Des Moines, Iowa — It’s not every year two teams from the same conference play in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
However, that’s exactly what Michigan State and Minnesota are faced with as they prepare to square off today in the second round of the East Region at Wells Fargo Arena. No. 2 Michigan State got by Bradley in the first round to get here, while No. 10 Minnesota pulled off the mild upset of No. 7 Louisville.
So, is it a good or bad thing to play another Big Ten team so quickly in the NCAA Tournament?
