This also marks 67 days (for those of you reading this article on its’ release date of Wednesday, November 19) since MSU’s last win- the Youngstown State game. What else was going on back on September […]
Michigan State Reacts Survey
Hey TOC Nation, we got two more survey questions for you this week. First up, we want to know how well you think the Spartan offense will perform this Saturday at Iowa. Not going to go so far as to ask if you think we will win because, well, we all know what that survey […]
Instant Recap: Spartans Run Away from Kentucky at Champions Classic, 83-66
It was a fast-paced, back and forth start to the game, as Michigan State hung in early, surprisingly, from the three point line. Kentucky won the opening tip and a Collin Chandler back cut and layup put the Wildcats up 2-0. Chandler hit a three to extend it to 5-0. MSU responded with threes from […]

Early Season Check In with MSU Women’s Basketball
Michigan State Women’s Basketball is approaching the midpoint of their non-conference schedule and are off to a dominant start to the 2025-26 season. The out-of-conference games haven’t yet presented a real challenge to the team, although the upcoming Big Ten schedule will provide plenty of opportunities for close games. MSU also hasn’t left the confines […]
MSU vs Kentucky Basketball Preview
MSU heads to the big stage once again on Tuesday in Madison Square Garden to face one of the preseason contenders, Kentucky Wildcats. MSU enters the contest undefeated and 5.5 point underdogs.

With the addition of EthanTaylor on Friday, Michigan State’s 2026 four-member basketball recruiting class moved to #1 in the nation, according to 247Sports. Three athletes have already signed, and Taylor will hopefully have his paperwork in soon to make it official. The class is well diversified across the positions with point guard Carlos Medlock Jr., […]
MSU Hockey Continues to Roll
At least there has been one team worth watching on Saturday besides Spartan Football. MSU hockey continues to roll as they complete a sweep over Notre Dame in South Bend. MSU won 4-1 on Friday and 3-1 on Saturday to make their win streak hit 9 and 4-0 in B1G. MSU did a better job […]
Michigan State Loses Again, 28-10
The game started about as good as we could have hoped for. Michigan State kicked off and immediately forced a three-and-out after a Penn State fumbled snap led to a ten-yard loss on 3rd. The Spartans took over at their 43 after the punt, and on 1st down, Elijah Tau-Tolliver found a hole on the […]

Standing over 7 feet tall, Taylor is widely considered the #2 center in the class, that according to both 247Sports and Rivals. Rivals has him […]

Michigan State Wins The Battle Of Sparta, 79-60
This was one of those games that was over before it finished. The Spartans were simply a much more talented team than the Spartans, and it was going to very difficult for the Spartans to keep up with the Spartans. Okay, that’s enough of that. I can’t use the word “Spartans” anymore. Here’s a brief […]

Both teams will be in search of their first Big Ten conference win […]
Michigan State Hit With Sanctions From NCAA
I hardly have it in me to write this. Kind of wish I did not see some of you already talking about it in the comments of the last article. Okay, here goes… Apparently, MSU football was involved in some recruiting illegalities during our former coach’s tenure. The official statement from the university states that […]

Getting To Know The Enemy: 6Qs About The Penn State Nittany Lions
It’s 11/11. How appropriate then that we are going to be previewing a pair of teams that seem to keep rolling snake-eyes this year. I sat down with Brian Bennett from Black Shoe Diaries to discuss this year’s Nittany Lions team. Let’s see what he had to say. 1. Based on how last season finished […]
MSU Women’s Soccer is NCAA Tournament Bound
After coming up just short against the Washington Huskies by way of penalty kicks in Sunday’s dramatic Big Ten Championship bout; the 12-3-6 Michigan State Women’s Soccer squad has punched their ticket to the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

Michigan State Weekend Recap: Likes & Dislikes
It was a great day for the Michigan State athletic department on Saturday, and I was there to take it all in. Well, I was a few minutes late to the basketball game because I stuck around for the hockey press conference. The action continued on Sunday with a Big Ten championship on the line […]
MSU Hockey Completes The Sweep
First and foremost allow me to be another voice in saying what a disgrace by the Big Ten Network to not get one of these games on for better viewership. This is some special hockey being played, future stars and a caliber of game that is far more entertaining than some of the garbage that’s […]
Instant Recap: Michigan State Holds On for 69-66 Win Over Arkansas
With #1 Michigan State Hockey completing the sweep of #3 Penn State just prior to tipoff, Spartan Nation could turn its attention to basketball and the Breslin Center crowd appeared to be ready for Arkansas.
