Sitting on the bubble, in the eyes of some, Michigan State basketball needs an impressive showing in the Big Ten Tournament to ensure an NCAA Tournament berth. The Spartans finished the regular season just 18-13 and 10-8 in conference play. There’s a good chance they will be in with just one win.
However, that won’t come easy as the Spartans will face the winner of Nebraska and Penn State in the second round after earning a single bye. The Cornhuskers are 0-2 versus the Spartans this season and it’s extremely tough to beat any team three times in a single season.
