Bracketology sez MSU is LAST ONE IN. Purdue prediction

Will the bubble burst on Tom Izzo and Michigan State? Bracketologist Joe Lunardi has Michigan State now as THE LAST TEAM in the field of 68, a #12 seed in the Southeast.

They take on projected #3 SE seed Purdue today. Purdue is a 7-pt favorite. Looks like Kalin Lucas will play, and if Durrell Summers does not break out of his slump today (both offensively and defensively), the Spartans may find themselves OUT.

Jeff Sagarin has MSU at #37, Purdue at #7, and an 8-pt Boilermaker win. Real time RPI has MSU at #47 and Purdue at #8.

Sorry, but the ES just doesn't see how the Big Green can pull off a win today sans a 100% healthy Lucas. Purdue kicked our butt by 20 points in the Breslin Center last meeting, and we lost by 10 at Purdue. ES sez.... Purdue 76, Michigan State 62.
