February 1, 2025: Well, it was bound to happen even though we never like to see it, MSU falls to USC 70-64 on the road for their first loss in the Big Ten season. It was a game that USC led wire to wire by capitalizing on early Michigan State miscues and getting some timely offensive rebounds to drive the lead up to 15 early.

Star Desmond Claude led the way for the Trojans and got a lot of his work done in the first half scoring and getting to the line. The line was a place that has usually been a strength for the Spartans and today they shot poorly - 11 for 19 or 58%. Not only did the hit free throws below their average but they didn’t get there enough which was reflected in the fact that they didn’t attack the rim enough thanks to some good and/or confusing USC defense.

So now MSU will regroup and prepare for a difficult game on Tuesday night against UCLA before heading back to the Eastern time zone.

January 30, 2025: Head West young man. Michigan State is leaving the Midwest for the not-so-friendly confines of Los Angeles for their doubleheader with USC and UCLA. Three time zones and over 2000 miles away they will find themselves first at the Galen Center taking on first year coach Eric Musselman and his entirely new roster of transfers.

USC showcases Desmond Claude who is a downhill driving guard capable of dropping 30 points on any given night. Claude was devastating to the Illini when USC pulled off the 10 point upset in Champaign earlier this year. MSU will look to keep the good vibes going and try and hit the halfway point of the Big Ten schedule at 10-0.

January 28, 2025: The Spartan train just keeps on rolling as MSU blasts the Gophers 73-51 to sweep the season series between the teams and move to 18-2 overall and 9-0 in the Big Ten. This game MSU did it largely on the boards crushing Minnesota 40-22 and finishing with a 42% offensive rebounding rate and only giving up 16% to the Gophers.

Offensively, there weren’t any real standouts for the Spartans as they used their now typical balanced attack with Tre Holloman finishing with 12 points to the lead the way on 4 first half 3 pointers. Carson Cooper had a fantastic game with 9 points and 11 rebounds - 5 offensive. Now MSU will head out West to take on USC and UCLA.

January 26, 2025: Michigan State will look to continue its winning streak as it hosts Minnesota on Tuesday night. MSU took care of business in Minneapolis in December but this the Gophers are on a bit of a hot streak. They’ve won 3 straight including home wins over UM and Oregon and a road win in Iowa City.

Minnesota’s success is primarily due to their all everything player - Dawson Garcia. Garcia leads the team in scoring and rebounding and has averaged 26.6 points a game during this winning streak. Michigan State’s key to success will be limiting his effectiveness and pushing the ball in transition.

January 25, 2025: Michigan State came into Madison Square Garden which has been something of a house of horror for the Spartans - and defeated the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 81-74. The win keeps MSU alone atop the Big Ten at 8-0 and extends their winning streak to 12 games. It also makes the 37th straight year with a winning season - longest in the Big Ten.

The Spartans managed to contain Rutgers’ two great freshman, Bailey and Harper, to 18 and 6 points respectively. Richardson chipped in with 20 for MSU and Coen Carr went 5-5 from the field and 4-4 from the line for 14 points. A +10 rebounding advantage on the boards and solid work at the free throw line was enough to propel the Spartans on this Saturday afternoon in New York.

January 24, 2025: For now, there are only 2 new players scheduled to join the green and white next year, Cam Ward and Jordan Scott. Like Ward, Scott is also from the DMV - not typical recruiting territory for Tom Izzo and the two will be the first Spartans to hail from there since Carlton Valentine in the 80s.

Scott brings a diverse game where he plays 1-5 in high school. With MSU it is expected that he will play 2-4 because of his ball skills and ability to stretch the floor with his outside shooting. Both of Scott’s parents played division 1 basketball and his mother is the lead correspondent on BTN for women’s basketball - Christy Scott-Winters.

January 22, 2025: MSU now holds onto first place all by themselves at 7-0 after their exciting win over Illinois. They head to Madison Square Gardens for a semi-away game against Rutgers. MSG has not been kind to the Spartans in the past as they are 0-4 in Champions Classic games and lost two years ago to Rutgers in a similar matchup.

The Green & White are hoping to avoid the MSG curse but will have to do it beating two projected top 5 NBA lottery picks in Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. The stars are part of the best recruiting class in Rutgers history. A feat that probably had head coach Steve Pikiell doing cartwheels. Unfortunately for him, the transfer portal struck and virtually all of his prior team left and headed elsewhere. That has left a very inexperienced team around the stars and a really rough start for the Knights.

January 19, 2025: Michigan State hosted Illinois in their first real matchup of conference heavyweights and managed to hang on for an 80-78 win. As Rod predicted in the pregame, it came down to a one possession game with two teams taking away the others’ strengths.

The teams were even on the boards, transition points, FG%, turnovers, free throw attempts, and field goal attempts. The difference came down to the Spartans hitting a few more free throws and only having Illinois convert a few more 3 pointers. In a game this close - it doesn’t take much to be the winning margin.
