The Michigan State Spartans can struggle to put the ball into the basket, but Tom Izzo's squad may still be one of the best in the country

Add Michigan State's Tom Izzo to the long list of coaches who came away impressed by the 2024-25 Wisconsin Badgers after meeting on the court.

It’s the fourth straight win for the Spartans (23-5, 14-3 Big Ten) and third in a row against a ranked team. That lifted them back into a half-game lead over Michigan in the conference standings with three games remaining in the regular season.
