we're about 30 minutes out. Last chance for predictions. I say we're a 6 seed and we go 1-1 in the tournament. Good year overall, and we'll be back next year.

We deserve a 5 seed. Being MSU, that usually lands us a 7 seed. No bad losses and a top 20 net. No reason we should not be a 5 seed, but I?ve been watching MSU sports my entire life and know that we rarely get what we deserve when the human element is involved in the selection process.
I'm going with a 6 seed
6 is the safe bet... please don't pair us with TT or FSU though
Yeah I'm hoping for Houston, but even that would be toughQuote:

Sweeeeet
5 seed vs Liberty
We better not lose to a fake university run by fake Christians. I wonder if Hugh will be in the audience.
WOW. Legit chance to make the sweet 16
Is that Univ of Bucky Freeze we are playing?
It sure isQuote:

Dude on CBS just said that Liberty is going to beat us for his first Upset pick.
Both CBS talking heads pick Liberty to beat us.
Three point shot team.
Sure is. Get your massage oil, Ketamine, and phosphorescent white chompers ready. It's party time.Quote:

I like the first-round draw pretty well, but Virginia Tech looks unusually strong for a 4-seed.Quote:

I would hate to see it but I honestly wouldn't be suprised if the black bears beat Virginia (if Virginia doens't lost to a 16 again)
Liberty lost to Vandy. Enough said.
3 1-seeds from the ACC probably.
Basketball conference ....
You've lost your mind.Quote:
