The Spartans lost to Nebraska to go 0-2 in the Big Ten and fall below .500 for the season. The shooting touch seemed to return for the Spartans, and Jaden Akins and AJ Hoggard actually played pretty well. Still, the team as a whole could not find a defensive stop when it mattered and let the game slip away in the closing minutes. A trend that is becoming all too worrying this year.
Here are my three points on the loss that you should know:
POINT 1: If it’s not time to panic, then it’s unclear what we should be doing - and it seems like Izzo isn’t any clearer either
Against Nebraska, Michigan State did almost everything that they have failed to do for so much of this season.
