chance of seeing severe weather, with the greatest threat being damaging straight line winds but the chance for a tornado is not zero, it is a small chance, but not out of the question.

As the front exits winds shift to coming out of the west and temperatures will quickly plummet through the afternoon. By the evening commute, most of the rain will switch over to snow and continue through dinnertime before exiting later that night.

Even after the snow has moved out, our temperatures keep dropping through Tuesday morning. We are waking up to lows in the teens. And while winds will have let up a little, we'll still have gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range. That will be enough to keep the teens feeling more like the single digits.

Buffalo, NY – A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect across eastern Lake Ontario as heavy snow and strong winds create hazardous travel conditions.

According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, the warning covers Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties through 2 p.m. Saturday as lake-effect snow continues across the region. Additional snowfall totals of 10 to 18 inches are expected, with wind gusts up to 45 mph producing blowing and drifting snow. ❄️

Forecasters say the heaviest accumulations are likely across the Tug Hill Plateau, where persistent lake-effect bands could push totals toward the upper end of the forecast range.

Lower elevations closer to Lake Ontario are expected to receive smaller totals, with 3 to 5 inches anticipated in communities such as Watertown and Oswego.

The storm is expected to significantly impact travel, particularly during the Friday evening commute, as snow-covered roads and blowing snow reduce visibility. ⚠️

Officials warn that gusty winds may also down tree branches and lead to isolated power outages in parts of the region.

Drivers traveling through higher elevations or areas affected by lake-effect bands may encounter rapidly changing road conditions overnight into Saturday.

The National Weather Service advises residents to use caution when traveling and to monitor updated forecasts as snowfall bands shift.

For commuters, the storm may slow travel times across northern New York highways and rural roads through Saturday morning.

Weather officials also encourage residents to submit snow reports through the National Weather Service website or social media channels.
