The other issue is that they've been able to put up such gaudy numbers on the boards because they play in the B1G. I think they'll get bullied by a team that can outpace and outsize them. MSU relies on their defense more than anything (as much, if not moreso, than Syracuse).

I don't see them making it past Louisville if they go that far.

(for what it's worth, I have them losing to Florida in a toss-up)

Wait, so you think people are overrating them, but you're picking them to make the Final Four? I was expecting you to say Cincinnati would clobber them.

Yes. People are saying they are a lock for the NC. All of the ESPN talking heads picked them to win easy.

MSU's initial bracket path is one of the softest.

It doesn't get tough until Iowa State (who I have over a fading Villanova who might not even get that far).
