Michigan State is one win away from a ninth Final Four appearance in Tom Izzo's 30-year tenure after beating Ole Miss in the Sweet 16.

Six-seed Ole Miss was a -3.5 underdog heading into Friday’s Sweet 16 matchup against the Michigan State Spartans, but they sure didn’t play like it for most of the game. That made the Rebels’ 70-73 loss to Michigan State even more painful.
