    Bracketology Update: MSU Up to a 2 Seed

    March 4, 2026: It’s only 11 days until Selection Sunday and bubble teams are really starting to sweat. There's also a ton of movement at the top of the seed lists as most of the ones are locked up but a lot of flux on the 2-4 seed lines. Also, the debate about Miami (OH) intensifies as they continue to roll and is now only 1 game away from a perfect regular season. Can they go 31-0 before their conference tourney? The last 4 in as of this recording are TCU, New Mexico, Santa Clara, and VCU. The first 4 out are Virginia Tech, Cal, Auburn, and Indiana. Tune in weekly and send along questions on X @BracketDom. #bracketology #brackets #NCAATournament #dukebasketball #nebraskabasketball #kansasbasketball #arizonabasketball #miamiohio #michiganbasketball #illinoisbasketball #michiganstatebasketball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    MSU Prepares for Rutgers on Senior Day

    March 3, 2026: Michigan State finishes up its home regular season on Thursday night against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This will be MSU’s second double play of the season and their first one in New Jersey was a doozy as the Knights took MSU to OT. Or probably more accurately put, Michigan State forced the game into overtime with a crazy second half comeback requiring a Divine Ugochukwu 3 on MSU’s last possession in regulation time. Perhaps it was a trap game with the Wolverines game up next after that road game but the Spartans find themselves in the same situation here with a season finale against Michigan on Sunday in Ann Arbor. MSU is coming off their first road sweep of the state of Indiana since 2014 and are carrying a four game winning streak into Senior Day. A win here and MSU probably has at worst a 3 seed locked up for the NCAA Tournament and is sitting with a chance at a 2 seed. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

    MSU Cruises to 77-64 Win Over Indiana on the Road

    March 1, 2026: Michigan State traveled to Bloomington and beat a reeling Indiana Hoosier team, 77-64. It was a game in which Indiana never led. Jaxon Kohler led the way getting off to a blistering start along with Kur Teng from behind the arc as the Spartans led 45-37 at the break. From there, MSU took it to the Hoosiers and led by about 10 most of the second half. Aside from 21 from Kohler and 18 from Teng, Jeremy Fears added 21 along with 9 assists and 4 rebounds to send the Spartans back to East Lansing with a four game winning streak. Next up are the Scarlet Knights from Rutgers Thursday on Senior night. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

    MSU Looks for the Indiana Sweep in Bloomington

    February 28, 2026: Michigan State heads south to Bloomington to go for a sweep over the state of Indiana after a huge upset win at Mackey over the Boilermakers. Although the Big Ten race is officially over, the Spartans are still playing to secure a triple bye in the Big Ten Tournament and a 3 or maybe 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. In the first matchup between these teams in East Lansing, MSU handily dispatched the Hoosiers whom they overwhelmed with their physicality. It was the first game that Jaxon Kohler struggled from behind the 3 point arc and he hasn’t really returned to that early to mid season form shooting. Can he get back on track and make this Spartan team even more dangerous? Can Michigan State come out with energy after that draining emotional win over Purdue?

    Michigan State with the Huge Road Win at Purdue, 76-74

    February 26, 2026: Michigan State with the huge upset win at Mackey - their first since 2014 - 76-74. It was a few missed shots - finally by Purdue, and some defensive rebounding which sealed the game despite a missed front end to a one and one by Ward gave Purdue some life with only 3.5 seconds left. But Carson Cooper, Jeremy Fears, and the whole crew were just too much for Purdue despite the Boilers shooting 48% from 3 on relatively high volume. But it was sort of MSU’s offense that carried in this game and a few timely stops that was just enough. We will go thru the keys to the game in a little bit but let’s just start by saying that not only was this a huge win for the Green and white and the standings in the Big Ten and seeding for the NCAA tournament, but it had to be huge for their psyche going forward into the postseason and a revenge matchup with Michigan to end the regular season. MSU now moves to 13-4 in the Big Ten and 23-5 overall and into the 3 seed for the BTT and a triple bye. Purdue drops back a game from there.

    MSU Heads to Mackey for a Tough Matchup Against Purdue

    February 24, 2026: MSU begins a tough road trip into the state of Indiana with its first stop on Thursday at Purdue. Mackey has been a house of horrors for the Spartans where they haven’t won for over 10 years. Admittedly, Purdue usually has had good teams when Michigan State has visited, however, the arena hasn’t been kind to MSU. This year - specifically this month - neither team has played very well so it is sort of a matchup of struggling teams. Purdue has uncharacteristically dropped 3 games at home leading Spartan fans to have some hope. Unfortunately, the Spartans haven’t played well on the road either. It will certainly take their A game to pull off this upset and finding a way to contain Braden Smith if Michigan State wants to have a good night.

    MSU Defeats Ohio State 66-60

    February 22, 2026: Michigan State finished its home stand with a win over a depleted Buckeyes team on Sunday afternoon, 66-60. But it was not an easy win as they struggled shooting from the field and defending the penetration from Bruce Thornton who kept easily getting into the lane to score. In fact, MSU trailed 26-23 at the break and took until mid way through the second half to take back the lead from Ohio State. OSU was without their second and third leading scorers (Mobley and Royal) yet managed to push the Spartans behind a herculean effort from Thornton of 32 points. Carson Cooper had a good offensive performance of 20 points and Jordan Scott added 12 more to propel Michigan State to the win. It moves the Spartans to 22-5 overall and 12-4 in the league before heading to Purdue and Indiana for their next two games. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?
