It’s no secret that the Michigan State Spartans men’s basketball team has not gotten off to the start in Big Ten Conference play that many fans expected. After beginning the 2020-2021 season with a 6-0 record, Michigan State then lost each of its first three conference games before finally defeating Nebraska this past weekend.
As such, the hot takes on Twitter and in the comments section of various articles have been, well, as if the sky was falling. I get it — I did not anticipate the Spartans to get off to an 0-3 start in the Big Ten, either, and the struggles on both offense and defense have been worrisome to say the least.
