Bryant Bulldogs take the court at Rocket Arena in Cleveland for practice

The Bryant Bulldogs will take on Michigan State on Friday night in their first-round March Madness game in Cleveland.

The Bryant Bulldogs (23-11) will take their biggest stage yet tonight when the No. 15 seeded team from Smithfield meets No. 2 Michigan State in Cleveland.

The Bulldogs will lean on past victories over Florida Atlantic and Syracuse while hoping they can become the eighth No. 15 seed to drop a No. 2 seed — the last, coincidentally enough, was Middle Tennessee stunning the Spartans in 2016.

Bryant is a top-20 team nationally in terms of adjusted tempo, average height per minutes played, fewest opposing assists per field goals made and a pair of blocked shot percentage categories. Bryant is a top-45 team nationally in terms of experience, with Earl Timberlake and five other scholarship players listed as seniors or older.

Michigan State (27-6) won the Big Ten regular-season crown by three games before falling to Wisconsin in the semifinals of the league tournament. Tom Izzo is a Hall of Famer and national champion, finishing his third decade of coaching in East Lansing. The Spartans feature a top-30 national offensive unit and a top-5 defense that allows barely 90 points per 100 adjusted possessions.
