Michigan State enters the 2012 NCDA National Tournament drawing James Madison, Wisconsin-Platteville, and Miami (OH). JMU is going to their first National Tournament, but Wisconsin-Platteville and Miami are old foes for the Spartans.

Not much is known about James Madison, as they are a new team to the NCDA. The Dukes finished the season in sixth place, starting off the season blowing out some of the other East Coast schools, but more recently they’ve been in dogfights, playing schools like Kent State, Ohio State, and Bowling Green.

Wisconsin-Platteville has played Michigan State in the past, but has never beaten them. The Pioneers are winless this season, losing their matches to Western Illinois and Moody Bible. UW-P finished the season in last place, but they’ve proven to be a tough out for the Spartans in the past.

Miami (OH) is coming into the tournament at 3-6, but out of their three wins, two of them were forfeits by Louisville. The other win was a 7-0 win though against Towson. However, their losses have had a score differential of -19, which is the lowest of any team attending Nationals.
