The Spartans enter the NCAA tournament as the No. 2 seed in the South Region, their best seed since 2019, when they were also a 2 seed and reached the Final Four. MSU has won eight of its last nine games, eight in a row before falling to Wisconsin in the Big Ten tournament semifinals. Freshman Jase Richardson’s emergence has elevated MSU’s ceiling since the beginning of February. He’s averaging 17.3 points per game over the last 11 games.
