Get to know UCLA: How the Spartans stack up with the Bruins

Michigan State’s lengthy NCAA Tournament streak is still alive.

The Spartans were selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament for a 23rd consecutive season — which is now the second-longest active streak. However, this year’s tournament will mark a first for the Spartans as they will start out in a “First Four” play-in game against UCLA.
