Michigan State didn’t play on Friday but not much changed for the Spartans as far as their NCAA Tournament standing goes — if anything, it improved.
The Spartans benefited from a number of bubble teams losing in their conference tournaments on Friday, and because of that, they remain as a No. 11 seed and safely in the NCAA Tournament of ESPN’s latest Bracketology from Joe Lunardi. Lunardi has the Spartans two spots above the “Last Four In” currently, and facing No. 6 seed BYU in the opening round.

There are a number of bubble games on Saturday that could affect the Spartans’ but based on where Lunardi currently has Michigan State, it seems unlikely they’ll drop out of the field at this point. Things can of course change, but Michigan State should feel pretty comfortable at this point.
Selection Sunday is tomorrow with the annual selection show on CBS starting at 6 p.m. ET. We’ll then know the Spartans’ match-up in the NCAA Tournament — or if their lengthy March Madness streak ends.
