I’m flying out to Detroit tomorrow, and should have plenty of goodies from the Final Four over the next few days.

Michigan State, meanwhile, will have plenty of in-state fans who converge on Ford Field this weekend.

I mentioned last week it’s as close to a home-court edge as a team has had in the Final Four since 1988 (when Kansas went to Kansas City). It’s also only the 10th in-state team to reach the Final Four since the format was adopted in 1952.

Here, for anyone interested, is the full rundown:
