Indiana men’s basketball will look to bounce back after a devastating home loss to Northwestern that severely damaged the Hoosiers’ NCAA Tournament hopes. Coming to town is a Michigan State team fresh off an impressive win at Mackey Arena, where Indiana was blown out by nearly 30 points last week. If there is a path […]
Yeah, so this caused a firestorm of controversy. The concept of rivalry in college athletics can be a headscratcher. In college football, Michigan State fans view Michigan as their rivals. Michigan fans view Michigan State as their intramural sparring partner because of their far greater concern with the team down south. Meanwhile, in basketball, Ohio […]

This was a tough one. Both teams feelt dead even all night long. Michigan State got a late push, Purdue had two chances to tie or win at the end, and didn’t pull it off. Damn good classic Big Ten basketball game. This will go easier if I dive right into the bullet points: Can […]
We were only a few minutes into this one before it looked like it was going to be a long night as Purdue started the game off on a 9-2 run. They were outhustling Michigan State and were getting easy buckets for Oscar Cluff down low. They took a 13-6 lead heading into the first […]
Coming into Mackey Arena against a Michigan State team that you’re tied with in the conference standings, and have identical overall records as well, you knew this thing was going to be a dog fight.

Happy Tuesday, TOC Nation. Welcome to this week’s survey. MSU Hoops has a big game this Thursday at Purdue. In addition to being a contest that will go a long way in the Big Ten’s battle for 2nd place, or at the very least a triple-bye (yes, “triple”!) in the newly formatted Big Ten Tournament, […]

With Big Ten Tournament hopes hanging on by a thread, Northwestern (8-18, 2-13 B1G) suffered a lopsided 104-68 defeat to No. 18 Michigan State (21-6, 10-6 B1G).

Since winning two straight against Rutgers and Wisconsin, the ‘Cats have lost seven straight. That losing streak has included two double-digit road losses to Indiana and Penn State, who […]
After a frustrating loss at Michigan State last week put some distance between Illinois and the 1-seeds last week, a truly deflating loss at home to Wisconsin threatened to drop the Illini down to a 3-seed. Fortunately for the Illini, Kylan Boswell came back and a stifling defensive performance against Indiana righted the ship. Also, […]
Michigan State is coming off an embarrassing showing in Madison as the Badgers absolutely dominated every aspect of the game. This week, MSU is back home to take on the Bruins, Feb 17 at 8:30pm on Peacock. UCLA Overview Valentine’s Day had no love for the Bruins as they were manhandled by 30 points in […]

Here are the results of this week’s survey questions, and we have already seen at least some of the results to what we asked you to make a call on. In last night’s game vs. Wisconsin, Denham Wojcik played 8 minutes in relief of Jeremy Fears. To the best of my memory, no other player […]
That was not the performance you wanted after your most recent Illinois win. Wisconsin showed up ready to shoot – they hit back-to-back threes to start the game, but Coen Carr responded with a three-pointer and five points of his own. Michigan State followed that up with four consecutive misses by Jeremy Fears and Carson […]
It has been a full six days since the Spartans took to the court. Hopefully that layoff has the team recharged and ready to make a run down the stretch to contend for the conference crown. It starts tonight with a roadie against the Badgers. Are we in store for another nailbiter or can MSU […]
