Michigan State sees healthy jump in AP Top 25 after win over No. 14 Arkansas

Tom Izzo and Michigan State basketball are already making some moves after just one week of action thanks to a win over No. 14 Arkansas at the Breslin Center.

The Spartans played two games during the opening week of college basketball and they sit at 2-0 after beating John Calipari’s team as well as Colgate. It wasn’t the prettiest opening week of play in Izzo’s coaching career, but he’s also coaching essentially a brand-new roster.

The only returning pieces that had a solid role on the 2024-25 Big Ten title squad are Jeremy Fears Jr.
