Michigan State Basketball Soars Toward Tournament

0:00On March 2nd, Michigan State Basketball is heating up at just the right time. The Spartans grab road winds over top 10 Purdue and Indiana this week, stretching their winning streak to four games. That performance has bracket experts bumping them up toward a number two seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. Their overall record now stands at 24 wins and five losses, with 14 wins and four losses in Big 10 Play. They've racked up quality victories against teams like Arkansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Illinois and Purdue. Most of their losses came against ranked opponents, building a strong tournament resume. Braketologists jumped on the bandwagon right after the Indiana win, calling the Spartans a solid contender for at least a number two or three seed. It's a big shift from just two weeks ago when a blowout loss that Wisconsin had folks worried about their slide. Getting ahead, Michigan State has two regular season games left. Rutgers visits on Thursday, then a rivalry road game at Michigan.

1:00They're all but guaranteed a triple buy in the Big 10 Tournament starting Friday. With Selection Sunday only two weeks away, the Spartans are prime to keep climbing if they stay hot. The madness is about to kick in the high gear. The madness is about to kick into high gear, the Spartans are prime to keep climbing if they stay hot. The madness is about to kick in the high gear.
