Now we wait…
For the 2nd time in 2 weeks now, the Spartans have given Purdue everything they can handle but come up just short. It was a back and forth game that included a lot of questionable whistles (what a shocker) and 2 teams that wanted to win. Purdue closed out another game and advances to the…

We’re on to Purdue.
Take a deep breath Spartan Nation. Michigan State beats Minnesota 77-67 today to advance to the Big 10 Tournament quarterfinals against Purdue tomorrow. This win also almost guarantees that the Spartans will be making their 26th straight NCAA tournament appearance trailing only Kansas in that department. This was a grind it our type of win…

Must win preview: Minnesota
After all the tiebreakers were figured out, MSU ended the season with the #8 seed and will face #9 seed Minnesota. These teams played twice in the regular season with each team winning their home game. Michigan State had a 9 point lead in the second half at Minnesota last month and eventually choked the…

And with that.. the regular season is over.
Michigan State needed at least one win this week to stay in the NCAA tournament field. That is exactly what Sparty did because why win both, right? Ha. Like I kind of said in the preview, Northwestern had the better record but Indiana might give MSU more problems. The Spartans were able to get the…

A crucial week: Northwestern and Indiana preview.
We are now in the month synonymous with college basketball, March; a month Tom Izzo knows quite well. The good thing about being a Michigan State fan is that the outside fans don’t really pay attention to the team until March. I definitely see this in the national media because I almost never see MSU…

An A for effort.
I will preface this by saying I am almost always against moral victories, key word almost. Now with that said it is very hard for me to get mad at the performance from the team last night. It was not all great so let me start off with the bad… Purdue pretty much got the…

MSU vs. Purdue Preview
If this matchup between the Purdue Boilermakers and Michigan State Spartans happened to be the season opener this game would be getting hype all over. The Spartans entered the season ranked #4 in the polls which was just behind #3 Purdue. Since the start of the season the teams have gone in different directions. Purdue…

This team is a joke.
Before the terrible performances of last week it looked like the Spartans might be putting it together finally. I was way way way off because the way they performed this week on home-court to inferior opponents was just flat out embarrassing. The Spartans seemed uninterested. I think the team thought that Iowa and Ohio State…

Homestretch Preview: Iowa and Ohio State
Playing at home is a great advantage, especially in College Basketball. That is what the Spartans get to do this week after a 2-0 week on the road. I have seen people trying to discredit the Spartans’ wins last week but winning on the road is a real challenge in this league. The Spartans sit…

WHAT A WEEK
Well, last night was pretty epic. This whole week was. The Spartans sweep the week going 2-0 while playing on the road at Penn State and Michigan. I will get into the specifics of both games but this week was a true breathe of fresh air after it seemed like the Spartans were incapable of…
