With the Michigan State basketball season on a (hopefully) short pause due to COVID-19, I have been thinking a lot about the NCAA Tournament. One topic, of course, is whether MSU will actually be playing in said tournament in March. For today, I will give a simple answer to that question: if the Spartans start playing better and can approach their potential soon, then yes, I think that they will make the tournament. If they do not, then they won’t.
As for today, I have some thoughts related to the structure of the actual tournament itself.
