The entire Midwest region received a gift from Middle Tennessee State last night after Michigan State was upset, 90-81, by the Blue Raiders. But that doesn't mean anything for Virginia unless the Hoos can get past the next two opponents to even make it to the Elite Eight, a feat that hasn't been accomplished since 1995.
