Micah's predictions for Saturday Big Ten NCAA Tournament games

Yahoo Sports

Nebraska won its last game, but in the second round vs Vanderbilt, the Huskers' struggles will catch up to them. Let's look at the Big Ten in Round 2

It should be another exciting slate of games for the Big Ten in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. While I think the Big Ten squads will have success in the second round, I do not think they will be as dominant as they were in the opening round. I think Nebraska could get exposed and knocked out.

Still, there will be ample representation for the Big Ten heading into the Sweet 16. Here are my predictions for the NCAA Tournament in the second round on Saturday for Big Ten teams: No. 1 Michigan over No.

9 Saint Louis This should be yet another matchup where the Wolverines can impose their will. Robbie Avila is an exciting player made for March Madness, but I think Aday Mara will slow him down, and Michigan will ultimately have too much firepower. I expect Yaxel Lendeborg and Morez Johnson Jr.

to both have big games, propelling Michigan to win by double digits. No. 3 Michigan State over No.
