No, a fully loaded Duke is easily the best team in the country. There is no way MSU is better off being in their region instead of Gonzaga.

The fully loaded Duke squad who lost to Gonzaga in Maui. Or is there a different fully loaded one?

And Gonzaga got their sht pushed in by UM and St. Mary’s. They aren’t better than Duke right now. Sorry.
 
One other note on Michigan State's seed. Mark Few was on ESPN a half hour ago and he briefly noted playing MSU back in the fall in a scrimmage. IIRC word was that Gonzaga handled MSU quite easily.

Now Izzo may have been toying with lineups and obviously teams are different over four months later, but just saying maybe Duke is the better matchup for MSU in a regional final.
I heard quite the opposite. I know they won by about 10 but it was close with like 2 minutes left. The Zags ended up running away with it.

Also, this happened in like October. We are a much different team as I’m sure they are as well.

This will be the first Tournament Thursday that I've had to work, so I appreciate not having a matinee tip; but yeesh that's a late start.

Glad we didn't get the dreaded 9:45 PM slot.
 
The committee chair said MSU ended up in the East region because they wanted to place them in the region nearest to their home. That doesn't make sense. Washington DC is almost 600 miles from East Lansing and Louisville is less than 400 miles away.

Edit....

Ah, just realized that Louisville was gone because Tennessee was the 5 on the S curve so they had first dibs on Louisville. Thus, MSU had the next closest region site.

they should have got the 2 seed in the Midwest. sending them to the east was pure BS and set up the field to get MSU out.
 
Here is the full S Curve. I'm guessing if the SEC and Big Ten championships had ended yesterday, MSU would be 5 and Tennessee 6 and Sparty would be in the South region with UVA.
