Michigan State basketball has pulled off a big climb this season, landing at No. 9 in the final Coaches Poll of 2025. That’s a huge leap from where they started and shows just how much this team has grown. But the real test is about to begin: Big Ten play kicks off right after the new year, with tough matchups against Nebraska and USC on deck. With Michigan, Purdue, and several other Big Ten teams also ranked, it’s shaping up to be a wild conference race. How do you see the Spartans holding up against this stacked competition? #Sports #MichiganState #Spartans
