Michigan State is expected to make the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

The Spartans are having a weak season by their standards, finishing Big Ten conference play with a 10-10 record. 

That should still be good for a ticket to next week’s Big Dance, though Michigan State will likely have to play as a No. 9 or No. 10 seed. 

Here are some of the basic ratings for Michigan State, as of March 12:
