Bracketology Update: UM Still Overall #1, MSU 3 Seed
December 11, 2025: It’s our last week with just the top 4 seed lines and there hasn't been a whole lot of movement at the top. Michigan is still the overall number one seed while Iowa State and Purdue switched their two and one seeds respectively after the Cyclones went into Mackey Arena and blitzed the Boilers. Their victory was enough to push the Big 12 above the Big 10 in the power standings. We’re getting close to the first full bracket reveal next week. Bracket Dom is putting together his list and checking to see who’s been naughty and nice. Will your team be in the field?

Michigan State Returns to Big Ten Play at Penn State
December 10, 2025: Michigan State dropped it’s first game of the season to top ranked Duke last Saturday and is looking to get back to its winning ways as it returns to Big Ten play Saturday in Happy Valley. There is probably no better matchup to wash away your woes then the Nittany Lions who - despite their 8-2 record - are struggling this season. Penn State is coming off a 41 point loss to the Hoosiers in Bloomington and now they have to face the Spartans. Penn State is statistically not a very good defense which was on full exhibition against Indiana Tuesday night. Michigan State will look to exploit the Lions and see if they can get back on the horse before finishing up their non-conference schedule.

MSU Falls to Duke 66-60 in Top 10 Matchup
December 6, 2025: Michigan State dropped it’s first game of the season to top ranked Duke 66-60 in front of an electric crowd at the Breslin Center. As expected, it was a defensive showcase and the top 10 defenses limited the other in their shooting. In the end, Duke made just a few more plays and shots and forced the action enough in the second half to get to the free throw line which was the difference in the final score. Despite the loss, MSU finishes the difficult part of the first half of their season 8-1 with wins over Kentucky, Arkansas, and North Carolina and a 1-0 start to the Big Ten season. Carson Cooper’s individual performance was impressive as he finished with 15 points and a career high16 rebounds while guarding Duke’s best player, Cameron Boozer. Meanwhile, despite his shooting woes, Jeremy Fears logged 13 assists to just 1 turnover to lead the Spartans. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

Bracketology Update: UM New Overall #1 Seed, MSU Moves Up to 2 Seed
December 5, 2025: A lot of movement in the seed list since we last had a show. The new number one overall seed is Michigan who joins Duke, Arizona, and Purdue on the one line. Two seeds are Michigan State, Iowa State, Vanderbilt, and UConn. BYU, Alabama, Houston, and Gonzaga are the 3s with Kansas, UNC, Louisville, and Tennessee rounding things out at the 4. The conference rankings are just about set. Dom has the Big Ten leading the way over the Big 12, SEC, ACC, and then Big East. However, if one just used NET rankings the SEC might be the most consistently deep leagues just without any teams at the top.

Top 10 Matchup in East Lansing - #4 Duke vs. #7 Michigan State
December 4, 2025: One of the most anticipated home games of the season for Michigan State is finally here - Duke. And the game is turning out to be even bigger than most expected as both teams enter the game undefeated and ranked in the top ten. Duke arrives with national player of the year front runner, Cameron Boozer, who has been tearing teams apart in just about every aspect of the game. Of course, Michigan State is not slouch either as they will see if their elite offensive rebounding and home court advantage is enough to topple the Blue Devils. Duke is 2-0 in the Breslin in Tom Izzo’s tenure and he is certainly looking to turn that around if possible. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?
