CBS Sports analyst ranks MSU as worst remaining team in Sweet 16
Would you consider Michigan State the worst remaining team playing in the Sweet 16? One college basketball analyst believes that to be the case. Former NBA and college basketball coach and current analyst for CBS Sports Avery Johnson was tasked with ranking the remaining 16 teams playing in the NCAA Tournament, and it's safe to say to he's not high on the Spartans.
Of the 16 teams remaining, Johnson listed the Spartans as dead last at No. 16. Here's what Johnson had to say about Michigan State: "There's really no last place.
All 16 of these teams are good, and on any given day, one of these teams could be 16 and another day it could be 10. But we're going with Michigan State here. That said, it was a really impressive win over Louisville.
Jeremy Fears is playing at a high level, Coen Carr is a great athlete. " Johnson did provide a disclaimer that there's "really no last place" but it was still puzzling to me that he had the Spartans at the bottom of his list. For some perspective, he had No.
11 seed Texas, No. 9 seed Iowa and No. 6 seed Tennessee all ahead of the Spartans.
