📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Introducing Coach Smith! Did you miss new Michigan State head football coach Jonathan Smith’s introductory press conference yesterday?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

🔼 Locked It Down. Michigan State men’s basketball allowed just 11 points (yes, only 11 points!) in the first half against Georgia Southern on Tuesday night, winning 86-55.

The offense was as balanced as the defense was stingy, with five players scoring in double figures — Jaden Akins (14 points), Tyson Walker (13), A.J. Hoggard (12), Malik Hall (11) and Mady Sissoko (10).

🔼 All-Conference Defenders. Michigan State football had several All-Big Ten defensive selections on Tuesday — congratulations to Simeon Barrow, Aaron Brule, Ryan Eckley, Cal Haladay, Jonathan Kim and Jaden Mangham!
