THE OVERVIEW It's those guys again, just a little down the road and with a championship locked up this time. The stakes for the Spartans remain high. They're the last at-large in the Bracket Matrix field, which hasn't yet been updated for them getting whooped yesterday. Bart Torvik's updated projections also have them as the last team to make it, though that means only a 22.3% chance of securing an at-large bid. They need a win on Sunday or they'll need to make some noise in the Big Ten Tournament to not be sweating out every one-bid conference's tournament. Speaking of the BTT, Michigan is obviously locked into the one-seed, which means they're keeping an eye on Thursday's 8/9 matchup. MSU is currently projected as the nine-seed and would stay there with a win and/or an Indiana loss to Purdue on Saturday afternoon. If MSU loses and Indiana wins, however, the Hoosiers would jump the Spartans and knock them down to the ten-seed.
