March 19, 2026: Michigan State advanced easily to the second round of the NCAA tournament with a win over Summit League champion, North Dakota State 92-67. MSU got out to a quick double digit lead in the first half and extended it to 20 at the half, 47-27.The second half was pretty much the same as the first with the Spartans pushing out to as high as 28 points behind 65% shooting in the lane and 50% from deep. Defensively, MSU held the Bison to 24% from 3 - 11% below their average on the

March 17, 2026: Michigan State opens their matchup against the North Dakota State Bison looking to impose their physical style early. Michigan State will want to control the pace with strong half-court defense, disciplined rebounding, and efficient offense in transition. When the Spartans are at their best, they force tough shots, dominate the glass, and turn defensive stops into quick scoring opportunities. Against a mid-major opponent like North Dakota State, establishing that physical edge in the

March 15, 2026: We’ve finally reached the first climax of the season and a time when a lot of fans start paying attention to college basketball - the bracket reveal. By all reasonable measures, Michigan State has had a very good season. They finished the year 25-7 on the year and secured a 3 seed. By any objective measure, a very solid year - maybe not great - but very, very good. Of course, a lot of the saltiness expressed by the MSU fanbase is probably due to the historically great season that

March 14, 2026: Michigan State opened its Big Ten Tournament run with a quarterfinal game against 6 seed UCLA and lost 88-84 behind some pretty poor defense and blistering hot shooting from the Bruins. Donovan Dent followed up his triple double performance the other night with another fantastic game scoring 23 points and adding 12 assists and 4 steals.Once again, the Spartans had some spotty perimeter defense and allowed Dent and other Bruins penetration into the paint to score or dish to wide open

The Spartans will play in the final game on Friday and if they win will play the winner of the Nebraska-Purdue game. A lot of questions about this game as we will see if MSU adjusts the playing time of Jeremy Fears to try and keep him fresh or if they play him his typical 37 minutes. This will be one of

March 8, 2026: Michigan State played decently in the season finale to Michigan in Ann Arbor but it wasn’t enough as the Wolverines just had too much timely shooting to beat the Spartans, 90-80. The game was largely played within one to two possessions with the half time score giving Michigan a 42-41 edge.In the second half, the Spartans pushed out to a 4 point lead but were unable to hold it with UM going on an 11-0 run and never relinquishing finishing the game with a lot of free throws and a 10

The rivalry game doesn’t have as much riding on it as it did earlier in East Lansing as UM has easily locked up the Big Ten Championship and a probable 1 seed for the NCAA tournament. But as with any rivalry game, this one will probably not disappoint with intensity and meaning for these two teams. This will be MSU’s final two play of the year as they look for revenge for the 12 point home loss to the

March 5, 2026: This was MSU’s final home game, senior day, and this game looked eerily similar to the game played in New Jersey last month. Some differences obviously as MSU led at the half, 31-30 and blitzed out to a 19 point lead with 6 minutes left. But they had a lot of trouble with turnovers - some forced, others not so much. And Rutgers hit a lot of 3s. And the game in the second half started going the way you’d expect for MSU as they started to pull away. Jeremy Fears picked up his third foul

March 3, 2026: Michigan State finishes up its home regular season on Thursday night against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This will be MSU’s second double play of the season and their first one in New Jersey was a doozy as the Knights took MSU to OT. Or probably more accurately put, Michigan State forced the game into overtime with a crazy second half comeback requiring a Divine Ugochukwu 3 on MSU’s last possession in regulation time.Perhaps it was a trap game with the Wolverines game up next after

March 1, 2026: Michigan State traveled to Bloomington and beat a reeling Indiana Hoosier team, 77-64. It was a game in which Indiana never led. Jaxon Kohler led the way getting off to a blistering start along with Kur Teng from behind the arc as the Spartans led 45-37 at the break.From there, MSU took it to the Hoosiers and led by about 10 most of the second half. Aside from 21 from Kohler and 18 from Teng, Jeremy Fears added 21 along with 9 assists and 4 rebounds to send the Spartans back to East

Although the Big Ten race is officially over, the Spartans are still playing to secure a triple bye in the Big Ten Tournament and a 3 or maybe 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. In the first matchup between these teams in East Lansing, MSU handily dispatched the Hoosiers whom they overwhelmed with their physicality. It was the first game that

February 26, 2026: Michigan State with the huge upset win at Mackey - their first since 2014 - 76-74. It was a few missed shots - finally by Purdue, and some defensive rebounding which sealed the game despite a missed front end to a one and one by Ward gave Purdue some life with only 3.5 seconds left. But Carson Cooper, Jeremy Fears, and the whole crew were just too much for Purdue despite the Boilers shooting 48% from 3 on relatively high volume. But it was sort of MSU’s offense that carried in

Admittedly, Purdue usually has had good teams when Michigan State has visited, however, the arena hasn’t been kind to MSU.This year - specifically this month - neither team has played very well so it is sort of a matchup of struggling teams.

February 22, 2026: Michigan State finished its home stand with a win over a depleted Buckeyes team on Sunday afternoon, 66-60. But it was not an easy win as they struggled shooting from the field and defending the penetration from Bruce Thornton who kept easily getting into the lane to score. In fact, MSU trailed 26-23 at the break and took until mid way through the second half to take back the lead from Ohio State. OSU was without their second and third leading scorers (Mobley and Royal) yet

They got just what the doctor ordered, with a resounding 82-59 victory over UCLA in a game where they hit a season high 14 threes and shot 52.5% from behind the arc. Fears added a double double for good measure.Of some concern was the injury to back up point guard, Denham Wojcik, forcing Jordan Scott into the game to play a few minutes of point guard.
