The Michigan State Spartans’ final conference road game in Ann Arbor on Thursday night did not go quite as well as we had hoped. As a result, the Michigan Wolverines are the 2021 Big Ten Champs and Michigan State is still now quite squarely on the bubble. Fortunately, most pundits still seem to have MSU at least in the “Last Four In” category.
A win on Thursday would have been awesome. It would have very likely iced an NCAA Tournament bid and it possibly would have forced the Wolverines to get a win in East Lansing in order to hang a banner.
