MSU accelerates past Ohio State 78-67 in a 60-possession game. Statsheet box score. This was, of course, a tale of two halves. The tale of the first half was Durrell Summers single-handedly keeping the team afloat, scoring 16 of the team’s 26 points as the rest of the team struggled with turnovers and 3-point shooting [...]

The Wildcats stun the Spartans 70-63 in a 63-possession game. StatSheet box score. The Spartan fan half of my brain is pretty mad about this one. We lost to Northwestern, of all teams, to end a 28-game home court winning streak and ruin a perfect conference record. And we did it by completely losing our [...]

Michigan State escapes Happy Valley with a 5-point win: 78-73 in a 65-possession game. Statsheet box score. (Note: I just realized the Statsheet box scores have an “Advanced Player Stats” tab with individual tempo-free numbers. Wicked awesome.) That was a very unpleasant 10 minutes of basketball. After a game like this one, it’s easy to [...]

The Spartans knock out the Grizzlies 82-66 in a 65-possession game. Official box score. For once, I got the keys to the game right: rebounding and 3-point shooting. MSU out-rebounded Oakland at both ends of the court and knocked down 11 of 20 three-point attempts (55.0%), resulting in the four-factor graph below: Stats by StatSheet.com [...]

Michigan State knocks off The Citadel 79-65 in a 66-possession game. Official box score. In honor of Festivus, let’s start with the Airing of Grievances: It seems to me Travis Walton played more minutes (at least 10) at point guard than he has in any other game this season. He also had his worst offensive [...]

Rankings Update MSU slid a bit to #19/22 in the polls. Apparently, the voters weren’t impressed by the 118 points against Alcorn State. We’re up to #28 in the Sagarin ratings, but still down at #39 under the Kenpom version. The Return of Goran Draws Nigh Goran Suton practiced today, and his knee was reportedly [...]

Steve Grinczel on Suton’s knee surgery: Suton’s 15-minute procedure was performed Thursday, Izzo said Friday evening after practice. A small “fleck” of cartilage that may have contributed to the pain Suton experienced in his left knee was removed. According to the article, he could be back in as little as two weeks, but all the [...]
