The Numbers Behind MSU’s 0-6-0 Record in Big Ten Play

On 26 November the Spartans left Grand Forks, North Dakota with a win and a tie against a strong North Dakota squad.

This weekend could have been a turning point for an MSU team in desperate need of momentum heading into Big Ten play after a lethargic non-conference performance. Since then, MSU is 0-6-0 with only one loss coming by a goal (a 5-4 loss to Michigan in OT at the Great Lakes Invitational).

The 0-for record is obviously alarming. But the play that has contributed to this record is even more alarming.
