Michigan State basketball is on the rise! After two straight top five wins against Illinois and Ohio State, the Spartans are now among the first four out in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology. It seems like the Spartans have turned the corner on the season at the right time.
The Spartans next game is against Maryland on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. EST. Then they have Indiana and home and a vigorous home-and-home versus Michigan to finish off the regular season. Many people are saying Michigan State needs to win two or three of these last four games to get into the NCAA tournament and possibly win a Big Ten tournament game.
The other three teams that are in the first four out are Stanford, Minnesota and Richmond. Michigan State also has five quadrant-1 wins now which places them in the top 15 in NCAA basketball.
It will be a tough end of season schedule for the Spartans to try and make the NCAA tournament. But, the Spartans look to have found what it will take to make the tournament.
