Michigan State basketball's 2026-27 season got off to a nice start on Monday. Now it has to show it can progress and trend upward.
The sixth-ranked Spartans shellacked Quinnipiac 96-59 in their season opener to start 1-0. That's the result MSU is supposed to put out against a physically outmatched, low-major opponent. Not a ton really changes in terms of the mission against Toledo (0-1). Tip-off on Thursday is set for 8 p.m. ET on Peacock. Let's dig into this matchup and make a prediction.
