Latest news and updates about the Michigan State
Here are the results of this week’s survey questions, and we have already seen at least some of the results to what we asked you to make a call on. In last night’s game vs. Wisconsin, Denham Wojcik played 8 minutes in relief of Jeremy Fears. To the best of my memory, no other player […]
That was not the performance you wanted after your most recent Illinois win. Wisconsin showed up ready to shoot – they hit back-to-back threes to start the game, but Coen Carr responded with a three-pointer and five points of his own. Michigan State followed that up with four consecutive misses by Jeremy Fears and Carson […]
It has been a full six days since the Spartans took to the court. Hopefully that layoff has the team recharged and ready to make a run down the stretch to contend for the conference crown. It starts tonight with a roadie against the Badgers. Are we in store for another nailbiter or can MSU […]

It was a Saturday to remember for the Green & White. The Women’s Basketball Team got it started in the afternoon with a road win at Penn State. In the evening, the Hockey Team finished their regular-season series against our rivals with a dominant win at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. I attended that game […]
You may want to re-read the last paragraph of Lucas’ game preview for this game because that’s what the Spartans did tonight. After a few days of internal debate, Tom Izzo decided to start Jeremy Fears after the Michigan State floor general’s style of play was questioned in the last two games. This probably didn’t […]
This week’s results of our survey questions may be a little skewed as I imagine most of the voting occurred prior to Wednesday evening’s defeat at Minnesota. Certainly, we would have received some different, less positive, results had we dropped these questions on Thursday. That said, here is how TOC Nation voted. Just under half […]
Redshirt sophomore point guard Kennedy Blair’s path to becoming the best player on the No. 12 team in the nation—and the team she grew up rooting for—involved a financial sacrifice and playing-time gamble before her college career began. Blair gave up a scholarship to Bowling Green because she wanted to follow head coach Robyn Fralick […]
During the second quarter of No. 22 Maryland women’s basketball’s clash with No. 12 Michigan State, backup point guard Kyndal Walker crossed the halfcourt line. She picked her head up, scanned the Spartans’ defense and identified Kennedy Blair tentatively stepping toward her, her body perpendicular to the rim. Walker attacked, blowing past Blair before she […]

Vibes were high in East Lansing, with another top-10 squad seemingly destined to […]

The bench woke up Throughout Maryland’s four-game losing streak, […]
Illinois will search for another top-10 road win Saturday night in East Lansing, and one of Michigan State’s best players may not be on the court (at least to start). Tom Izzo had some choice words for Jeremy Fears’ performance in the Spartans’ Wednesday night to Minnesota. “Jeremy’s gotta grow up a little bit,” Izzo […]
The Gophers snapped their 7-game losing streak, beating #10 Michigan State 73-76. After frequently leading at the half and collapsing in the second, Minnesota extned their lead and held on against the #10 team in the country.

There are some great what-ifs in Duke Basketball history. What if Bob Verga hadn’t gotten sick just before the 1966 Final Four? What if Duke had played Texas Western instead of Kentucky? Could Mike Lewis have dealt with Big Daddy Lattin? We’ll never know. What if Bob Bender hadn’t had appendicitis during the 1980 NCAA […]

The game started well enough as there were a number of highlight plays in the opening segment. Michigan State got a defensive stop to get things going and Jeremy Fears drew a foul on Michigan’s 7-3 center, Aday Mara, but he would then turn it over passing to Kohler when play continued. Mara would get […]

Rutgers didn’t get the win Tuesday night, but it may have earned something just as meaningful — public respect from one of the most decorated coaches in college basketball history.
