What's Up In The Missouri Valley 2/2/2024

2024 NCAA Tournament Bracket Watch: Why Michigan State is in, and NET confusion--The Athletic

Why do I see Michigan State in most brackets? They are 13-8 overall, 4-8 against the top 2 quadrants, 2-7 in Q1, and one of those wins (Indiana State) is not an at-large team. — Ryan H.

It’s a good question, although Indiana State (24th in NET and 38th at KenPom) could be an at-large team. But Ryan’s point remains: The Spartans simply haven’t done that much — and lose with troubling regularity.

Any chance of an at-large coming from the MVC? — Chris W.

Yes! Indiana State, Drake and Bradley are all in the top 70 of KenPom. Drake’s four Quad 3 losses are difficult to absorb, but if the Bulldogs or Braves or somebody else wins Arch Madness, we could see Indiana State as an at-large. And what a story that would be for Josh Schertz.
