MSU Women’s Basketball listed in ESPN’s NCAA Tournament bracket projection

Could Michigan State’s women’s basketball program be heading back to the NCAA Tournament?

Could Michigan State’s women’s basketball program be heading back to the NCAA Tournament? For now, it’s looking like that’ll be the case.

The Spartans are off to a strong start this season, currently holding a 13-5 overall record at roughly the halfway point of the year. That strong start is good enough to have Michigan State currently projected to make the NCAA Tournament, according to Charlie Creme of ESPN.

Creme put out an updated NCAA Tournament bracket projection on Tuesday, which included the Spartans. Michigan State is currently slotted as a No. 9 seed in Creme’s projected field of 68.

Michigan State hasn’t made the NCAA Tournament since 2021, and has only made it once in the past four years.

MSU basketball moves up in latest update of ESPN bracketology

The Spartans have moved up in ESPN’s latest batch of bracketology that was released on Friday

The Spartans have moved up in ESPN’s latest bracketology released on Friday.

Michigan State picked up a less-than-impressive victory over Minnesota on Thursday night to improve to 11-7 overall and 3-4 in Big Ten play this year. While the win wasn’t anything special, it did helped boost the Spartans from a No. 9 seed to a No. 8 seed in Joe Lunardi’s updated NCAA Tournament bracket projection.

In Lunardi’s most recent update, the Spartans face a No. 9 seed in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Should they win that figurative matchup, the Spartans would most likely play No. 1 seed Kansas in the second round.

Six Big Ten teams were listed in Lunardi’s updated bracket projection. Check out the complete bracket by clicking on the tweet below:

ESPN Bracketology: MSU basketball safely in NCAA Tournament updated field

MSU’s recent success has moved them off the bubble and squarely in the NCAA Tournament, according to Joe Lunardi of ESPN

Michigan State’s recent success has moved them off the bubble and squarely in the NCAA Tournament, according to Joe Lunardi of ESPN.

The Spartans are currently riding a four-game winning streak and that has pushed Michigan State up to a No. 8 seed in Lunardi’s updated NCAA Tournament bracket projection that was released on Tuesday. Michigan State is projected to face No. 9 seed Gonzaga in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Just a few weeks ago, Michigan State was sitting outside the projected NCAA Tournament field but that flipped after the Spartans blew out Baylor. Since then, Michigan State was risen back to safely in the big dance (for now of course).

The Spartans’ are listed as No. 12 seed in a play-in game against No. 12 seed Washington in DeCourcy’s updated bracket projection. If Michigan State were to win this figurative matchup, they would face No. 5 seed BYU.

Michigan State is 6-5 overall but has played better in the past week with impressive blowout wins over Baylor and Oakland. Those two wins have boosted the Spartans’ resume and put them back into the mix for the NCAA Tournament in bracket projections like this.

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.

MSU basketball listed in ‘Last Four In’ of updated ESPN Bracketology

Michigan State basketball has gone from a projected No. 1 seed to a bubble squad in a month

Michigan State basketball has gone from a projected No. 1 seed to a bubble squad in a month.

The first month of the Michigan State basketball season has not gone as planned with the Spartans struggling thus far. The Spartans are 4-4 overall and have lost all four of their matchups against ranked foes — including a double-digit home loss to Wisconsin earlier this week.

The latest loss has plummeted the Spartans to one of the last four teams in the field of 68 in ESPN’s updated Bracketology. Michigan State opened the season as one of the projected No. 1 seeds.

Where Michigan State currently sits in ESPN’s updated batch of Bracketology shouldn’t come as any surprise, but does speak volumes about how bad things have gone so far. Hopefully, the Spartans can start to get things back on track on Sunday in a road game at Nebraska.
