Using clips from an entirely different game is an odd choice for the program's socials IMO, though

Michigan State remains perfect in Big Ten play after taking down Ohio State in Columbus Friday night.

Szymon Zapala led Michigan State in scoring with a season-high 15 points. Full game recap by @CarterElliott available now:

For the 2nd meet in a row Skyla Schulte is not participating. Anyone have an update? Watched her participate in the Green/White scrimmage and she did really well. Also talked to her prior to the season and she was really excited and ready to go..

Breaking: The Michigan Panthers have signed quarterback Rocky Lombardi, one of their #UFL College Draft Picks. Lombardi played college football at Michigan State and Northern Illinois. He threw for 7,390 yards and 42 touchdowns throughout his career.

Looks great one play, makes a profound mistake the next

According to Rivals' Adam Gorney class of 2027 safety Khalil Terry has committed to Michigan State. Terry also tells me he has committed, and I have questions out to him. I am waiting on Michigan State sources to confirm the commitment to provide more info.

Terry was offered recently and on campus on Saturday. He is originally from Ohio.

Brain freeze decision to kick the FG on the 1 yard line and go to 2-point conversion (from the 3) AND stop Toledo on their attempt.

Candle had to be turning cartwheels.

I've always thought he's not smart. Confirmed,

Here are some stats to watch for in tonight's MSU at Ohio State basketball game:

The Buckeyes are a very poor rebounding team and tend to foul a lot. MSU is an elite rebounding team and also tend to draw a lot of fouls. That's two big areas of strength on weakness.

I am not sure what this is going to mean for the actual game, but it could be the roadmap for what would be a HUGE win for MSU. That said, the Buckeyes are just confusing. They got destroyed by Auburn and Maryland, but they beat Kentucky by 20. That said, a friend of mine from work is a big UK fan and his take was that the Wildcats are just not a god defensive team right now.

This game could go a lot of ways. It is nice for MSU, because a loss will not be the end of the world, but a win would be massive.

For today's update I have two major things to share.

On Thursday night, the Spartans demolished the Washington Huskies to keep pace with the Michigan Wolverines at the top of the Big Ten standings. But where do the Spartans actually stand? They are not currently the favorite, but they are certainly one of the main contenders.

Second, I am using this post to reintroduce one of the most import concepts in understanding basketball stats: the four factors. Briefly those four key stats are shooting, turnovers, rebounding, and getting to the free throw line. This article contains a deep dive into those numbers including where the current MSU teams stands in the Big Ten and relative to past MSU teams.

Also, today I am rolling out the Data and Stats tracker as a companion to this article. It contains all the data that you didn't know that you needed about Big Ten and MSU basketball this year.

Enjoy!
