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

Holloman's Winning Heave to Beat Maryland 58-55

February 26, 2025: Well, that was probably the most improbable heave for a win in Tom Izzo’s career. Michigan State led by two or three possessions down the stretch in the second half only to give up the lead with Maryland hitting multiple free throws. Then up 2 with under 1 minute to play, Tre Holloman made an almost unthinkable mistake with a bad pass in the back court leading to 2 free throws by Maryland.
Then MSU with the game tied failed to score letting Maryland get off a three pointer by Ja’Kobi Gillespie that fell short. That’s when Tre Holloman heaved a 2/3 court shot as time expired and hit nothing but net to win the game and send MSU to 14-3 in league play and alone in first place ahead of UM.

Spartans Look to Stay in 1st Place with Trip to Maryland

February 24, 2025: Michigan State is back in first place after their decisive win against rival Michigan but the schedule doesn’t get any easier. On Wednesday night, MSU might have its most difficult game yet on the road as they travel to College Park, Maryland to take on the Terrapins.
The Terrapins are on a 4 game winning streak and have won 10 of their last 12. A solid team both offensively and defensively Maryland is not a team to be taken lightly. And unlike previous years, this team can shoot from outside and features a potential Big Ten Freshman of the year with Derrick Queen.

MSU Beats UM 75-62 in Ann Arbor to Take 1st Place in the Big Ten

February 21, 2025: Michigan State pulled off the upset of Michigan in Ann Arbor 75-62 to take sole possession of first place in the Big Ten on Friday night. It was a game where MSU started out strong to take a 16-8 lead but then got hit with hesitant offense and shots and gave up a UM 15-0 run to find themselves down by 8. The Spartans battled back to pull within 4 at the half.
The second half was much cleaner for MSU as they shot better and protected the ball better. In addition to punishing Michigan on the offensive boards, the Spartans held UM to 24% from 3 for the game and scoreless over the last 4:12 to win going away. It was a decisive win for Izzo and crew and they now sit up half a game with only 4 games yet to play. They get a few days rest before heading for probably their most difficult game left at Maryland on Wednesday.

MSU Heads to Ann Arbor to Battle for First Place in the Big Ten

February 20, 2025: After back to back victories over Illinois and Purdue, MSU now heads to Ann Arbor a half game behind the Wolverines for first place in the Big Ten. It’s fair to say that the race for the top has now come down to MSU, UM, and Wisconsin. Michigan State will play UM twice and Wisconsin once at home over the next 5 games.
Although UM sits at 12-2 atop the league, their record may be a little deceptive as they have won an astounding number of Big Ten games by one or two possessions. Is this a matter of good luck or clutch play? We might find out in a few days as two teams riding winning streaks clash in the first of their two matchups. Will the Spartans be able to contain UM’s twin towers of Wolf and Golden?

MSU Defeats Purdue 75-66 in East Lansing

February 18, 2025: Michigan State followed up its upset road win in Champaign with a statement win over the Purdue Boilermakers, 75-66 in East Lansing. Purdue has had MSU’s number of late winning 8 of the last 9 meetings but had no answers for the Spartans at the rim as they gave up 10 dunks and 10 layups en route to an easy win for MSU.
As usual, it was a collective team win for Michigan State with multiple players scoring in double digits. MSU’s guards were especially good accounting for 17 assists to only 4 turnovers. Meanwhile, they turned Braden Smith alone over 6 times with steals contributing to a 19-8 scoring edge off turnovers. Next up for MSU is a date on Friday with the Wolverines in Ann Arbor for first place in the Big Ten.

MSU to Take on Purdue Next in East Lansing

February 16, 2025: Michigan State just beat the Illini in Champaign and now they return home with a challenging game against fellow Big Ten leader, Purdue. The Boilers are tied in the standings with the Spartans one game back from UM. This will be the only meeting between the two.
After looking awful against the Hoosiers, the Spartans pulled a 180 and looked as good as they did bad against Illinois. So which MSU team will show up against Purdue and will they be able to exploit a bad 2 point defense and rebounding team? In order to stay in the race for a Big Ten title this is certainly an important one for MSU.

MSU Upsets Illinois 79-65 in Champaign

February 15, 2025: Michigan State pulled off an improbable road win over Illinois where they started down 16 and won by 14. Perhaps more strangely, they closed the game on a 15-negative 2 run (a goal tending call got reversed). The win came in large part behind Illinois choosing to spend too much time behind the 3 point line where they shot only 21%.
For the Spartans, Jaxon Kohler had a double double with 23 points, 10 rebounds including 4-5 from behind the arc. Michigan State now moves to 11-3 in the league, 20-5 overall and got Tom Izzo his 354th Big Ten win surpassing Bobby Knight as the winningest coach in Big Ten history. MSU will return home now with their only matchup against Purdue at the Breslin Center.

MSU Set for Rematch in Champaign Against Illinois

February 13, 2025: Michigan State heads back on the road for a rematch against Illinois. The matchup earlier at the Breslin turned out well for the green and white as they got star player, Kasparas Jakucionas, in foul trouble and squeaked out a 2 point victory. Champaign has not been a kind road environment for the Spartans in the recent past and a win there will be a tall order.
The big question is will there be a hangover after that Indiana game? In some ways, it’s hard to imagine MSU looking as flat and passive as they did against the Hoosiers so we should expect a better competitive performance. A road win and sweep of Illinois would do a lot to bolster this team’s profile and help a lot in putting Michigan State back in the race for a Big Ten title.

MSU Falls to Indiana (and its zone) 71-67

February 12, 2025: Michigan State lost a very disappointing game late on Tuesday night to Indiana and its sloppy zone 71-67. Despite a great start to the game with MSU up 20-8, the Hoosiers switched to a lazy 2-3 zone and gummed up the Spartans’ offense the remainder of the game. By playing slow they took MSU completely out of its game and played ahead midway through the first half to the final horn.

Izzo Looks to Break Big Ten Win Record Against Indiana

February 9, 2025: Michigan State took care of business against Oregon with a second half performance for the ages. We’re sure Tom Izzo hopes his team won’t need any heroics to knock off the Hoosiers in East Lansing to record his 354th Big Ten win.
The Hoosiers are a team in disarray as head coach Mike Woodson announced last week that he would be retiring at the end of the year which saves an embarrassing situation for the IU AD who would probably be forced to fire him. Things just haven’t worked out for Indiana and this year hasn’t been any different with a roster that just doesn’t seem to fit together right.
The big question coming into the game for the Spartans is whether or not they will have a full roster as a virus has been spreading through the team. Against Oregon, the bug got Fears and Booker (and to some extent Akins). Will it hit other players or will they back at full strength?
