Michigan State Drops to 10-Seed in Latest Bracketology Update
East Lansing, MI – Entering his 26th season as head coach, Tom Izzo's Spartans are 8-4 overall and 2-4 within the Big Ten.
Even without Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman Sr., not many people predicted Michigan State to open conference play 0-3.
ESPN's Joe Lunardi sure didn't, who at one point had MSU tabbed as a three-seed in August, but recently dropped them to a 10-seed facing Virginia Tech in the first round.
The top teams in the Spartans region are Baylor (1), Tennessee (2), Illinois (3), Louisville (4), and Oregon (5).
As a conference, the Big Ten fielded the most teams with 10, three more than any other league.
