March 5, 2026: This was MSU’s final home game, senior day, and this game looked eerily similar to the game played in New Jersey last month. Some differences obviously as MSU led at the half, 31-30 and blitzed out to a 19 point lead with 6 minutes left. But they had a lot of trouble with turnovers - some forced, others not so much.
And Rutgers hit a lot of 3s. And the game in the second half started going the way you’d expect for MSU as they started to pull away. Jeremy Fears picked up his third foul and then got T’d up for pointing to the scoreboard to land his 4th foul. That put Denham Wojcik into extended minutes which I think he handled pretty well. His defense was passable most of the time and the offense - despite some turnovers that were not of his making - ran OK.
But then things started to get weird. Izzo substituted his seniors in - Wojcik, Fort, Sanders for a triumphant end of the game kissing center court. But Rutgers, unlike UM last year, decided to disrupt the ceremony legitimately by playing the clock, hitting 3s, and pressing. They got the game down to some real game pressure but Fears hit two free throws with 2.5 seconds left to ice the game at 4 and leave Rutgers no chance to win.
