See who Michigan State would play if the Big Ten Tournament were to start today

If the Big Ten Tournament were to start today, the Spartans would be playing on Thursday in the second round.

The Big Ten Tournament is just about a month away now, and that means fans are starting to dive into how the bracket could shape up for their favorite teams. For the Spartans, they’d currently be just outside the double-bye as a No. 5 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

Michigan State would play the winner of Ohio State and Maryland in their opening game of the tournament. Should they win that matchup, they’d move on to face Northwestern in the quarterfinals on Friday.

MSU basketball gets double-bye, lands as No. 4 seed in Big Ten Tournament

Michigan State basketball will not return to the court until Friday — which is exactly what they were hoping for entering Sunday

Michigan State basketball will not return to the court until Friday, which is exactly what it was hoping for entering Sunday.

The Spartans were able to watch the rest of the league on Sunday, and the results went their way, giving them the No. 4 seed and a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. The other three teams finishing with the double-bye are Purdue (No. 1 seed), Northwestern (No. 2) and Indiana (No. 3).

Michigan State beat Ohio State on Saturday afternoon to end the regular season 19-11 overall and 11-8 in conference. On Sunday, wins by Penn State over Maryland, Purdue over Illinois and Nebraska over Iowa bumped the Spartans to the No. 4 seed. Michigan State would have moved up to the No. 3 seed had Rutgers also won at home against Northwestern.

Michigan State will face the winner between No. 5 Iowa and the No. 12 Wisconsin/No. 13 Ohio State winner on Friday at approximately 2:30 p.m. ET.

Breaking down where MSU could land in Big Ten Tournament seeding

Michigan State currently sits at No. 7 in the Big Ten Tournament seeding, but here’s how they can move up on the final day of the regular season

Michigan State basketball has officially finished their regular season, capping it off with a victory over Oho State on Saturday.

The Spartans’ victory over the Buckeyes improved them to 11-8 in conference play and kept them alive for potentially landing a double-bye in next week’s Big Ten Tournament. As things stand today, the Spartans are in seventh place in the league and can only rise depending on results from Sunday’s final games of the regular season.

Here’s how things break down for the Spartans and how their seeding will be decided, according to Paul Fanson of Spartans Illustrated:

So it surely seems like there’s a good chance Michigan State will be moving up from their current placement of seventh. But how far do we think? I personally see at least two of those needed results occurring and a good chance we’ll get three of the four. So that would mean I’m projecting Michigan State to land as the No. 4 seed and in fact get the double-bye.

We will find out soon enough, but Sunday should be a lot of fun for Spartans fans as they watch the rest of the league wrap up their regular seasons.
