The NCAA Men’s Basketball Selection Committee revealed a preview of their top-16 seeds in their tournament bracket if the season were to end today live on CBS on Saturday, and Michigan State just made the cut as the last 4-seed announced.
The Selection Committee placed them in the Midwest region with No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Dayton, No. 3 Florida State, and then MSU at No. 4.
As of right now, these teams are No. 1 seeds in their regions:
- Baylor
- Kansas
- San Diego State
- Gonzaga

Michigan State is one of just two Big Ten teams to make the top-16, with Maryland listed as a No. 3 seed in the East Region. This isn’t exactly a shock, as the Big Ten has been filled with so much parity this year most teams have had a tough time keeping a solid record. I still expect the Big Ten to have a strong presence and showing in the tournament overall.
