May 15, 2025: Part two of our Big Ten Recap is here where we talk about the middle of the pack of the Big Ten. We review Minnesota, Rutgers, Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, and Illinois. There was turmoil in this group with two coaching changes: Ben Johnson getting fired at Minnesota and Mike Woodson being encouraged to retire at Indiana. Rutgers had two top 5 Freshman but were unable to put any viable pieces around them and finished well out of the NCAA bubble conversation.Meanwhile, Ohio State

May 1, 2025: Today’s show is on the current roster status of MSU and its upcoming 2025-26 Big Ten Schedule. Last week we discussed the possibility of 5 star recruit Darius Adams joining the Spartans after decommitting from UConn. Those who follow Michigan State recruiting know that Adams was a target of MSU’s in this class. He ended up at Maryland and we discuss what that means.Also, Jase Richardson has declared for the draft but has yet to hire an NBA agent which means that he could still return

MSU Season Recap & Darius Adams Recruitment Update

2025/04/24

April 23, 2025: This episode focuses on two things, MSU’s season in review and the potential recruitment of Darius Adams. At one time, MSU was one of the final teams angling to bring 5 star McDonad’s All-American, Darius Adams, but lost out to UConn. Well, UConn, brought in a lot of portal guards and they allowed Adams out of his commitment. This left a question whether Adams might be the final piece at guard that Michigan State would be adding this off-season.The rest of the show is devoted to a

April 16, 2025: Michigan State continues to expand its roster and just as we expected, they looked to add another guard. Well, in comes Trey Fort, a 6’4” SG from Samford who averaged 41% from 3 this year and has one year left in eligibility. Although he isn’t a primary ball handler, he should help in MSU’s backcourt.The probable addition of Fort brings up the next obvious question - who’s next for MSU? We discuss the positional needs the Spartans will still have for next season. We also spent some

April 11, 2025: With the departure of MSU’s seniors, graduate students, and Jase Richardson to the NBA, there was an obvious need for bodies to complete next year’s roster. So Tom Izzo and the Spartans went into the portal and signed 6’7” 220# Kaleb Glenn from FAU.Glenn was a former teammate of Jeremy Fears in AAU and for a year at LaLumiere in Indiana. He comes ia Louisville and then FAU where last season he received AAC 2nd team honors coming off the bench and averaging 51% from the field, 41%

April 5, 2025: We have officially entered portal season for most of the country and it is more active than ever. For Michigan State, fans got their first taste of a player whom they love entering the portal - Tre Holloman. A player who seems to embody Tom Izzo and the program, Holloman entered the portal April 1st but (as of this programming) not yet committed to another program.Xavier Booker has left and is headed to UCLA in a move that is easy to understand.

March 30, 2025: Michigan State’s season came to an end today as they fall 70-64 to the Auburn Tigers in the Elite 8. The game’s story was probably national player of the year candidate, Johni Broome, who had 25 points and 14 rebounds in an extremely efficient performance only missing 3 shots from the field. In contrast, MSU shot less than 40% from two in this game and didn’t help themselves with poor shooting from 3 either.So what was an incredibly fun season with a Big Ten Championship comes to an

March 29, 2025: Michigan State advanced to the Elite 8 with a win over Ole Miss and now gets the honor of playing the overall number one seed, Auburn. The Tigers advanced to the Elite 8 with a win over Michigan. Auburn had to do that after trailing Michigan by nearly double digits late in the second half - similar to MSU’s second half with Ole Miss. Of course, Auburn is a top rated offensive and defensive team and will be a big challenge for the Spartans. The Tigers also feature a national player of

March 28, 2025: Michigan State advances to the Elite 8 with a hard fought win over 6 seed Ole Miss, 73-70. The script was switched this game where Ole Miss was pounding the Spartans on the offensive glass with a 12-5 edge. However, MSU was about the same with regard to turnovers where they only turned it over 10 times which was less than we suspected the Rebels would need in order to win. The difference in the game came down to the free throw line where MSU hit 19 to Mississippi’s 9 and were ice

However, the Rebels will be a challenge for MSU as they dismantled their first two opponents, North Carolina and Iowa State. They accomplished that on the back of nearly an uncharacteristic 50% 3 point shooting.There are a number of ways for the Spartans to get an advantage over Ole Miss.

Bryant proved to be a formidable opponent pushing the Spartans throughout the entire first half and beginning of the second. The Bulldogs led by as much as 5 in the first half but a late flurry from the Spartans gave them a 5 point lead heading into half time. The first half star of the game for Michigan State was Coen Carr who was everywhere on the boards and scoring in the paint and

The Spartans came out with good energy and despite letting Oregon keep it close throughout the first half, they closed the half strong heading into the locker room up 10. From there, it was pretty even as Oregon made a quick push to cut the lead to 1 but just as quickly gave it all back and MSU cruised into the finish line with a 10 point

March 9, 2025: Michigan State hosted Michigan to close the season on Senior Day and pounded the Wolverines 79-62 to win the Big Ten outright by 3 games. The 3 game margin is similar to Purdue’s the last three years and 17 Big Ten wins marks a record for the MSU program.The win came largely on the back of a blistering first half by the Spartans where they clamped down on the Wolverines on defense and were hitting on all cylinders on the offensive end as well. Frankly, UM just looked shell shocked
