Theoretically going to Michigan makes sense. It's the Big 10. Juwan Howard has about as many high level NBA ties as anyone in the country. However, when the season ended they were in ninth place and not going to The Dance which is Chaundee's #1 priority. Add to this, Michigan's leading scorer is a swing SG/SF who is returning. Their #4 scorer was a frosh SG. They also signed a Top 75 SG. It looks like Chaundee would have to share minutes there.
Lunardi had them as a 6 seed. They were #16 in KenPom with wins over Gonzaga and Creighton. There was no scenario where Michigan wasn't going to the tournament other than a pandemic coming to the US and having the tournament cancelled.
