    MSU 2025 Deep Dive Season Preview

    October 16, 2025: We’ve finally made it through all the Big Ten previews and have arrived at Michigan State. Last year, Rod had MSU at #5 and the team went out and lapped the field by 3 games. This year, we have them as #2 but with all the variability because of the transfer portal - it’s really anyone’s guess. Outside of Purdue looking really, really good. The Spartans are coming off a fantastic season in which they returned to the staples that fans associate with the team. They defended, rebounded, and ran…a lot. Also, Jase Richardson as a freshman forced his way into the starting lineup seemingly from nowhere and finished the season as a late first round NBA draft pick. Exceeding most optimistic fans, the Spartans finished in the Elite 8 with a redshirt freshman point guard and intriguing parts that return this season. Izzo and staff added two very good high school recruits and intriguing transfers leading some to speculate that this team may be as good or even better than last year’s team. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear? There’s only one place we recommend you go to get your MSU T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts — Nudge Printing (https://www.nudgeprinting.com)  Nudge is owned and operated by Gabe and Brittany, two MSU alums. The business is operated out of Michigan and screen prints super high quality products. They also have a large assortment of apparel for other schools as well as stickers for your wall, car, or computer. If you have a home in Michigan you know the importance of clearing water efficiently away from your home off the roof. Unfortunately, the outdoor beauty of Michigan means you have to deal with leaves and debris that pile up in your gutters. Sometimes, those gutters also can’t keep up with the rain or leave puddles by your foundation. If you live in the Grand Rapids area (Muskegon to Saugatuck to Rockford to Lowell) contact Kurt Stauffer at the Brothers that Just Do Gutters. (https://www.brothersgutters.com/grand-rapids-mi/). If you’re anywhere in the metro Detroit area the Brothers have you covered too! (https://www.brothersgutters.com/metro-detroit-mi/). They are real professionals who will clean, repair, or replace your gutters and protect your home quickly and efficiently with friendly service. Mention Final Four to get 10% off your gutter work. Have you wondered why the world no longer looks clear out of your windows? Maybe you need a professional to clean them. There’s no better option for your window cleaning than your neighborhood window cleaners at the Squeegee Squad. They clean residential, commercial, and high rise windows. Also, if you need power washing on your house, the Squeegee Squad will treat it with kid gloves with their gentle wash that uses low pressure and surfactants. You won’t find a better team to care for the exterior or your house or business than the Squeegee Squad of Grand Rapids (https://squeegeesquad.com/locations/grand-rapids-mi/).

    Purdue 2025-26 Preview (#1 Team - Champion)

    October 13, 2025: Matt Painter has had a great run at Purdue and has gotten the proverbial monkey off the back of Boilermakers by having success in the NCAA Tournament. He has done what no one else has done in West Lafayette - translate regular season success into post season success. The Boilers look to be loaded coming into this year with a return of their injured 7’4” center, another almost 7 footer, and the core of Smith, Kaufman Renn, and Loyer as seniors. A preseason top 5 pick nationally and favorite to win it all  - the Boilers will be a tough team to top in the league. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

    Michigan 2025-26 Preview (#3 Team)

    October 11, 2025: Michigan and Dusty May just got a very wealthy benefactor for their athletics program allowing them to be more than competitive in the transfer market. Resources have always been a little bit of a struggle for the Wolverines but not anymore. They’ve opened the wallet and have one of the highest sought after transfers, Yaxel Lendenborg from UAB. He looks to replace departing Danny Wolf at the 4 and might even be a more efficient version of the NBA first round pick. The addition of Elliot Cadeau from North Carolina is a point guard UM hasn’t had in years. The Wolverines look like an improved team but will the pieces fit together?

    UCLA 2025-26 Preview (#4 Team)

    October 11, 2025: UCLA will begin its 2025-26 season with a little Big Ten experience under its belt. Last year’s team managed a decent finish but seemed to struggle with the travel schedule required to be a part of the league. This year’s team has some very important returning players and intriguing transfers but will face the same brutal travel. Of note to MSU fans is the transfer of much maligned McDonald’s All-American, Xavier Booker, from East Lansing to Los Angeles. Will the new environment lead to a better outcome for the Junior? And will he be able to play the 5 in the Big Ten? Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

    Robbie Hummel on the Big Ten and Taking on Zach Randolph

    October 9, 2025: Former Purdue standout and current college (and soon to be NBA) color analyst, Robbie Hummel, joins us again today to talk about the Big Ten and college basketball. Robbie is a rising start within the college basketball analyst ranks and brings great insight both as a former player and fan of the game. In this episode, Hummel gives us his take on Purdue’s incoming super team, what the rest of the league has, MSU, and even a story about a leaking roof and being bullied by Zach Randolph in the NBA.

    Wisconsin 2025-26 Preview (#5 Team)

    October 9, 2025: Wisconsin has been a relevant basketball program since Dick Bennett took over in the 90s. Before then, Badger basketball was an afterthought. After Bennett came Bo Ryan who led Wisconsin to multiple Big Ten titles and Final Fours. Greg Gard has continued the tradition of solid Wisconsin teams and this year’s team looks to continue the run. A solid core of returning players with some high end transfers appears to have the Badgers poised for another NCAA tournament appearance and an outside chance at the Big Ten.

    Illinois 2025-26 Preview (#6 Team)

    October 7, 2025: One of the more interesting programs in the Big Ten is Illinois. Since head coach Brad Underwood has taken the reins, the Fighting Illini have been something of an amoeba. Every year not only does the roster shift but so does the philosophy. They have gone from a team of ultra high pressure, to forward focused, to big men and drop coverage, to high volume 3 point shooting, and now an invasion of Europeans. Although Illinois has had some success under Underwood, they have struggled to maintain consistency with an ever changing roster and mode of play. It’s not clear how this year’s team will play although it will probably be a more finesse European style with the infusion of players from the Balkans.

    Oregon 2025-26 Preview (#7 Team)

    October 5, 2025: Oregon finished its first season in the Big Ten under Dana Altman with a solid performance. It was a team that wasn’t great at anything in particular but was good in everything. It earned them an NCAA seed and a decent first showing in the league. But can Altman and crew improve upon last year’s record? The Ducks return Nate Bittle and Jackson Shelstead who are plus plus players so perhaps Oregon fans can expect more this year. However, what does the effect of travel for West Coast teams have in a basketball season weigh on the final standings? Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?
