Thursday night’s Michigan State vs Bowling Green game will kick off the 2025-26 season for the Spartans, albeit in exhibition play.
The Spartans will face a familiar face as Tum Tum Nairn is still with Bowling Green as the team’s associate head coach under Todd Simon. And last year, these two guys gave Michigan State all it could handle in non-conference play, nearly pulling off an unthinkable upset at the Breslin Center.
This time around, Michigan State will be ready for all the punches thrown its way.
Tom Izzo will be able to use the 2024 matchup between Michigan State and Bowling Green as a warning to the Spartans to not overlook the Falcons.
