5 reasons Michigan State basketball is still No. 1 without Josh Langford

For the second straight season, Michigan State basketball received some unfortunate news regarding star wing Josh Langford.

Just last last season, Langford has been ruled out indefinitely with a re-evaluation coming in January and it was news that made Tom Izzo tear up when addressing the media. He didn’t like the fact that he had to tell one of his captains that he couldn’t play until at least January and his future looks grim in the green and white.

The day before the injury news was revealed, Michigan State was ranked the No. 1 team in the nation and many believe it was premature as the news came out shortly after.
