Well, this one is surprising. If a University of Michigan legend is even picking Michigan State basketball, then the hype is getting real. That's exactly what happened this week, as Michigan basketball legend Jalen Rose, who played for the Wolverines as part of the infamous Fab Five team, went on TNT Sports this week and predicted that the Spartans would reach the Final Four this year.
As we all know, the rivalry between Michigan and MSU is immense, so you know that if Rose put his name on this prediction, it's because he really respects this team and what Izzo has put together. Although, Rose wouldn't go as far as to say he would be rooting for the Spartans if they make it to the Final Four in Detroit.
