1. MSU makes the Final Four, wins rematch with Duke

Remember when I said Miles Bridges was going to lead a memorable run which will cement his legacy? Well, that run will be to the Final Four in San Antonio.

The Spartans haven’t made the Final Four since 2014-15 and this squad is arguably the most talented of the Tom Izzo era. They will earn that No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, facing off against a lesser-known mid-major in the round of 64 and coming away with a blowout win.

The round of 32 will be a tough one as no No. 8 or No. 9 seeds this year are going to be pushovers. The Spartans will storm to the regional final and win, heading to the Final Four and another matchup with the Duke Blue Devils.

Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils have had Izzo’s number over the years but the Spartans will get revenge for a loss earlier in the season, beating Duke on March 31 to head to the national title game.
