No play-in game for Michigan State next year, according to Joe Lunardi of ESPN.

Lunardi released his first batch of bracketology for the 2021-22 college basketball season, and he believes the Spartans will fare much better next season. Lunardi has Michigan State as a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region playing No. 13 seed Colegate. In Lunardi’s projected bracket, the Spartans would potentially play Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Other Big Ten teams listed in Lunardi’s first batch of bracketology are Michigan (No. 2 seed), Purdue (No. 2 seed), Ohio State (No. 2 seed), Maryland (No. 3 seed), Indiana (No. 7 seed), Illinois (No. 8 seed) and Northwestern (No. 11 seed). Joey brackets has Wisconsin as one of the “Next Four Out” as well.

With how the Spartans’ roster currently sits, a No. 4 seed seems about right. Michigan State does have two open scholarships currently so I would think this seed line would only go up depending on who is added to the roster via the transfer portal or a potential early enrollment for mega 5-star recruit Emoni Bates.
