Parzych, a Syracuse, New York native, doesn't just have the Orange going to the Sweet 16, he is predicting Jim Boeheim’s 10th-seeded squad to win its first championships since they took down Kansas in the 2003 finals. "I'm a Syracuse fan, and I picked them to move on to the Sweet 16 and thought the only way they could do that was if Michigan State lost in the first round," he said. His rationale behind his pick had little to do with the teams involved in the game. More than 20 percent of brackets had Michigan State winning it all. Parzych's riskiest pick that panned out - and the one that helped separate himself from the field - was his prediction that Middle Tennessee State University would take down Michigan State. But he was glued into the action after he checked his bracket on Friday morning and realized he was still perfect.

However, a misstep there to a team such as No. Winning the Big Ten tournament in somewhat of a weaker year for the conference would pretty much seal Michigan State's case for a No. Plus, Matt Costello and Deyonta Davis make for a solid if unspectacular frontcourt duo. Forbes even drained a Big Ten-record 11 trifectas Wednesday against Rutgers. Bryn Forbes is lethal from behind the arc, shooting 103-for-200 (51.5 percent) from that range throughout the season, benefiting from the pristine ball movement head coach Tom Izzo has his team executing.
