If Michigan State stays hot, and is able to beat Maryland things get interesting. Michigan is waiting for the winner of the Michigan State, Maryland game in the 3rd round. Michigan is the obvious #1 seed in the tournament, but they have also dropped two big games in the last couple of weeks. One of those losses happened against arch rival, Michigan State on Sunday.
