The Final Four Is Not On The Schedule - A Podcast Discussing Michigan State Basketball.

December 30, 2025: Next up for the Spartans is a return to league play with a road matchup against unbeaten Nebraska in Lincoln. The ‘Huskers are off to their best start in program history after claiming a number of high major scalps and beating the Illini in Champaign in Big Ten play. As a projected #3 seed right now, they will be a formidable foe for MSU. Michigan State, however, is no slouch either as they enter the game with a 12-1 record and their one loss to top 5 ranked Duke. MSU has played a true road game at Penn State but this will obviously be a different sort of challenge with an historically live crowd and plenty on the line. Nebraska is a solid team ranked inside the top 40 in both offense and defense with their only weaknesses being their relatively poor 3 point shooting and middling rebounding. This might be a game where the Spartans need to continue to find their range from 3 where they are averaging 45% away from the Breslin Center. Also, they probably need to get going on transition and get some second chance points to have a realistic opportunity to steal a Big Ten road win.

December 29, 2025: Michigan State finished its last non conference game of the regular season with a tricky matchup against a high powered offensive team in Cornell. Despite giving up 53 points in the first half, the Spartans managed to hold a 2 point lead going into the break. The second half, MSU put the clamps down on the Big Red holding them to only 13 points for the first 10+ minutes of the second half to secure a healthy 20+ point lead. During that stretch, they held Cornell to 1-16 from 3. Unfortunately, Cornell got hot at the end of the second half and closed the gap to just 17. Of note, Jaxon Kohler once again had a double double but so did Jeremy Fears, Jr. who finished with a career high in scoring at 21 to go with his 11 assists.

December 26, 2025: Michigan State prepares for its final non conference game of the season against Cornell on Monday night. After that, its conference play and their pursuit to defend their Big Ten title. In its final tune up, we are looking for a few things from the Spartan squad. Namely, questions about the rotation. Will we continue seeing Divine Ugochukwu at shooting guard and Denham Wojcik at the point as back up or does Divine return to point guard play? Will we see someone new to the starting lineup at the 2 or maybe someone who has started before? Finally, what kind of Jeremy Fears and Coen Carr will we see?

December 20, 2025: In this year’s annual ugly sweater game between MSU and Oakland, Michigan State comes away from the game with a 79-70 win at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit. It wasn’t MSU’s best game of the season as they struggled to get into any sort of offensive flow and were down as much as 7 points in the first half but managed to squeeze out a 3 point lead at the half. The second half was a little better but the Spartans could never get the lead out beyond 12 points. Questions about the rotation were largely not answered - although one could imagine enough evidence one way or the other to convince yourself that it was going to change or stay the same.

December 18, 2025: Michigan State will once again have their annual matchup against Greg Kampe and his Oakland Grizzlies. This year the game is in Detroit at Little Caesar’s Arena and is sure to feature two grumpy coaches wearing ugly sweaters. Although Oakland hasn’t won in 22 tries, they will probably give MSU a competitive and challenging game. Despite MSU’s 10-1 record, there are a lot of questions coming into the game starting with the rotation changes bringing Denham Wojcik into a more prominent role as the backup point guard to Jeremy Fears. This has changed the Spartans defensively when Fears is on the bench and left more questions than answers at the shooting guard position with it now being even more clogged up than before with Ugochuckwu, Scott, Teng, and Fort all vying for minutes. The question is whether there will be more answers or questions after this matchup. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

December 16, 2025: Michigan State returned home and took on the Toledo Rockets and promptly stomped the Rockets 92-69. Although the win looked comfortable this was definitely a game of two halves. In the first half, MSU played a nice offensive game both on the boards and behind the arc finishing with 58 points. They also held Toledo to just 28 points with some stifling defense. The second half, however, was a different story as Toledo managed to cut the lead to 15 points behind a rash of Spartan turnovers and some poorer shooting. Ultimately, Michigan State comes away with the win and moves to 10-1 on the season with just two more non-conference games to go.

December 14, 2025: Michigan State returns back to the Breslin after a less than impressive performance to close out the first week of conference play at Happy Valley. Fortunately for the Spartans, they are 9-1/2-0 which isn’t such a bad place to be after ten games. But as we said after the game, there’s still a lot of work to do with the team and luckily plenty of time to figure some stuff out which might be over the final 3 non-conference games staring Tuesday night against Toledo. After so much concern has been expressed by the shooting guard position, it seems MSU may have solved it with the emergence of Divine Ugochukwu. Unfortunately, that may have created a new problem at backup point guard for Fears. Certainly one of the more interesting conundrums Izzo has had to deal with during his tenure at MSU. The one bright spot for Michigan State was the insertion of Divine Ugochukwu into the starting lineup where he scored 23 points on 8-10 shooting (5-5 from 3). How MSU handles the minute allocation and rotation with two point guards going forward will certainly be something to watch. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

December 13, 2025: Michigan State played its first true home game today and snuck out of Happy Valley with a 76-72 win over Penn State. The game was a weird one in which MSU led by double digits in the first half but then gave it all back (and then some) managing to cut the Penn State lead to 3 by halftime, 36-33. The second half was another blistering start for the Spartans where they got out to a 10 point lead again but then gave up 11 straight. The blown leads were largely due to a rash of Spartan turnovers as they finished with 17 leading to 23 Penn State points. The one bright spot for Michigan State was the insertion of Divine Ugochukwu into the starting lineup where he scored 23 points on 8-10 shooting (5-5 from 3).

December 11, 2025: It’s our last week with just the top 4 seed lines and there hasn't been a whole lot of movement at the top. Michigan is still the overall number one seed while Iowa State and Purdue switched their two and one seeds respectively after the Cyclones went into Mackey Arena and blitzed the Boilers. Their victory was enough to push the Big 12 above the Big 10 in the power standings. We’re getting close to the first full bracket reveal next week.

December 10, 2025: Michigan State dropped it’s first game of the season to top ranked Duke last Saturday and is looking to get back to its winning ways as it returns to Big Ten play Saturday in Happy Valley. There is probably no better matchup to wash away your woes then the Nittany Lions who - despite their 8-2 record - are struggling this season. Penn State is coming off a 41 point loss to the Hoosiers in Bloomington and now they have to face the Spartans. Penn State is statistically not a very good defense which was on full exhibition against Indiana Tuesday night. Michigan State will look to exploit the Lions and see if they can get back on the horse before finishing up their non-conference schedule.

December 6, 2025: Michigan State dropped it’s first game of the season to top ranked Duke 66-60 in front of an electric crowd at the Breslin Center. As expected, it was a defensive showcase and the top 10 defenses limited the other in their shooting. In the end, Duke made just a few more plays and shots and forced the action enough in the second half to get to the free throw line which was the difference in the final score. Despite the loss, MSU finishes the difficult part of the first half of their season 8-1 with wins over Kentucky, Arkansas, and North Carolina and a 1-0 start to the Big Ten season. Carson Cooper’s individual performance was impressive as he finished with 15 points and a career high16 rebounds while guarding Duke’s best player, Cameron Boozer. Meanwhile, despite his shooting woes, Jeremy Fears logged 13 assists to just 1 turnover to lead the Spartans. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

December 5, 2025: A lot of movement in the seed list since we last had a show. The new number one overall seed is Michigan who joins Duke, Arizona, and Purdue on the one line. Two seeds are Michigan State, Iowa State, Vanderbilt, and UConn. BYU, Alabama, Houston, and Gonzaga are the 3s with Kansas, UNC, Louisville, and Tennessee rounding things out at the 4. The conference rankings are just about set. Dom has the Big Ten leading the way over the Big 12, SEC, ACC, and then Big East. However, if one just used NET rankings the SEC might be the most consistently deep leagues just without any teams at the top.

December 4, 2025: One of the most anticipated home games of the season for Michigan State is finally here - Duke. And the game is turning out to be even bigger than most expected as both teams enter the game undefeated and ranked in the top ten. Duke arrives with national player of the year front runner, Cameron Boozer, who has been tearing teams apart in just about every aspect of the game. Of course, Michigan State is not slouch either as they will see if their elite offensive rebounding and home court advantage is enough to topple the Blue Devils. Duke is 2-0 in the Breslin in Tom Izzo’s tenure and he is certainly looking to turn that around if possible. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

December 2, 2025: Michigan State opened up Big Ten play in East Lansing against the Iowa Hawkeyes and their new head coach, Ben McCollum and won 71-52 The win moves MSU to 8-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play in the young season. It was a game that MSU controlled from about the 6 minute mark after completing a 13-0 run to knock the Hawkeyes out of the game. Probably the biggest key to the Spartans’ success in the game was the performance of Jeremy Fears, Jr. in running the offense and defending Iowa point guard, Bennett Stirtz. Stirtz looked rattled in the first half missing all but one of this field goal attempts and only 1 of 4 from the free throw line. Additionally, Michigan State crushed the Hawkeyes on the boards pulling down 56% of their misses and had a 21-6 edge in second chance points. So now the Spartans await the arrival of Duke on Saturday in what will be the last high major team they will face (aside from Penn State on the road) before the calendar changes.

November 30, 2025: Michigan State returns home after a successful Florida trip with wins over East and North Carolina. But now Big Ten play begins with a matchup over a tricky undefeated Iowa team in East Lansing. It will be the first trip to the Breslin for new head coach Ben McCollum and almost the entire team except for transfer Brendan Hausen. The question for the Spartans is whether they can maintain their connectedness on defense and offense against a stingy Iowa team that is going to play very slowly. Can Iowa’s senior point guard, Bennett Stirtz, keep his poise and remain a dominant presence or will Jeremy Fears, Jr. impose his will on the Hawkeyes?

November 27, 2025: This Thanksgiving, Michigan State moved to 7-0 on the season with a big win over North Carolina in Fort Meyers. The 74-58 win now moves the Spartans undefeated as they begin the Big Ten season on Tuesday at home against Iowa. The game was a combination of the Spartans holding down the powerful North Carolina front court and finding ways to effectively score. It was a game where Jeremy Fears really controlled the floor on both ends in the second half and was able to get going offensively. Michigan State really seems to be rounding into form and very early in the season. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

November 26, 2025: On Thanksgiving, Michigan State will face another storied program, North Carolina, in the Fort Meyers Tipoff Classic. Like the Spartans, the Tar Heels are 6-0 and looking to stack up non-conference wins before heading into league play in a few weeks. Unlike last year’s North Carolina team that lacked size, this year’s team boasts a ton of it. They have a 7 footer and two 6’ 10” starters including Caleb Wilson who is legit candidate for freshman of the year. MSU will have its hands full trying to contain the freshman sensation and the Tar Heels’ interior play. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

November 25, 2025: Michigan State played the East Carolina Pirates in the tipoff for the Fort Meyers Classic and won 89-56. It was an impressive performance from the Spartans who led wire to wire and carried a very good first half into and through the entire second. We never saw MSU let up and extended their 23 point half time lead to over 40 before the walk-ons made it in the game. Aside from the suffocating defense, the Spartans exhibited another game over 40% from 3 point range and are now averaging over 32% from 3 which puts them solidly in the middle of the pack nationally in shooting. Now MSU will take on the Tar Heels on Thanksgiving Day which will obviously be much stiffer competition. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?
