Michigan State put their conference tournament disappointment behind them last week.

They entered the conference tournament at the quarter-final stage, but made a swift exit as they were beaten 68-58 by Ohio State.

Michigan State have rebounded at March Madness though, starting their campaign with a 72-62 win against USC.

The Spartans then backed that up with a surprise win against #6 Marquette, beating the Golden Eagles 69-60 to book their place in the Sweet 16.

Having ended the regular season with an 89-81 loss to West Virginia, the Wildcats fell at the first hurdle in the Big 12 tournament.

Kansas State bounced back from that defeat when they opened their March Madness campaign against Montana State, winning 77-65.
