The Michigan State Spartans couldn’t overcome a huge deficit in a 78-76 loss to the UCLA Bruins.
Michigan State fell behind in the first few minutes and seemed out of sync for much of the game.
However, trailing by more than 20 with less than 10 minutes to play, something finally clicked for the Spartans.
Michigan State mounted a furious comeback, but Kalin Lucas traveled with less than a second to play to end their hopes of advancing to the next round. (Read More…)

Just as the Michigan State Spartans seemed to be turning the corner, they were knocked off by the Penn State Nittany Lions, 61-48.
The Spartans seemed like they were getting things together as per usual this time of the year and set for a showdown in the Big Ten championship game.
The game was tied at halftime, but the second half was all Nittany Lions. Once again, Michigan State’s offensive struggles were front and center.
Michigan State shot just 32 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range. They were also only 50 percent at the foul line. (Read More…)

The Michigan State Spartans were completely embarassed in a 67-47 loss to the Purdue Boilermakers.
Point guard Kalin Lucas lead the Spartans with 23 points, but he had just one assist. That’s an alarmingly low number from your point guard.
It was a shocking rout in front of a soldout crowd at the Breslin Center. The fans really deserved better.
It seemed like right as Michigan State may have been starting to turn the corner, they put together a horrible performance. (Read More…)

The Michigan State Spartans continued their recent struggles in a 71-61 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Point guard Kalin Lucas lead the Spartans with 14 points and three assists but is still not playing up to expectations.
In fact, nobody is playing up to expectations on a Michigan State team that was supposed to be among the favorites to win the national championship.
Head coach Tom Izzo must be beyond exasperated at this point, but the team has had its share of distractions. (Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans star guard Korie Lucious has been dismissed from the basketball team.
Head coach Tom Izzo nor Lucious would give a reason for his dismissal, but it will certainly hurt the team.
However, Lucious was quick to say that he really messed up and let his team, coaches and the fans down.
It must have been something pretty serious or an ongoing issue for Izzo to dismiss him from the team for almost half of the season. (Read More…)

The Michigan State Spartans didn’t know what hit them in a 49-7 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Capital One Bowl.
The Spartans were dominated on both sides of the ball from the outset, falling behind 28-0 by halftime.
They allowed 275 yards and six touchdowns on the ground alone, and almost 500 yards of total offense.
Michigan State only had one turnover, but they also finished with well under 200 yards of total offense. (Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans head coach Tom Izzo was suspended for one game for recruiting violations.
Izzo employed a man at his basketball camp who had strong ties to a player he was recruiting.
It’s considered a secondary infraction, one that normally wouldn’t cause a huge stir, but the NCAA wants to crack down on all violations now.
Izzo said he misinterpreted the rules, which is why he allowed the man to work at his camp. (Read More…)

The Michigan State Spartans hung on late for a 28-22 win over the host Penn State Nittany Lions.
The win over the Nittany Lions gives the Spartans a share of the Big 10 title, but it’s unlikely they receive the BCS berth.
The Spartans jumped out to a commanding 21-3 lead by the end of the third quarter but then had to hold on for the win.
Running back Edwin Baker lead the Spartans with 118 yards rushing and scored their first touchdown of the day. (Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans fans might not have to wait much longer to find out if beloved coach Tom Izzo is headed for greener pastures. ESPN.com reports that a decision from Izzo on whether or not to accept an offer to become the new head coach of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers could come as soon as Monday.
Izzo told his Michigan State players that he’s still undecided. On Thursday, he flew to Cleveland to meet with the Cavs, a meeting that lasted several hours. It was reported that the meeting was more like a recruiting visit for him and his family than anything else. Izzo has been tempted by NBA offers in the past but dismissed them relatively quickly, another sign that he’s taking this offer far more seriously.
