Spartans, Wolverines Reach NCAA Sweet 16 in Atlanta

Michigan State basketball is poised to face Ole Miss in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, marking a rematch between coaches Tom Izzo and Chris Beard, who previously competed in the 2019 Final Four. The Spartans, having secured a victory over New Mexico, will rely on their strong rebounding and top-ranked perimeter defense to overcome Ole Miss, which has shown resilience throughout the tournament.
