Tonight at 6:09 p.m. ET on TBS the Final Four will tip off with the seventh-seeded Michigan State Spartans taking on the No. 1 seed Duke Blue Devils in a matchup that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Duke fans can listen to the radio broadcast on 620 The Buzz AM, while Spartans fans may do likewise on Detroit 950 AM.
In a Final Four featuring three of the four No. 1 seeds, the Spartans, typically one of the favorites during March Madness, find themselves underdogs against Coach K and his trifecta of star freshmen Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow.
"We've been that way all year: overlooked, doubted the whole time," Michigan State guard Travis Trice said. "But we don't really look like it like that. If we win, people are going to be talking about us. We win a national championship, everybody will be talking."
Trice has been one of the stars of the tournament, averaging almost 20 points per game. Jones said the team has matured since an ugly stretch in the middle of the season. He also said that playing in March has made them understand the magnitude of what they're two games away from achieving.
"It's just special. You can just feel it in the air now, how important it is, what it means to be here," Jones said. "Just look out and see how many seats are out there. On Saturday night, those seats are all going to be filled. It's a special feeling."
