Sorry these are coming so late, but better late than never on conference previews, I suppose. This week, we have our four last teams to preview, and they should be ones who have the best chance of stopping Indiana in its quest to repeat for a Big Ten title this season: Michigan State, Purdue, Maryland, and Wisconsin.
MICHIGAN STATE
Key Newcomer: Miles Bridges, Josh Langford, Cassius Winston, Nick Ward
Key Departure: Denzel Valentine, Bryn Forbes, Matt Costello
Michigan State at Indiana, January 21
Last season, Michigan State had an uncharacteristic finish to an otherwise productive year in which they won the Big Ten tournament and had the conference Player of the Year in Denzel Valentine.
