It’s never too early to look ahead to the NCAA Tournament, right?
While the final buzzer rang just last week on the college basketball season, Joe Lunardi of ESPN has already begun working on next year’s bracket projection. And boy does he like the Spartans in 2023-24.

Lunardi has the Spartans coming in as a No. 1 seed in the West Region in his first batch of bracketology for the 2023-24 season. Michigan State would face the winner of No. 16 seeds Texas Southern and Wagner in the first round.
Lunardi has a total of eight Big Ten teams making the NCAA Tournament next year. He’s also very high on Purdue with the Boilermakers as one of his other No. 1 seeds.
