Michigan State a 1-Seed in Recent Bracketology Update
There's no questioning ESPN's Joe Lunardi when it comes to bracketology, right? The guy knows a thing or two about college basketball.
In his July update, Michigan State is a 1-seed in the Midwest (Minneapolis) facing 16-seed Delaware/Fairleigh Dickinson. The Spartans would open up the NCAA tournament in Detroit if Lunardi is right about his prediction, essentially providing MSU with a home game early on.
The top seeds in the Midwest are MSU (1), Kansas (2), Creighton (3), Tennessee (4), and Oregon (5).
Baylor, Villanova, and Gonzaga are the other 1-seeds in this updated version of the 2020 NCAA tourney.
The Big Ten has nine teams in the field of 68, which is the most for any conference.
