It’s the game everyone in college basketball can’t wait to watch: November 5th. Madison Square Garden. Michigan State vs. Kentucky. Everyone’s preseason favorite (including my own) in the Spartans, versus potentially the No. 2 team in the country in the Wildcats.
But right as we were about to drum up the “Game of the Century” hype for this one, something interesting happened over the weekend: Michigan State actually lost a preseason, closed door scrimmage to Gonzaga. Final score 103-87.
Little college hoops nugget from yesterday: Gonzaga beat projected preseason No. 1 Michigan State 103-87 in a closed scrimmage.
