It’s February. And that means that the college basketball season is now closer to the end than the beginning. For our Michigan State Spartans, ten regular season games remain before we head into the Big Ten tournament and then March Madness. At the moment, MSU has a 5-5 record in conference play, which puts them in a four-way tie for fifth place with Nebraska, Indiana, and Maryland (Nebraska is hosting Wisconsin as this is being written). The top four spots in the Big Ten will earn the advantageous double-bye in the BTT; those spots currently belong to Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, and Northwestern.
