Celebrate Michigan State getting through the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament and gear up for the Sweet 16 matchup with Kansas State.
Michigan State is rolling through the NCAA tournament as another overachieving underdog and Spartan fans are loving it.
The No. 7 seeded Michigan State handled business in their opening matchup against USC to the tune of a 72-62 win. Then came the bracket-busting.
The Spartans took their strong defensive effort from their win over the Trojans to upset the No. 2 seeded team in Marquette. It was a 69-60 second-round win.
The first weekend victories have propelled the Spartans into the program’s first Sweet 16 since 2019.
Now that we know who Michigan State will play in the first round, it’s time to celebrate the tournament berth and root the Fighting Izzos onto the Final Four.
