Spartans drop to No. 4 seed in latest bracketology

A recent slump has caused Michigan State to drop to a No. 4 seed in the East Region according to the latest USA TODAY Sports bracketology projection.

Michigan State has slipped to a No. 4 seed after dropping three of its last four games, including a blowout loss to Wisconsin.

The Spartans are projected to face No. 13 seed Stephen F. Austin in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. A win over UCLA on Tuesday could help MSU climb back to a No. 3 seed.
