Michigan State basketball has had an up-and-down stretch of games over the past two weeks, but their seeding in the NCAA Tournament hasn't shifted, according to Joe Lunardi of ESPN.
Lunardi released an updated batch of "Bracketology" on Tuesday, which again has the Spartans as a top seed in the currently projected NCAA Tournament. The latest bracket projection from Lunardi has the Spartans as the No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region.
In Lunardi's latest bracket projection, the Spartans would face No. 14 seed North Dakota State in a first round matchup from Philadelphia. Should the Spartans win their first round matchup, then they'd face the winner of No. 6 seed Arkansas-No. 11 seed Miami (FL)/No. 11 seed New Mexico in the second round.
Michigan State is 20-4 overall and 10-3 in Big Ten play on the year, considered by some as a lock already to reach the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans have a number of tough games remaining to help bolster their seeding before we hit Selection Sunday in mid-March.
The Spartans will next take the court on Friday in a road game at Wisconsin. Tipoff from Madison, Wisc. is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.
