December 19, 2024: Michigan State returns back to the Breslin Center for a home game against former Final Four team - the Florida Atlantic Owls. The Owls are under a new coach this year as Dusty May moved on to Ann Arbor. But the Owls seem to be a pretty good team with an 8-5 record and a lot of size. FAU is a top 100 team on Ken Pom with a rating of #46 on offense but #179 on defense. Teams are rebounding well against the Owls as well as shooting an almost impossible 40% from behind the arc. The

December 15, 2024: Michigan State heads back to the hard court after ten days off since their two Big Ten matchups. The Spartans continue their long annual series with the Oakland Golden Grizzlies for its 23rd year. So far, MSU is 22-0 in the series but Oakland usually poses some interesting challenges for the Green and White. Oakland is coming off its most important win in their history last year where they won a first round NCAA tournament game by upsetting Kentucky. They weren’t able to keep that

The 37 point margin was tied for the second biggest Big Ten winning margin for MSU in their history.The game looked exactly as you would expect for a blowout win at home against a very good Big Ten opponent. Nebraska was ranked 41st on KenPom coming into the game so we expected a close and competitive game. What transpired over 40 minutes became much less

December 5, 2024: On Saturday, Michigan State will welcome in Fred Hoiberg and his Nebraska Cornhuskers as the Spartans’ Big Ten home opener. It will be Nebraska’s first Big Ten game and one in which they carry a 6-1 non conference record highlighted with an 11 point win on the road at Creighton. The ‘Huskers play fast, defend well, and shoot pretty well which should give MSU a challenge at home before finals week and a slowed down December schedule.

December 4, 2024: Michigan State’s conference season opener was a good one on the road as they come away from Williams Arena in Minneapolis with a 90-72 victory over the Golden Gophers of Minnesota. It was a win in which MSU did just about everything we suspected they would need to do to get a win. Run, rebound, and shoot well.It was the first game this year where the Spartans shot well from behind the arc going 11-22 for 3 and had 25 assists on 29 field goals.

December 2, 2024: Michigan State hits the road for the first time this year as they take on Minnesota in Minneapolis to tip off conference play. Minnesota has taken a huge step back this season after being decimated by the portal and one of their best players leaving for the NBA.So MSU will take on the Gophers in a game against a team that struggles to shoot the 3, 2, and one point shot (free throw). It might be a game that comes down to free throw attempts and rebounding which should both be to

November 28, 2024: Michigan State played North Carolina down to the wire in the third place game at the Maui Invitational and managed to down the Tar Heels in overtime, 94-91. It was a game that MSU led with a fairly comfortable margin throughout the latter parts of the first half just about to the end of the game when they had a bit of a meltdown and allowed North Carolina to tie the game and send it into OT.However, the Spartans were able to prevail behind some team defense and making just enough

Today despite hitting finally their threes, MSU were worse offensively with 2pt FGs and FT leading to an 8 point loss 71-63. Michigan State will now move onto the consolation game against the loser of the Auburn/North Carolina game late on Wednesday night.

November 25, 2024: Michigan State played in the first round of the Maui Invitational tonight and cruised past Colorado despite only shooting 9.5% from behind the arc. Deep shooting is clearly a huge concern for this team but they are doing everything else so well that it is covering for the shooting to this point. The most remarkable aspect of the game for the Spartans was their defense and rebounding. They held a very good offense rebounding team to just 20% offensive rebounding rate and under 40%

The tournament features Auburn, Iowa State, North Carolina, Memphis, Dayton, UConn, Colorado, and Michigan State. Lots of potential final four teams in the field. The Spartans will open up against the weakest (on paper anyway) team in the field with Colorado.

November 19, 2024: Samford visited the Breslin Center bringing their frenetic full court press and 3 point attack challenging the Spartans in new ways this season. Fortunately for the Green and White, they held off the pesky Bulldogs, 83-75.Once again, Jaden Akins had a fantastic game outside of his foolish technical foul. Finally a few 3s started to fall for him and we can only hope it becomes contagious with the rest of the team. Also of note, Jase Richardson left the game late with an apparent

The Bulldogs represent a real challenge as they are again expected to win the Southland Conference and nearly beat Kansas in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament earlier this year.

Michigan State needed a 10-0 run to end the first half to tie the game at half time and then an 18-0 run to finish the game to secure a 14 point win, 86-72. Despite the double digit loss, the Falcons controlled the majority of the game. They were tough, physical, and made plays when they needed them. We expect MSU to start hitting

November 4, 2024: Unlike last year, Michigan State opened up the season with a win over Monmouth, 81-57. The Spartans looked different in this game in that they had their fast break humming and were dominant on the boards racking up almost 50% offensive rebounding rate. The one similarity to last season’s opener against James Madison was the dreadful 3 point shooting (3-18). Despite the shooting, Jaden Akins was phenomenal scoring 23 points, nine rebounds, 5 assists and took over the game in the
