If you want a good perspective of the 2021-2022 Michigan State season, take a quick look at a simple bell curve graph. Michigan State began the season unranked, reached its peak about midway through the year, ranked in the top-10 and now the team has seemingly lost its footing since then. A slight spike in the curve came last Saturday in a surprising victory for the Spartans at home versus Purdue, which feels like it occurred months ago.
Unsurprisingly, this year’s Big Ten season has had its fair share of chaos, with with more than half of the teams vying for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
