Usually, we have to wait until the end of the show to hear our seeding... not so this year, as Greg Gumbel announced Michigan State just 10 minutes into the show (we were the fifth team announced). So, it's been announced and it's time to fill out your brackets. Michigan State is a #5 seed in the Midwest region, and they will face #12 seed New Mexico St. The #1 seed in the Midwest is Kansas, and potentially, MSU has a second round matchup vs #4 Maryland (vs. #13 Houston) and a Sweet 16 matchup vs #1 Kansas. If MSU is to get to the Final Four, it may have to get past #2 Ohio State... which is the way it SHOULD be. Love it.

This is a GREAT region. Love it

Here is the region:

#1 Kansas
#16 Lehigh

#8 UNLV
#9 N Iowa

#5 Mich St
#12 New Mexico St

#4 Maryland
#13 Houston

#2 Ohio St
#15 UC Santa Barbara

#7 Oklahoma St
#10 Georgia Tech

#3 Georgetown
#14 Ohio

#6 Tennessee
#11 San Diego St



Michigan State earned where it sits, but this is a good region for the Spartans to fit.
