It was a busy week on the personal side of things last week and I was not able to get as many updates out as I would have liked. That said, MSU's overall position is not that different than it was two weeks ago. As you can see from the article, MSU has been bouncing between an expected win total of 11 and 12 wins for a long time. It is enough to make one slightly nauseous.
That said, now is the time for MSU to make their move. The late January/early February "Tom Izzo Bermuda Triangle" is now past, and the schedule is very favorable down the stretch. The road games at Penn State and at Michigan are still a little scary, but if MSU gets both, there is no reason that they should not be 11-6 in conference play with a week to prep for the road game at Purdue.
The other point that I explore a bit here is the following. Is MSU's defensive rebounding getting better while the field goal percentage defense is slipping? Maybe so.
