We are just one week into the Michigan State basketball season, but the Spartans are already receiving their fair share of disrespect.
Michigan State snuck by a pesky Colgate team in the season opener, 80-69, before taking down the No. 14 team in the country on Saturday night to improve to 2-0 on the season. It felt like a positive opening week of play, and Michigan State improved relatively drastically from its first game to its second, leading to that top-15 win.
As one of the only teams in the country with a ranked win, Michigan State is likely to move up the AP Top 25 this week, but another popular rankings system doesn’t think so.
