“So you’re telling me there’s a chance.” The famous quote by Jim Carrey inDumb and Dumber can now be related to Michigan State basketball after Selection Sunday revealed the Spartans would be playing in the Midwest Friday night against Miami.
What was even more surprising than the Spartans getting in relatively easily was the fact that they were given a No. 9 seed. People felt like they would be getting somewhere around a 10-11 seed, but nine was a bit higher than expected.
Now with the Spartans gearing up for the Hurricanes on Friday, they will look back at Tom Izzo teams of the past that have made Final Four runs and realize that the head coach has made a push deep into the NCAA Tournament with less before.
