I imagine this is why so many Spartan Faithful felt disrespected at a 2 seed. They knew they couldn't beat a 15 seed.

Here we all thought their AD helped get the best spot in the bracket. Little we knew MTSU is such a tough team. LOL.

I liked this one:

"Sixty-five teams are going to have the same experience...

…but this will be the hardest one to explain"

68 teams - 1 champion - 1 spartan team = 66 teams. Sparties can't even mathematically fail correctly.

The moment the final buzzer went, I realized that one of my brackets was in a pool with a $30 entry fee and that was a bracket where - and I don't know what came over me - I had Michigan State going rather deep in the tournament. That bracket is likely in tatters now.

That slight financial loss was also totally worth it.

MTSU beating MSU is the biggest upset in NCAA tournament history. This may actually be worse than the Appalachian State game.

Yes, because it's the Big Dance and not some opening game in a season where we went to the Citrus Bowl regardless.

It's not the biggest upset according to the numbers. Missouri losing to Norfolk state or whatever was the worst tourney loss

Well, App State isn't the biggest either by the numbers—it's the sixth-biggest—but try telling anyone that.

It's the circumstances that matter. Since a 1 seed has never lost, and since no 2 seed has ever been as widely expected to win it all as State, this upset is the biggest.

Sparty was the pick by many to win it all. They were definitely the most highly-regarded team to ever lose in Rd 1

*sheepishly raises hand* I had Missouri winning it all that year. It was my contrarian pick to win my bracket. Obviously, didn't work.

Luckily, my contrarian pick this year is putting Virginia in the Final Four. That's looking good.

Let's beat ND tonight - those Sparties could use some company.

Upon telling my 3 year old this morning that UM is playing ND tonight, he said, "Boo Irish, go Blue!"

I am so glad this happened. MSU loses day one of their tournament run and their football team will not be very good this year. Oh, the joy. Cannot wait to beat them in October.

kudos to MTSU; came to play, got off to a great start and never let up. Sparty was looking down the road, and could never flip the switch. They got about 15% of the 50/50 balls
