February 3, 2026:Specifically, he learned that the University of Florida has designed a video algorithm for when their coaches should challenge a call in a game. Hammer also created the trapezoid for excellence where he uses team analytics comparing offense and defense to tempo played. This shows which teams can play different ways and may suggest who will have better success in the NCAA tournament. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

February 2, 2026: The Spartans head out on the road to Minneapolis to try and get rid of the bad taste in their mouth after that disastrous game against Michigan. The Barn isn’t quite as difficult a place to play that it was in the past because of the slide that Minnesota has had over the last few seasons. Niko Medved took the helm this year and despite a general lack of talent and two starters lost for the year with injury the team has competed hard. The Gophers have been in just about every Big Ten game despite dropping 7 straight. Of note for MSU is the expectation that Jordan Scott will be inserted in the starting lineup in place of Divine Ugochukwu. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

January 30, 2026: This loss really stings. It certainly isn’t some sort of season ending loss but it certainly makes the path MSU wants a whole lot harder. And it probably brings a lot of questions as well. The first half of this game probably couldn’t have gone any worse as the Spartans trailed by 16, 42-16 thanks to a last second dunk by Coen Carr. In the first half, the Spartans were 5-14 from 2, 2-12 from 3, 7 offensive rebounds but no second chance points, 4 assists, 11 turnovers, and the only bright spot - if you could call it one - was going 10-11 from the line. Really a nightmare start and one in which Michigan didn’t really play well either. The second half started differently as the Spartans battled back and not only tied the game but actually briefly took the lead 59-57. It was some serious focus from MSU on defense and offense to make that push and Michigan looking very very casual. They seemed to figure out what to do with Mara on both sides of the court but then Michigan went a little small and MSU just couldn’t match the firepower and just could not hit a single open shot. The game then just got out of hand as Michigan hit their free throws and the Spartans continued to miss shots to make the margin double digits. About the only thing to add is that Jordan Scott performed well and Jeremy Fears with another career high in scoring with 31 points. MSU drop to 19-3 and 9-2 in the Big Ten and will head to Minneapolis to try and right the ship before returning home and facing a super tough Illinois team.

January 29, 2026: The game has finally arrived as rival #3 Michigan visit the Breslin Center and the #7 MSU Spartans to clash for first place in the Big Ten. In the first of two matchups this year, there is expected to be some extra juice with this game after what happened at mid court last season on Senior Night. Although we don’t expect any repeat of those antics, there is a lot riding on this game and it will be interesting to see which team is best equipped to handle the pressure of this big test. Michigan is coming off a squeaker win at home over previously unbeaten Nebraska who was down two of their top three scorers while MSU miraculously pulled a win out of a hat in Piscataway in overtime. Can Fears and company make it 3 in a row over Dusty May? Will Kohler pull out of his shooting slump? Can the Spartans contain UM’s punishing interior attack of Johnson and Mara? A lot of questions that fortunately, will be answered soon enough on a cold and blustery Friday evening in East Lansing. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

January 27, 2026: The Spartans looked like they were playing in a trap game when they visited Rutgers on a snowy Tuesday night before their matchup against rival Michigan on Friday night. Turnovers was the name of the game as the Spartans committed 15 of them to only 5 by Rutgers. A 9 point deficit at half time was almost too much for MSU to overcome and they got the lead down to one possession and a tie but still need a three out of the corner by Divine Ugochukwu to force the game to overtime. But the overtime was a different game as MSU took control early in the extra stanza behind 5 from Kohler and then Fears dominating both in the lane and at the free throw line. And then it was a Rutgers teams who suddenly were missing all the shots they were hitting earlier in the game and they faded away giving up an 18-6 run.

January 25, 2026: The Spartans have their final game of the first half of the conference schedule on Tuesday night in Piscataway, NJ against a beleaguered Rutgers squad. MSU is coming off a 43 point thrashing of the Terrapins with their rival looming less than a week away in East Lansing. This game will certainly be a challenge for Fears and company to avoid the trap on the road and not look ahead to the Wolverines. Fortunately, the Scarlet Knights are a very bad team. Despite Pikiell’s early success in New Jersey, it appears that the program has now completely unravelled as they struggle to compete on the court and against other schools’ donor classes. The culture that had been created by Pikiell of toughness seems to be lost and Rutgers and we have to wonder if his days are numbered. For the Spartans, it is another opportunity to continue working on their connectedness on defense. Can they continue to rebound and score? Will their transition game get even better? Can they find another gear on offense and improve inside the arc - a usual staple of successful Izzo teams? Most importantly, can they stay focused on this game with Michigan looming on the horizon? Finally, the addition midseason of a former collegiate player who played in the G-League for a few years returning to Alabama has been quite the story. Charles Bediako left his G-League team a few days ago and has returned to his prior team of Alabama. It seems that now just about all the seals have been broken for a return to college by an NBA player. Will it happen next year? Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

January 24, 2026: Michigan State didn’t waste any time in taking care of business against Maryland today, 91-48. The struggling Terrapins showed why they have trouble scoring and defending as they couldn’t do either this afternoon. MSU, meanwhile, did just about whatever it wanted and held another team to there lowest offensive output of the season. It was an entertaining game (if you were a Spartan fan) just because of the high level of play on both ends by MSU. Jeremy Fears threatened the all time single game assist record as he finished with 17. Cooper continued his offensive surge even hitting a 3. Speaking of 3s, Carr once again hit a three and had a number of electrifying dunks. Now MSU will take their 8-1 conference record tied for second play and head to Piscataway, NJ for the first of two matchups agains the Scarlet Knights.

January 22, 2026: Michigan State returns from the West Coast much happier than they did last year after posting a perfect 2-0 in the Pacific Northwest. Now they face a surprisingly struggling Maryland team that has only managed 1 win in 8 tries so far in conference play. This will almost assuredly be the Terrapins’ worst team since joining the Big Ten. They are sub 100 in both offense and defense. Essentially, this is a team that can’t shoot or guard anyone. And they rebound poorly - not a good matchup coming into East Lansing. For their part, this should be a game where MSU can try to get guys going. Can Jaxon Kohler get his offense dialed back in? Can Carr continue his assertiveness on both ends of the court? Will Trey Fort continue to play positive minutes? Finally, will Kur Teng respond to Izzo’s challenge and be a ferocious defender?

January 20, 2026: Well, MSU did what it needed to do and completed a perfect West Coast trip by toppling the Ducks 68-52. It was far from a pretty game from the Spartans but, as they say, they got the job done. Michigan State never really got their offense working until about half way through the second half. MSU just led by 2 at the half 28-26 and were trailing by 5 in the second half until they went on a big run and seemed to wear Oregon down. With MSU leading 46-41, they finished on a 22-11 run to ice the Ducks and head home to East Lansing. Of individual note, Jaxon Kohler continued to struggle from the field and again didn’t make any 3s. But Carson Cooper had a career high 19 points to go along with 7 boards. Coen Carr hit three triples and finished with 15 points and an impressive 8 rebounds and really highlighted his athleticism throughout the game.

And what a season Oregon has had - and we mean that in the worst possible light - after we and many had picked them to finish somewhere in the middle to upper middle of the pack in the Big Ten, this team may struggle to not play in the first day of the Big Ten Tournament on Tuesday. 8-10 overall, 1-6 in the Big Ten and 3 of their last 4 losses have been by double digits. This is a team - maybe a program? - moving in the wrong direction. Oregon ranks at the bottom of the conference in defense and offense so this will probably be a game where MSU can work on some things to improve like 2 point shooting and their transition game. Frankly, this shouldn’t be much of a game but road games in mid January in different time zones can always be tricky. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

January 17, 2026: Well, a much better start to this West Coast trip than last year where the Spartans dropped both. This time, MSU gets the win in Seattle in a largely Spartan fan contingent arena 80-63. Michigan State led this game wire to wire leading 39-31 at half time and then kept a 5-8 point margin until a 10-0 run to cruise in with an easy double digit win. Another great game by Jeremy Fears, Jr. who finished with 19 points and 5 assists and 3 steals. A game where he might not have gotten a ton of assists but really dictated the pace of the game and the Spartan attack on both ends. Now MSU will head to Eugene, OR to try to stay perfect on this trip and stay in contention for the Big Ten. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

January 17, 2026: Michigan State begins its West Coast trip this Saturday with a matchup against the Huskies of Washington. Last year was not a good trip for the green and white as they were swept by the California teams in LA. Izzo and company is hoping for a better swing to the Pacific time zone this time. Fortunately for the Spartans, both Washington and Oregon are struggling this year. In the first game, Washington presents more of a problem for the Spartans as Danny Sprinkle has added a significant amount of talent to his almost completely new team. Hannes Steinbach has lived up to preseason billing and has been a sensational freshman almost certainly entering the NBA draft in the Spring as a first round pick. Unfortunately for the Huskies, injuries have riddled this team all year which has significantly hurt their cohesion on both ends of the court. Both Wesley Yates and Desmond Claude have just returned to the lineup and highly regarded freshman, JJ Mandaquit, will be making only his second appearance of the season facing the Spartans. This is a potentially dangerous team that Michigan State has to be cautious of. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

January 13, 2026: Michigan State had its first of two matchups with the Hoosiers from Indiana tonight and won 81-60. They did this mainly on a 28-2 run to finish the game (although the Hoosiers scored the last 5 meaningless points). The game was close in the first half with Indiana leading the majority until a late push got MSU a 39-32 lead into the locker room. Jeremy Fears finished with a career high in scoring with 23 and added 10 assists to go with a few rebounds to lead the Spartans in victory. Michigan State moves to 5-1 in the Big Ten as they head out for their West coast trip to Washington and Oregon - two teams that are playing a little and a lot below preseason expectations.
