On Sunday, three ranked teams lost their undefeated status. While previously-No. 13 Ole Miss and previously-No. 20 Michigan State were upset by unranked opponents, then-No. 21 Washington was defeated by No. 16 USC. The Rebels and Spartans thus took the biggest tumbles of the week, dropping a respective four and five spots. The Huskies, in […]

A 48-point blowout for the No. 6 Michigan Wolverines over the Purdue Boilermakers, a shocking 78-64 home win for the Wisconsin Badgers over then No. 20 Michigan State, and a double-overtime thriller where the Minnesota […]
For the most part, yesterday’s basketball game between Michigan State and Duke was everything it had promised to be – two heavyweight teams exchanging blows. In the end, our Spartans fell a little short and the Blue Devils continued to be Tom Izzo’s Achilles’ heel. And as I said to friends I spoke to afterwards, […]

As is tradition, last week around Thanksgiving, most of the early season tournaments and multi-team events were held, giving us some of biggest matchups that take place before conference play. Soon, we’ll be headed into a quiet period before the new year, but that’s not this week either. This week, the ACC-SEC Challenge will take […]
Michigan State played one hack of a defensive game against UNC, holding the Heels to a 38% shooting average and clamping down on UNC’s shooting from beyond the arc for a 74-58 win. A combination of poor play on UNC’s part and excellent execution on the Spartans led to the Heels suffering their first loss […]
After getting swept by Wisconsin the week prior, Michigan State bounced back with two wins against Colgate this week. In the series, Flyers prospect Shane Vansaghi and his new linemates found offensive success, with Vansaghi picking up three primary assists. Fellow prospect Porter Martone had a bit of a quiet series, with just one assist and a goal that was called back. Vansaghi’s new line shines Vansaghi began the season on a line centered by Cayden Lindstrom, with Gavin O’Connell a...

If you’re a Carolina fan, I sincerely hope the Tar Heels’ 74-58 loss to Michigan State was the most unpleasant part of your Thanksgiving, and I also hope you agree that Henri Veesaar had the best game of anyone wearing a UNC jersey. The strongest evidence of Veesaar’s impact on this matchup may have been […]

And speaking of those two teams, here are the results of the two survey questions we asked you this week. In a fairly close vote, […]
After opening the season 6-0 for the first time since 2016, the Tar Heels finally suffered a loss thanks to an aggressive Michigan State team that came into today’s game on a mission. Both teams fought hard for all 40 minutes, but ultimately poor three-point shooting and defensive lapses doomed UNC to leave Florida with […]
The MSU offense started strong with a three from Trey Fort followed by a Coen Carr dunk for a 5-0 lead. UNC then went on an 8-2 run to go up a point. Coen Carr responded with his 2nd dunk to put MSU up 9-8 at the first TV timeout. The two teams traded buckets […]

It was an up-and-down week in the Big Ten, highlighted by impressive neutral-court showings from No. 1 Purdue, No. 17 Michigan State and Nebraska but lackluster performances from the bottom three of the conference (Minnesota, Rutgers and Penn State).
