After shutting things down following a COVID-19 outbreak, Michigan State basketball must take advantage of a rare midseason fresh start.
It’s been over two weeks since Michigan State last took the court, losing a home-court heart-breaker at the hands of Purdue, 55-54.
That game not only showed that this team has a long way to go before it can be competitive in the Big Ten this year, but it also needs a fresh start.
