Result: Loss
Michigan State vs Virginia 12:10 ET
Cavaliers (-) over Spartans- I believed that theVirginia Cavaliers were deserving of a No.1 seed and they did manage a No. 2 but now tourney tested Michigan State and will have their work cut out for them. The Cavs didn't play their usual defense but managed a tough and much closer and tough 79-67 win over Belmont Friday. Michigan State was in control most of the way in their 70-63 win and cover over Georgia as they drained their free throws down the stretch. Virginia will have a bit of revenge on their minds as they lost to the Spartans in the East Regional Sweet-16 last season. Trends all go Virginia's way as they are 18-7-1 ATS following an ATS loss, as well as 6-2 ATS in their last eight over the Big Ten and finally they are 30-13-2 ATS against teams with winning records. With Friday win State is now 1-4-1 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games. Take VIRGINIA!
