How are Michigan State and FAU in?

Any insight would be great. 

MSU is favored in their first matchup 

MSU I agree Should not be in, Fau beat zona, Charleston and Tex A&M in the non conf they all in tourney. Plus they beat a very good Loyola Chicago 23 win team and beat decent  butler va tech and Liberty teams that all won at least 18 games in non conf so have no problem w them making it. 

I expect we will see a different FAU team in tournament. They got that last big point shave payday by laying down for Temple, so I think they will be locked in. 

They have been going down huge every 1st half and coming back in the 2nd. They might continue to do that in tourney, but I think they actually will start caring. Either way tread carefully when betting the AAC 

The thing with FAU is yes they won some games early on. But as the season went on they looked like garabage, didn't win the season title or the conference title. Are they hoping they suddenly get interested in the Tournament?

Michigan St did nothing all year. Had the same records and Indiana and Iowa and both of them beat Michigan state....

Would rather much liked having Seton Hall or St Johns in.

Guessing MSU  got in on the tails of their head coach and his proven success in the dance.

No matter how large the field, their will ALWAYS be fans/teams stating we should be in.

I can’t believe they left my blue Demons out of the field!!

They beat south dakota, Louisville AND a tough chicago state team!!!

Florida Atlantic also riding coattails from last seasons Final Four run. Maybe that shouldn't matter but with so many returning players they were solidly on the committees radar unlike South Florida who won the regular season conference and beat Florida Atlantic this season.

NW is gonna give them one hell of a game!!
