  • Michigan State Defeats Incarnate Word 89-59 in 1st Exhibition Game

    October 2, 2026: Michigan State began their season (sort of) with an early exhibition game following the student camp out against the University of Incarnate Word from Texas. The Southland conference team was the pick by MSU and they easily handled the Cardinals, 89-59 behind Jesse McCulloch’s 20 points and 5 rebounds.

    A lot to like in the game and the progression with McCulloch and Jordan Scott who has added strength and some more poise. The rest of the crew looked good too and we will have to wait until October 20 and the matchup against UConn to get a better feel for what this team might be.

    OUR AWESOME SPONSORS

    Every great podcast needs great sponsors. And we’re fortunate to have three that not only support the show, but also make it more fun for you guys.

    First up: Nudge Printing. If you’re looking for Michigan State gear, there are approximately 47,000 places on the internet willing to sell you a green T-shirt. But we recommend going with the Spartans who actually know what they’re doing. Nudge Printing is owned and operated by MSU alums Gabe and Brittany, right here in Michigan. They make some seriously good Spartan apparel, along with gear for a bunch of other schools. And, perhaps most importantly to you, Nudge supplies the apparel and gift cards for our listener contests. So when you win something on the show, there’s a pretty good chance Nudge is the reason you have something to put on your body or spend at the mall. Check them out, support a couple of fellow Spartans, and get yourself some new gear.

    Then there are The Brothers that just do Gutters. You know what gutters do? They keep water out of places where water shouldn't be. You know what we want Michigan State to do? Keep opposing players out of places where opposing players shouldn't be. That's why The Brothers are the official sponsor of our “player MSU needs to keep in the gutter” segment. It’s a match made in heaven. If your gutters are overflowing, clogged, damaged, or generally behaving like a Big Ten defense that has forgotten its assignments, call Kurt Stauffer and the Grand Rapids crew. The Brothers that just do Gutters — Grand Rapids They handle installation, repair, cleaning, maintenance and gutter guards throughout the Grand Rapids area. They also have you covered in Metro Detroit. The Brothers that just do Gutters — Metro Detroit Mention “Final Four” to get 10% off your gutter work. That's a much better discount than the one you'll get if you tell your contractor you finished second in your office pool.

    And finally, our friends at Squeegee Squad of Grand Rapids. We’ve decided that if two people are going to spend an entire basketball season arguing about who is better at cleaning the glass, we might as well have a professional window-cleaning company sponsor it. Thus, Squeegee Squad sponsors our “who cleans the glass best?” competition. They specialize in residential and commercial window cleaning, along with pressure and soft washing, gutter cleaning and other exterior cleaning services. Basically, if it's dirty and attached to your house or business, they probably have a way to make it look better. Squeegee Squad of Grand Rapids And if you'd like to let someone else handle the dirty work, you can request a free estimate here.

    We genuinely appreciate all three of these businesses for supporting the show. And yes, we realize there is a certain amount of irony in having a gutter company sponsor a segment about putting an opposing player in the gutter while a window-cleaning company sponsors a competition about cleaning the glass. We didn't plan it this perfectly. It just happened.

  • 4* Jaydn Jenkins Commits to Michigan State & Pregame Prep for Incarnate Word (Exhibition)

    October 1, 2026: Tom Izzo continues to crush it on the recruiting trail year after year as he lands another 4* for next year - Jadyn Jenkins. Jenkins is a 6’10” center who brings a versatile game of defense, offense, and athleticism. He joins fellow 4* point guard Antonio Pemberton for next year’s team.

    MSU added a game late this year to its exhibition schedule - Incarnate Word - to follow the Izzone student campout. The game will occur during what is normally Midnight Madness celebration so it will give a better look for Spartans fans what the team is this year. We don’t expect Incarnate Word to be stiff competition but allow for some experimentation from Izzo and staff.

  • #6 Nebraska Looks to Follow Up Historic Season with a Repeat

    September 30, 2026: It took quite a few years but finally Fred Hoiberg pulled it off. He got Nebraska to the NCAA Tournament and won a game (two actually) before falling to Iowa in the Sweet 16. At the time of his hiring, it felt like Hoiberg was a home run hire but the ‘Huskers struggled for years to be truly competitive in the Big Ten.

    Last year was the breakout year where they were one of the last undefeated in college basketball going all the way until January before their first loss. Nebraska had some key personnel losses with graduations so following up last season’s success might not be so easy. However, Pryce Sandfort’s return should help their chances.

  • #7 USC Preview: Can Eric Musselman Finally Get It Working in SoCal?

    September 28, 2026: Eric Musselman was part of the strange domino coaching carousel before the Trojans joined the Big Ten. Entering his third season, he has yet to make the NCAA tournament despite having a host of highly touted talent. Was his departure from Arkansas just him getting out ahead of the posse or was it the opportunity in SoCal?

    Now he is fielding his most talented team yet with 5 McDonald’s All Americans. Will the dysfunction of previous teams emerge or will the Trojans begin to get cooking and earn a postseason berth?

  • Michigan State's Schedule Released: Is the Final Four on the Schedule?

    September 25, 2026: Michigan State’s 2026-27 schedule leaves plenty of room for a high ceiling—but there won’t be many easy nights along the way. The Spartans face four heavyweights in the nonconference portion, giving them an early opportunity to prove they can compete with the best in the country. And while the rest of the nonconference slate may not carry the same national profile, there aren’t many true cupcakes either, meaning MSU should be tested throughout the opening months of the season.

    Then comes a Big Ten schedule filled with potential landmines and trap games. The conference is loaded with teams capable of making life difficult on any given night, and MSU will have to navigate a challenging combination of road games, physical opponents and matchups that could easily be overlooked. We break down the entire schedule, identify the biggest tests, examine where the Spartans could stumble, and discuss what this schedule could tell us about just how high Michigan State can climb this season.

  • The #8 Ohio State Buckeyes Finally Made the Tourney, Can they Do it Again?

    September 24, 2026: Ohio State has been a very curious program in the Big Ten since Chris Holtman took over. On paper, they seemed to have enough talent but underperformed. They lacked an identity and were largely mediocre with only occasional quick NCAA tournament appearances. Then the school fired Holtman mid season in the midst of another lackluster performance.

    However, instead of seeking out other coaches, they quickly hired their interim - Jake Diebler who had some modest success finishing for Holtman. In picking Diebler so quickly they missed out on maybe Dusty May. And although Diebler finally got them to the NCAAs last year, they were again a slightly better than mediocre team and enter this season without their four year starting point guard, Bruce Thornton.

    Like a lot of teams, few returning players and a lot of new faces. Will they work? Will the Buckeyes become relevant again like they were in the 2000s? Definitely more questions than answers for

  • Was the Elite 8 a Fluke or Will #9 Iowa Stay Relevant?

    September 21, 2026: What appeared to be a solid yet underwhelming year for the Hawkeyes - .500 Big Ten record, up and down play but a NCAA Tournament bid - turned into so much more as they had probably the most improbable of tournament runs where they knocked off top seed Florida in the second round and made it all the way to the Elite 8 where they lost to Illinois.

    Although the regular season was nothing like the postseason, it showed that Iowa may have found its coach as they established an identity that will probably hold up in the league assuming they can land the right players. Ben McCollum is entering his second year and the look of the team is changing as they move from a smaller and less physical lineup to one of length and strength. It will be interesting to see if the Hawkeyes can maintain a level of consistency and maybe contention over the next few years in the Big Ten.

  • 4* PG Antonio Pemberton Commits to Michigan State - Who's Next?

    September 18, 2026: This afternoon, Michigan State fans got get an answer on one of the biggest recruiting questions of the 2027 cycle when four-star point guard Antonio Pemberton announces his college commitment. The 6-foot-1 guard from Masters Academy International has emerged as one of the top point guards in the class, and Michigan State is one of eight finalists for his services. Pemberton’s decision comes just days after his visit to East Lansing for MSU’s Grind Week, making the timing particularly intriguing as Tom Izzo looked to add another high-level point guard to the Spartan pipeline. We’ll break down Pemberton’s game, his fit at Michigan State, what his commitment would mean for the 2027 class, and what the Spartans could potentially be building around him in the backcourt.

    We also looked beyond Pemberton and examine the next phase of Michigan State’s 2027 recruiting efforts. Four-star center Jaydn Jenkins was another prominent Grind Week visitor and remains a major target, while four-star big man Kamsi Awaka has recently entered the picture and has Michigan State among his finalists. With Izzo looking to add size and talent to the frontcourt, which of those two could emerge as the next significant commitment target for the Spartans? We’ll take a closer look at Jenkins and Awaka, their games and recruiting situations, and discuss how the Pemberton decision could shape what comes next for Michigan State.

  • #10 Indiana Preview - Will They Ever Figure Things Out in Bloomington?

    September 17, 2026: Indiana is a good example of what can go wrong at a blue blood basketball school. Since losing Bobby Knight, Indiana has predominantly been stuck in a purgatory of sorts with only very brief moments of success. Recently, despite spending piles of money, the Hoosiers have struggled to win in any meaningful ways. Partly by hanging on to Mike Woodson for one year too many (looks like they missed the chance to hire Dusty May) and bizarre NIL spends for rosters that don’t work.

    Now under new coach Darien DeVries, the Hoosiers are hoping that by changing the composition of his team, the second year coach will start to bring Indiana basketball back to relevancy. Once again, Indiana went heavy in the portal spending and they went after what they desperately lacked last year - size and strength. Will the combo work this season or will the Hoosiers spend another year trying to get things to work in Bloomington?

  • #11 Wisconsin Badgers - Can Gard Work Transfer Magic Again?

    September 14, 2026: For a school without as much financial support as most in the Big Ten, Wisconsin coach Greg Gard has been very effective finding diamonds in the transfer rough. A lot of Wisconsin’s success over the past few years has been due to finding the right guy passed over by other high major programs and making it work.

    Gard has not only worked his magic in the portal but also changed the way Wisconsin plays. They have become a more volatile team by relying heavily on the 3 point shot and increasing their pace of play. But can he continue to strike gold year after year or is Wisconsin due for a down year? This season it looks like it will be a slightly less than year but maybe Gard can surprise us again.
