We are just a week into the MSU basketball season, and only two games down, so obviously it is hard to draw any conclusions from such a small sample size. Still it is worth taking a look at the first two games to see if anything sticks out. The Spartans played the number one team in the country, and then a lesser opponent in more of a tune up type game.
The Spartans play two more lower-tier teams this week, both sub-200 level in the Kenpom rankings, before things pick up big time. After that they have five straight games against either top level non-conference or solid conference foes.
