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

December 4, 2023: The early abbreviated Big Ten play has begun and has already had some interesting developments. Purdue lost its opener in Evanston to Northwestern which is exactly what happened to the Spartans last year (although it was at home).

This year, the Badgers come to visit and they're coming off a big victory over #3 Marquette at home. The game will be a challenge and if Michigan State wants to have the season it hopes to have, it needs to start with a win here.

November 30, 2023: On Tuesday evening, Michigan State played the Georgia Southern Eagles from the Sun Belt Conference and did exactly what we hoped they would do - win easily. This game was really never in doubt but there were definitely some very interesting story lines that came from the game.

The top story was that AJ Hoggard was replaced in the starting lineup with Tre Holloman. And Tre responded well finishing with 7 points on 2-4 shooting and 10 assists to just 2 turnovers. Jeremy Fears Jr. spelled Tre and also played significant minutes to finish with 6 points and 10 rebounds including a few assists. Although ultimately AJ played the most minutes, it will be interesting to see where Izzo goes moving forward with respect to the role, rotation, and minutes for AJ.

November 26, 2023: We are fast approaching the annual interruption of the nonconference schedule with a home and away Big Ten game. On December 5, MSU begins its march to a Big Ten title against Wisconsin, but first, it must face the Georgia Southern Eagles from the Sun Belt Conference.

It's the second team from the Sun Belt that the Spartans will have faced but this team is no where near the level of competition like James Madison. This will be an opportunity for MSU to build upon the small strides we saw in the Arizona game. Can they come out with the fire they showed in the second half against the Wildcats? Will the shooting finally start to come around?

November 24, 2023: Michigan State got to play a premium game on Thanksgiving Day after the Lions game against the Arizona Wildcats in Palm Springs, CA. Although the game was entertaining and the Spartans fought all the way back to take a late lead on the 'Cats, they ended up falling 72-66  with a 9-0 Arizona run. 

Things looked bleak in the first half with MSU going down by as many as 15 points. Fortunately, Tyson Walker willed them back into the game keeping contact with Arizona and cutting the lead to 7 before a last second three at the buzzer in the first half. In the second half, the script flipped with the Spartans as the aggressors on both ends of the court.

November 21, 2023: Thanksgiving is a day for turkey, stuffing, napping, football, and this year - MSU basketball. In a premiere matchup against a top rated Arizona Wildcats team, the Spartans might be facing their most difficult test of the year.

Arizona comes into the game at 5-0 with a signature win on the road at Cameron Indoor Arena against the Duke Blue Devils. Featuring a sensational sophomore guard, Kylan Boswell, and two 7 foot centers, the Wildcats will be a formidable test for this MSU team. Can Michigan State hold on inside against the giants and keep a team shooting over 41% from 3 in check?

November 19, 2023: Capping what was a very good weekend for MSU sports fans with a basketball victory over Butler Friday night, the football team winning a road game, the MSU hockey team sweeping #1 Wisconsin, and the Lions coming from behind to climb to 8-2 on the season, the win over Alcorn State was icing on the cake.

The Spartans were without leading scorer Tyson Walker but didn't need him as Tre Holloman had a career high 17 point behind 5/5 shooting from 3 to go along with five assists and 1 turnover and 2 steals. Aside from Tre's 3s came the highlight dunk of the season by Coen Carr who posterized a hapless Brave by going through him for a two handed dunk on his head.  This was a game Michigan State needed to gain some confidence and maintain their focus which they largely did.

November 18, 2023: Alcorn State comes to visit the Breslin Sunday night in a tune up for MSU's premiere game against Arizona on Thanksgiving Day. The Braves are from the SWAC which is a traditional 16 seed in the NCAA tournament. In short, this shouldn't be a game that stresses Michigan State fans too much.

Alcorn State is a team this year that struggles on both ends of the court. Their profile is of a team that is challenged to score or defend - not the makings of a successful group. The only things they do well is get to the line (which they shoot poorly) and forcing turnovers through steals.

November 17, 2023: The Spartans badly needed a game where they could build upon the positives in the Duke loss and Butler had the unfortunate luck to be the victim of MSU's growth. In a game that Michigan State started out good offensively, Butler was never really in the game after about the 10 minute mark in the first half. MSU pulled away to lead by 12 into the break and never really looked back the rest of the way.

It was an emotional homecoming for Pierre Brooks II and one which did not see him play as well as we are sure he would have preferred. The Spartans held the Bulldogs to less than 30% shooting from the field and outrebounded them 52-42. Also, MSU continued to show growth on the offensive boards pulling down nearly 40% of their misses.

November 15, 2023: After dropping a game to Duke in the Champions Classic, Michigan State heads back to the Breslin Center to play the Butler Bulldogs. The game is the last one of the series known as the Gavitt Games which matched Big Ten and Big East programs throughout the years. 

Butler comes in coached by a guy very familiar to MSU fans - Thad Matta. Matta is in his second season and has his team off to a good start at 3-0. Of particular interest to Spartan fans will be the return of transfer Pierre Brooks as he makes his return back to East Lansing for the first time since leaving the team in the Spring.

November 14, 2023: Michigan State faced off against the Duke Blue Devils in the Champions Classic tonight and lost 74-65. Neither team looked like it was playing crisply and struggled in the first ten minutes of the game to score. Duke largely couldn't get a shot up because of turnovers caused by MSU and Michigan State couldn't make open jumpers.

By the end of the first half, Duke started to pull away by hitting a few shots and getting Malik Hall in foul trouble since he was doing the majority of the damage for the Spartans. In the second half, MSU finally started to find the bottom of the net as they hit 4-6 three pointers and shot nearly 60% from the field. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough as Duke hit just enough 3s and free throws to stay one to three possessions up on MSU. Clearly, despite the loss, the Spartans showed glimmers of the team we think they can be this year.
