              According to Jerry Palm, they would play Oregon State / FSU second round.

              Dont see them losing to teams of that calibre.

                            Nice

                            Although I doubt they will be playing duke in the ship

                            Msu also lost to the eventual champ last 2 yrs

                                      It's wide open. It will likely come down to the matchups and the paths to the final four.

                                      While this is probably Izzo's weakest team in years, he is still Izzo and his lack of talent balances out because this is the weakest field of teams in quite a while.

                                      If OU can get it together and not rely on the long jumpers they can go far. Miami is a nice squad. I like Maryland but man do they play soft. I think Indiana could make a run, Yogi Ferrell can carry this team like Kemba and Napier did in past tournaments. Purdue is so solid but Matt Painter is a joke and they just never seem like they can close a big game.

                                            Uhhhhhh, what?

                                            MSU is #1 in 3PT% (.44)
                                            MSU is #1 in defensive rebounds
                                            MSU is #1 in assists per game
                                            MSU is #1 on KenPom

                                            Denzel Valentine averaging nearly 20/8/8

                                            Bryn Forbes is #3 in nation in 3PT%, #5 in 3PTs made

                                            Deyonta Davis is a borderline NBA lottery pick

                                            Put the crack pipe down buddy

                                              IMO it is the weakest Sparty team in the Valentine era, so in the last 4 years. Would you say that is wrong?

                                                  I know that. I'm basically saying this is the weakest MSU team in the last 4 years.

                                                    This team is so much better than last year's team

                                                      It's all matchups

                                                      big10 is so bad hard to judge

                                                      but can't discount izzo ever in March

                                                      Forbes is the key, if you game plan against his deep ball let Valentine get his

                                                      you have to press them, maybe 1/3/1 in full and switch to matchup zone in half just to take the shot clock down 8-10 seconds before they get set in half court where they thrive...

                                                      they arent used to that in big10 and I don't trust the ball handling in crutch time

                                                      For instance WVU or UVA would be terrible matchup for them

                                                        Fair enough. It's all opinion. Last years team made it to the final 4. If you guys get a good draw you can definitely make it there again, I personally don't think you will. But who knows.

                                                            Agreed. Personally, I think they could be on upset alert in the early rounds if the matchup is right. Take away Valentine and if Forbes isn't on, where do they go?

                                                            As far as futures go, absolute no value in Sparty.

                                                              At 5/1 currently I agree. I got them pre-season at 25/1 then again at 12/1 for small.

                                                              I strongly think MSU or KU wins it all but I don't like either at 5/1 odds.

                                                              I'm hoping on selection Sunday to get MSU at 8/1 or 10/1 if we're lucky. Only way that happens is if UNC wins ACC tourney, Oregon win PAC, Kentucky wins SEC, and/or MSU loses early in B1G.

Have the same feeling with them that I had with the Broncos - it just felt right.
