    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…

    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…

    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…

    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.

    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…
