The top seeds for this year’s tournament heavily feature teams from the ACC, including Duke, Gonzaga, Tennessee, and North Carolina. However, there is some controversy surrounding Michigan State’s seeding as a 2nd seed despite a strong argument for a 1st seed. Adding to the intrigue, Michigan State finds itself in the same bracket as the overall 1st seed, Duke. If both teams advance as expected, an exciting Elite Eight matchup awaits.
Winning the tournament requires facing the best teams in the nation, so complaints about tough matchups can be dismissed. Michigan State will kick off their tournament run against Bradley, the champions of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Traditionally, mid-major schools have been overlooked in favor of teams from bigger conferences. However, this year’s bracket bucks that trend, featuring smaller universities and creating opportunities for underdog stories. NCAA.com provides a link to view and print the bracket for those interested in participating in this thrilling tradition.
