ESPN Bracketology: MSU basketball listed as final team in field

If the season ended today, Michigan State basketball would be in the NCAA Tournament by the skin of their teeth

If the season ended today, Michigan State basketball would be in the NCAA Tournament by the skin of their teeth, according to Joe Lunardi of ESPN.

In one week’s time, Michigan State basketball has played its way back into the NCAA Tournament field in the eye of Lunardi. Last week, Michigan State wasn’t even in the mix for his updated bracketology but on Tuesday, Michigan State is the final team in his field.

The Spartans have picked up a pair of dominant wins in the past few days, including a blowout of previously undefeated Baylor. That win plus Monday’s victory over Oakland has pushed the Spartans back into the field of 68.

See where ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has Michigan State in his early NCAA Tournament projection for the 2022-23 season

Michigan State basketball hasn’t had a great offseason thus far, and it’s starting to be reflected in Joe Lunardi’s early NCAA Tournament bracket projections for next season.

Lunardi released an updated batch of bracketology on Tuesday, which saw the Spartans drop one seed line to a No. 6 seed. The Spartans were a No. 5 seed in Lunardi’s previous bracket update in April.

In this projected NCAA Tournament from Lunardi, the Spartans would play No. 11 seed St. John’s in a first round matchup from Orlando. It’s unclear if the Spartans’ seeding includes the news that broke on Monday night that Max Christie would not be returning for his sophomore season next year.
