The Big Ten has no pull. They talk about having a tough schedule and MSU has it and it didn't matter.

Bottom line: ball don't lie.
But that's how it goes with the stuff you can't control in this sport. Michigan sweeps MSU last year and MSU gets the coveted slot; this year MSU sweeps M and M gets the coveted slot. Is what it is. You have to control for the stuff you can't control.
Bigger picture, whoever follows Delaney should be screaming about how the conference always gets screwed on seeding. MSU really and truly deserved a #1. I bet that Michigan's non-con wins, especially over UNC, speak very loudly here.

It's the pecularity of the NCAA. MSU was the 6th overall seed. M was the 8th. But for 2 seeds they try to keep them in the closest regional geographically. The only caveat is that the 5 can't play in the same regional as the 1. So, by Tennessee plays in Louisville and, apparently, Washington DC is better for Sparty than Kansas City. It's crazy ass shit.
Last year, M missed out on Detroit, but ended up in an easy bracket from the jump. Everyone knew X was trash.
Anyway, another golden draw for M after getting drilled three straight by Sparty.
