    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…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    After a big win on Saturday against Illinois, the Spartans will get right back into conference play with a game tomorrow, Wednesday night at Penn State. Coverage for this game will be on the Big Ten Network starting at 6. Penn State has struggled this season under new head coach Mike Rhoades. It can be…

    In the common Michigan State fashion, the Spartans lose the game they should win and win the game they should lose. Whenever someone tells me they have bad news and good news I always want to get the bad news out of the way first, so let’s talk about that first. Going into Minnesota on…

    This upcoming week is huge for the Michigan State basketball team as they have a chance to get into 3rd place in the B10 standings by going 2-0 this week. Any and every college basketball broadcast that you watch talks about how difficult it is to win on the road and that is something the…

    This past Saturday, February 3rd I was able to attend the Spartan’s game against the Maryland Terrapins. Although I attended Michigan State for 1 year I was never able to attend a game. As soon as I was inside I could feel the energy and shortly found where I could pick up the 2 beers…
