The MSU basketball team started off 2019 with a convincing home win over Northwestern Wednesday night as they re-entered the conference portion of the schedule. It’s all Big Ten from here on out for the Spartans until the NCAA Tournament.
It will be tough sledding for the Spartans this conference season, with the Big Ten looking very strong and deeper than it has been in years. Of the 17 remaining games on the schedule, 13 of them are ranked as tier A games on kenpom and two more are tier B games.
Luckily for MSU, the Spartans are playing their best basketball heading into conference play, having dispatched their last three opponents all by 20+ points.
