With the start of college basketball season coming in early November, we’ll be taking a long look at the conference at large as well as Indiana’s roster over the next month. Today, our team previews continue with a look at Michigan State.
By Michigan State standards, last season was a disappointment in East Lansing. The Spartans finished just 15-13 overall and outside of the top 50 in the KenPom ratings for the first time ever.
Still, Michigan State surged late and made the NCAA tournament for the 23rd straight time under Tom Izzo. The Spartans fell to eventual Final Four participant UCLA in a First Four game in West Lafayette.
