#3 Michigan State

by Peter Bard

National Championships: 2

Head Coach: Tom Izzo

Nickname: Spartans

The strength of this team is very much in the backcourt. I ran out of space for good guards and wings, and I had to work pretty hard to find credible bigs. A team featuring Magic Johnson is definitely going to be superb, but they might struggle when they come up against big, tougher frontlines. I don’t see Paul Davis and Kevin Willis holding their own against some of the more physical centers in this tournament. If Magic gets hot, though, look out.
