East Lansing — By the end of the weekend, Michigan State might be the No. 1 ranked team in the country. By the end of the afternoon Saturday, the Spartans were 9-0 after knocking off Binghamton University 76-33 at the Breslin Center.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo acknowledged the possibility, but said that there was still work for his team to do.
"I know we're not the best team in the country right now in my mind," Izzo said. "Unless a lot of other teams are playing a little sloppy like we do at times. Somebody's got to be it.
