Michigan State Basketball Projected As No. 7 Seed In Early NCAA Tournament Brackets

March Madness Brackets Already Taking Shape

It's never too early to start looking ahead to March Madness, and the first bracketology projections are already starting to roll in. CBS Sports released their first bracketology projection on Monday, and they have Michigan State as a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans are projected to face No. 10 seed Davidson in the first round, with the winner of that game advancing to play No. 2 seed Purdue in the second round.

Spartans Projected To Face Tough Road In NCAA Tournament

If the CBS Sports projection holds true, Michigan State would have a tough road to the Final Four. The Spartans would likely have to face Purdue in the second round, and then potentially No. 1 seed Gonzaga in the Sweet 16. Gonzaga is the No. 1 overall seed in the CBS Sports projection, and they would be a heavy favorite to beat Michigan State if the two teams were to meet in the NCAA Tournament.

Of course, a lot can change between now and March. The Spartans could play their way into a higher seed, or they could struggle and fall out of the NCAA Tournament picture altogether. But for now, the CBS Sports projection gives Michigan State fans a glimpse of what the NCAA Tournament could look like for their team.
