The college basketball staff at CBS Sports is not high on the Spartans entering the 2023-24 season.

Of the six CBS Sports college basketball writers that submitted their Final Four picks for the 2023-24 season, only one has the Spartans reaching the final weekend of the season. David Cobb was the lone writer to have Michigan State in his Final Four.

The most popular pick was Purdue with all six writers having the Boilermakers in the Final Four. The most common pick to win the National Championship was Kansas, with three writers picking the Jayhawks.

Cutting Down Nets: Spartans Wire staff picks who’ll reach Final Four

Does the Spartans Wire staff think Michigan State can reach the Final Four? See our picks for each region

Michigan State is back in the Sweet 16 with a good chance at reaching the Final Four.

The Spartans are one of 16 teams still alive. Michigan State, in particular, has a relatively decent chance of making Tom Izzo’s ninth Final Four with a solid draw in the East Region. The Spartans will play No. 3 seed Kansas State on Thursday night. If they win, they will play the winner between No. 4 seed Tennessee and No. 9 FAU in the Elite Eight on Saturday.

Michigan State is listed as a favorite over Kansas State and very well could be favored in the Elite Eight. So does the Spartans Wire staff think Michigan State will reach the Final Four? See our updated picks for each region and who we think will be cutting down the nets in the end:
