Right around this time last year, Jaden Akins, Jase Richardson, and the Michigan State Spartans were gearing up for a dominant seven game win streak to close out conference play and secure the Big Ten Title by three whole games.

When all was said and done, Thomas Frank just couldn’t get the supertanker turned around fast enough.

After competitive losses to UCLA and Iowa teams that are more “good” than “great,” the Huskies have run to the end of their leash and have no more room for error if they want to keep any postseason dreams alive. Since they have hung with so many of the nation’s top teams, UW remains #44 […]

Marc Cucurella was surprisingly substituted at half-time in yesterday’s game against Leeds United, with young Jorrel Hato coming on to replace him.
