Best reactions to Michigan State basketball's NCAA Tournament draw on Selection Sunday

[ASFN Admin]

For the first time in years, Michigan State basketball fans got to head into Selection Sunday without as much anxiety about being on the bubble. After winning the title, Michigan State had secured a top seed in the NCAA Tournament no matter what, so Sunday became more about the first match-up and potential later match-ups in the region.

On Sunday, we found out that the Spartans will be a 2-seed this year in the South region, and their first game will be against the Bryant Bulldogs of the America East Conference.

Bryant, the 15-seed, won't be a pushover game, as the Bulldogs won both the America East Conference regular season championship and their conference tournament. Also of interest to Michigan State fans, Auburn will be the 1-seed in the South region.

After the news dropped, social media erupted as Spartan fans finally got to see their draw. You can see the best reactions to Michigan State's NCAA Tournament draw below:

Can’t complain about that draw. Avoided teams like Gonzaga and Kansas on the 7 line. ISU stumbled second half of the season. Auburn looked human the past two weeks. Cleveland home court advantage. Tons of Spartans in Atlanta. Let’s make a run.

I think I'm rocking with Michigan State over Auburn in the South Region.

Don't see a ton of upsets in this region, but UC San Diego and Michigan as the 5/12 matchup should be an absolute banger

Bryant won the America East and each conference tournament game by double digits (aka the Vermont invitational)

Seven(!) man rotation

Excellent offense (20th AdjO), want to score in the paint. Also great at defending 2pt shots

Lost to St. John’s by 22 but had played well on O
