📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Two At Home. Hoops fans, you’ve got two opportunities to see Michigan State men’s basketball inside the Breslin Center this weekend!

On Sunday, Michigan State hosts Alcorn State as part of the Acrisure Classic.

🔼 Get That Trophy Back. The Old Brass Spittoon is on the line this weekend as Michigan State football travels to Bloomington to take on Indiana! Get ready for game day with us:

🎙 WEEKLY PRESS CONFERENCE: Harlon Barnett — Indiana Week

🔼 Uncharted Territory. For the first time in program history, Michigan State women’s soccer is headed to the NCAA Third Round!

The No. 5 seed Spartans took down No. 4 seed Harvard 1-0 on Thursday night in Provo, Utah thanks to a second-half penalty kick from Justina Gaynor.

Michigan State will now face No. 1 seed BYU tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET.

🔼 Efficient Is An Understatement. Get ready, because this is not a typo — Michigan State women’s basketball shot 70.9% from the field on Thursday night against Detroit Mercy, winning 105-44 and setting a program record for field goal percentage in the process!

The Badgers are 9-1-0 this season and 4-0-0 in Big Ten play, with sweeps of then-No. 1 Minnesota and then-No. 4 Michigan, as well as two ranked wins over Michigan Tech.

🔼 Road Warriors. Sitting at 8-8 and right in the middle of the Big Ten standings, Michigan State volleyball heads out onto the road this weekend for matches at Penn State (11-5 B1G) on Friday and Rutgers (2-14 B1G) on Saturday.

The Spartans already claim wins over both the Nittany Lions and Scarlet Knights this year, both of those wins coming at home.

The trip to New York is the team’s only competition in the next two weeks, taking the weekend of Thanksgiving off before returning against Franklin & Marshall and Bloomsburg on Dec. 3.

💚 THIS IS SPARTA MSU SHOW

This Is Sparta MSU #130. Miss last night’s show live? No problem, we’ve got you!

The guys chatted about men’s basketball’s loss to Duke in the Champions Classic, gave updates on women’s soccer and men’s hockey, and previewed tomorrow’s football game against Indiana!
