To no surprise, Michigan State and Michigan are back in the NCAA tournament! On this episode of "Current Sports with Al Martin," Al breaks down Michigan State basketball's tournament seeding, as well as the other Big Ten teams that made the final cut for the 68-team field. How did the Spartans earn a 3-seed bid to play in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena to face 14-seed Bucknell? Also, Al tells you why that Midwest bracket is so dangerous for MSU (cough...cough...DUKE). 

To close the show, college hoops reporter, producer, and host DeShaun Tate of CBS Radio in Atlanta, joins us. Tate gives his thoughts on some of the questionable selections for tournament spots and even gives his Final Four predictions. 

That, and so much more!
