The last time Michigan State started a season 7-0 was a decade ago. The 2015-16 team started the year 13-0, and it put together one of the best regular seasons in Tom Izzo’s tenure. We won’t talk about what happened in the postseason because I don’t want to ruin anyone’s day, but the Spartans reached the 7-0 mark on Thursday night with a 74-58 win over North Carolina.
Michigan State fought off a couple of North Carolina second-half surges to really put the game away in the final minutes, thanks to some spectacular play from Jeremy Fears Jr.
