I heard over 25,000 showed up at MSU’s practice at Ford Field today. Should be quite the home court advantage, although the last time the Spartans played at Ford Field they got whupped by 35 pts to North Carolina (Suton did not play).
I doubt that anyone outside of the players’ families picked the Spartans to go this far in the tourney, but then again, there have been years when they’ve been picked to go higher and they got wiped out early. I’m a little biased of course, but I think the final won’t be UConn vs NC, but rather MSU vs Villanova. :’)
