Tom Izzo and Michigan State basketball have to feel good about their 2-0 start to the 2025-26 season, especially since the team hasn’t played to its full potential — not even close.
The Spartans beat No. 14 Arkansas while hitting just one 3-pointer and turning the ball over 14 times. They also beat Colgate while shooting poorly and really letting the Raiders hang around. The team hasn’t played a lot of work to do despite the 2-0 start.
And here’s what I think needs to improve early on.
1. MSU has to figure out the 2-guard spot
While there were some positive developments coming from this spot against Arkansas with the insertion of Jordan Scott into the two-guard role, Michigan State has to figure out who starts there moving forward.
