The time is here. It is officially Selection Sunday. Unfortunately for Michigan State fans, it has turned into a stressful day of anticipation.
Quite frankly, coming into Saturday, there were four scenarios Spartan fans did not want to see. Unfortunately, once again for MSU and it’s fans, all four scenarios happened, and the bubble has shrunk drastically.
In unprecedented fashion, five bids have been stolen over the past two days, turning the bubble into an absolute mess. On Friday, the Spartans were a lock and looking at a No. 9 or No. 10 seed. On Sunday morning, Dayton and the First Four might be the best-case scenario.
Luckily, putting Spartans fans at ease, for now, the bracketologists still love the Spartans chances of getting into the field of 68:
