MEN'S BASKETBALL Dr. G&W's Quick Odds Update (post-Iowa)

There is nothing better than writing an article centered around MSU's faint, but still possible odds to win a Big Ten title and then hours later watching that same team on a less-than-stable Peacock stream completely lay an egg against freaking Iowa.

Thanks for nothing, guys.

But what does the loss mean to MSU's overall prospects? I just had a chance to update the Odds and Stats Tracker and here is a quick update.

MSU has fallen back to fifth place in the Big Ten in expected wins at 11.44 win. Wisconsin (12.19) and Northwestern (11.73) are both now ahead of the Spartans with Nebraska (11.11) not far behind. That said, my calculations still give the Spartans a 50-50 shot to finish at 12-8 or better considering Michigan State projects to be between a 5.5-point and 9-point favorite three of the four remaining games. The MSU win distribution is shown below:

20240221 MSU wins.jpg

As for the Big Ten Tournament, Michigan State is also in fifth place in expected seed. But, due to the Spartans poor tiebreaker position, MSU is most likely to earn the No. 6 seed. While a double-bye is better, the No. 6 seed may not be so bad. Based on the current seed projects, the Spartans' path in the BTT could feature games against No. 11 Penn State, No. 3 Wisconsin, No. 2 Illinois, and then No. 1 Purdue. This could allow the Green and White to pick up several more Q1 wins to pad the NCAA Tournament resume.

Speaking of the NCAA Tournament, I am guessing that a lot of brackets will have the Spartans slipping to the No. 8/9 seed line due to the loss to Iowa. However, my seeding algorithm still have MSU as a No. 7 seed as the No. 26 team on the seed list. If the Spartans can finish strong with a record of at least 12-8, my algorithm suggests that the Spartans will move back up to the No. 6 line, pending peformance in the Big Ten Tournament. But, a record of 11-9 or worse will most likely have the Spartans flirting with the dreaded No. 8/9 seed position.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Tom Izzo knows 'The final stretch is always critical' as March approaches

As March quickly approaches, Michigan State men's basketball has not had a wealth of time to breathe since beginning conference play this season, but the Spartans are due for a much needed break after this weekend. MSU had an extra day of rest before it will take on Ohio State at the Breslin Center on Sunday, then the team will have six days off, which head coach Tom Izzo said will be important.

More here:

MEN'S BASKETBALL Xavier Booker update

Xavier Booker met with the media (including myself) yesterday. We had some really good back & forth. He’s gained around 20 pounds since arriving on campus (up to 236 now). He’s staying after in the weight room, drinking protein shakes, etc.

That’s not easy to do during the season because guys are running up and down the court. A lot of them lose weight instead of gain it during the season.

At practice yesterday, he was in there with the ones (Walker, Hoggard, Akins, Hall). Booker said that the coaches have been getting him more reps even with the starters.

He’s also in alignment with Izzo about his development and progress. He knows that it’s a process.

We’ll have a full story with quotes from Booker soon.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL MSU Women are up 24 at Halftime Against Rutgers

The score is 51-27 and MSU is able to spread the time amongst 7-8 players. Joiner is the leading scorer with 20 points on 6-7 three point shooting. She is the only player in double figures. I hope they maintain this lead and they can give some playing time to subs to rotate and give them some rest for future games. Off to a great start.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Dean Lockwood

Just watched the all-access video of Dean on the MSU athletic site. If you get the chance to watch it. CDL contribution to the program for the last few years has been so important. I remember watching Dean play H S ball at Bay City All Saints. He started coaching college men at Northwood and SVSU and eventually spent several years under Pat Summit at Tennessee. If you enjoy seeing the ladies doing post moves , up & unders, etc. , a lot of the credit goes to CDL. We are very fortunate to have him here. BTW, Coach Fralick's husband played for Dean.

RECRUITING Following offer, Michigan State is making 2026 QB Troy Huhn feel 'special'

While Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Brian Lindgren are still looking to secure a class of 2025 signal-caller, they are already in the process of looking for a quarterback in the 2026 cycle as well. Earlier this week, Lindgren offered 2026 California quarterback Troy Huhn.

Huhn, out of Mission Hills High School in San Marcos, California, already has well over double-digit scholarship offers and is looking forward to learning more about the Spartans as things moves forward.

Following the offer, Huhn spoke with Spartans Illustrated to provide his thoughts on Michigan State and his recruitment.

"Being offered by Michigan State means a lot," Huhn said. 'They are historically a great program. They also develop players to get to that next level."

MEN'S BASKETBALL Dr. G&W's Basketball Odds Update: Deep Six

Here is my latest math-based update on where the Spartans stand in the Big Ten race and beyond. I touched on a lot of this information earlier in the week, but I go into a bit more detail here. My key points are:

-MSU is trending as the No. 6 seed in the Big Ten Tournament (and maybe that’s OK)
-The metrics for the NCAA Tournament still look really good. My numbers suggest that if anything, some of the current seed projections are too conservative. If MSU can finish strong (say 3-1), a No. 6 seed looks most likely and I think a No. 5 seed is on the table with a few BTT wins.
-If MSU only goes 2-2 down the stretch, then placement on the No. 8/9 line is more likely

RECRUITING Exclusive to Spartans Illustrated - the latest on MSU's NIL

GYMNASTICS Big Ten title, history at stake Friday for MSU gymnastics

MSU gymnastics is on the cusp of making history Friday night.

At stake is (1) an outright regular season Big Ten championship, and (2) back-to-back championships, both which would be firsts for MSU gymnastics.

It's our lead story at Spartans Illustrated:

MEN'S BASKETBALL Late night thoughts post-Iowa loss

This is a veteran team. Thinking back to the preseason, not many thought leadership, passion and overall energy of this team would be a question mark in February, but here we are.

In his postgame press conference, Tom Izzo pointed to the lack of energy as one of the reasons why Michigan State loss.

Fair. I would agree.

But why is a team that is so full of veterans have a lack of energy in a Big Ten game in February?

Think of Izzo's great teams in the past. They always had that guy that wouldn't be afraid to get in people's faces to get the most out of them (Mateen, Green, etc.). I don't think there's any of that with this current team.

Who's the guy on this team that's going to get the team ready for a midweek game at home against an inferior opponent? Who's the guy to get the team fired up and ready to play right from the get go? Who's the guy that helps the team avoid complacency?

From being around the team a lot, I don't have a good answer to those questions. And that's a problem. Right now, my best guess is Davis Smith, who isn't in the rotation. Or maybe A.J. Hoggard but he is inconsistent in that aspect. Hoggard is that guy sometimes. Sometimes he isn't. He needs to be that guy. I just don't think it's going to happen on a consistent basis. That's an issue. And it's not one that can be easily solved. That passion, fire and tenacity is not entirely coachable.

Now, I certainly think there's less passion nowadays in college sports. Maybe a lot of teams are having this issue with their players. I don't know. It could just be the new landscape of college sports and everyone treating it more as a business or it could be a societal thing.

It's been hard to predict games with this team this season. I think that'll continue. They have the potential to make a deep run in March with the talent they have, but they are too inconsistent for me to believe that it will happen. Right now, pending the matchups in tournament play, this looks like a Sweet 16 team at best. I don't think MSU has the ability to play consistent, good basketball on back-to-back weekends.

Let me know your thoughts.
