The Michigan State men's basketball team is coming off a 64-62 loss to Northwestern. And the timing couldn't be worse as the Spartans hit the road for ranked opponents Wisconsin on Friday and Illinois on Tuesday. 

Lansing State Journal reporters Graham Couch and Phil Friend, and Detroit Free Press beat writer Chris Solari, discuss the state of the Spartans, those upcoming games, and make their predictions for those contests. 

Then they move to football, where freshman Ma'a Gaoteote has entered the transfer portal and Georgia DB Ameer Speed is transferring in.
