At home at the Final Four

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:

Year	School	Site	Result
1958	Kentucky	Louisville	Champion
1959	Louisville	Louisville	Fourth
1960	California	San Francisco	Runner-up
1968	UCLA	Los Angeles	Champion
1972	UCLA	Los Angeles	Champion
1974	N.C. State	Greensboro	Champion
1975	UCLA	San Diego	Champion
1980	Purdue	Indianapolis	Third
1994	Duke	Charlotte	Runner-up
2009	Michigan State	Detroit	TBD
