Not even a week ago, not many expected much out of Michigan State over the final two weeks of the regular season.
The Spartans were mired near the bottom of the Big Ten standings and weren’t even in the bubble discussion when it came to the NCAA Tournament. Add in the fact they were getting set to play six games in the final 13 games of the season with four of those games coming against top-five teams in the nation, and it would have been hard to find someone who believed there was life left in Michigan State’s season.
