Michigan State is a No. 2 seed in the West in the post-NBA draft early entry edition of Bracketology published by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.

Michigan is one of three Big Ten schools that are a seventh seed. The Wolverines are projected to face Texas in the first round of the East Regional.

Other Big Ten schools are Minnesota, a fourth seed, seventh-seeds Northwestern and Purdue, and Maryland, an 11th-seed that would face a play-in game.

Oakland is designated as Horizon League champion and a 14th seed in the East. The Grizzlies would face West Virginia in Pittsburgh.

Lunardi’s top seeds are Arizona, Kansas, Duke and Kentucky.
