MTSU Blue Raiders
Middle Tennessee and the NCAA Tournament have been a very rare occasion.
The Blue Raiders will be making just their 2nd NCAA tourney appearance in the last 27 years as they ran the table in the C-USA tourney over the past weekend.

MTSU has found their success with having not just one player contribute. The Blue Raiders have 4 players that average double figures, led by Giddy Potts. The 6-2 guard averages 15 points per game and came up clutch during the C-USA tourney.
The key here for the Blue Raiders will be the inside game. They have been exposed on many occasions for lacking height and going up against a much stronger and bigger Spartans team doesn’t make things easy for them. They’ll need use their 3 point shooting and catch fire quickly to stay in this one.
Michigan State Spartans
The Spartans have a strong case for being upset with the committee.
Michigan State is one of the hottest teams in the nation and after clinching another Big Ten title, they were snubbed of a one seed they rightfully deserved. However, Tom Izzo is a good enough coach to not make that an issue as the Spartans know they have the talent to beat anyone in the nation.
