Michigan State NCAA Tournament Seed Possibilities
The top landing spot for MSU come Selection Sunday is on the third seed line, at +315, according to our odds. But the Spartans have plenty of seeding options, with +375 odds of the team climbing up to the second seed line, +425 odds that they drop to the fourth seed line and +600 that they slide to a No. 5 seed in the 68-team NCAA Tournament field.
As a reminder, these odds are exclusive to BetMichigan.com, but operators offering real money Michigan sportsbook promos will offer lines and futures galore for NCAA basketball daily.
Throw in odds of +1000 (sixth seed line) and +2000 (seventh seed line) for what Spartans fans would consider worst-case scenarios. We have +2500 odds that MSU makes it all the way up to a No. 1 seed, which is difficult to do for teams that have five losses (but not impossible with a strong finish and a huge conference tournament run).
For now, Izzo and the Spartans, ranked No. 14 in the Associated Press poll, will look for their 12th conference win of the year when they host Purdue at 7 p.m. Eastern time tonight. DraftKings Michigan Sportsbook lists MSU as a 3.5-point home favorite against the No. 13 Boilermakers inside the Breslin Center. The Spartans are -166 on the moneyline compared with +140 odds on the visitors from West Lafayette.
