LOOK: See where MSU basketball lands in final seed list for NCAA Tournament

Believe it or not, Michigan State was not that close to the cut line for making the NCAA Tournament.

Entering Sunday, many bracketologists felt Michigan State would be one of the last teams to make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team. However, when the seed list was revealed, it turned out the Spartans were safely in the field of 68.

Michigan State ended up as the No. 33 overall team which comes out as the top No. 9 seed. The Spartans will face the No. 32 overall seed Mississippi State in their first round matchup on Thursday.

Check out the complete seed list breakdown in the tweet below:
