The Michigan men's basketball team takes on South Dakota State on Thursday at 7:15 p.m. at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the opening round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament (CBS).

Michigan is favored by 11 points and even among the most upset minded of of all contrarians, the Wolverines are a popular pick.
