Michigan State Basketball

Unless Hakeem Olajuwon or Dikembe Mutombo in their prime were available, the transfer portal wasn't going to hide MSU's low-post issues this season.

A growing segment of MSU fans are blaming the Spartans' recent run of putrid low-post play on the refs. But the numbers paint a completely different story.

Hunter Dickinson said you only go to MSU if you can't get into Michigan. That's funny because he wouldn't be able to get into Michigan himself if he weren't a real-life Lurch.

Mike Garland first joined Izzo's staff in 1996. He's the second assistant Izzo has lost this offseason.

MSU fans may be celebrating that they don't have a pro sports team to contend with for Ishbia's attention and money, but don't get too comfortable. Billionaires usually get what they want.

MSU AD Alan Haller confirmed that big changes are coming to the Big Ten. If that means expansion, we've identified some prime candidates to join the league.

The list includes two of Izzo's former (and favorite) players, two of his former assistants, one Spartan basketball legend from the Jud Heathcote era, one Lansing-area basketball great (with a Spartan-friendly surname), one up-and-comer from a mid-major, and one dark-horse candidate from another Power Five program.

After a great start to the season, MSU has its and eyes set on March. They have plenty of chances to improve and get big wins.

We got our first real look at this year's Spartan Hoop team. There were some good moments and some not so good ones, but you really can't judge a team based on one game.

Tom Izzo will be on a quest for his second NCAA Championship starting November 9th versus Kansas in New York.
