📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Mr. Milestone. On the doorstep of win No. 700 with Michigan State, how about a throwback to Tom Izzo’s 100th win?

On Jan. 11, 2000, the Spartans pulled out a 77-71 overtime win against Bobby Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers!

And you know what happened later that season — Michigan State beat Florida, 89-76, to win a national championship!

🔼 Boiling Over. Michigan State women’s basketball is back inside the Breslin Center tonight, with Purdue in town for a 6:30 p.m. tip.

The Boilermakers are right at the .500 mark at 9-9 overall on the season, and 2-5 in Big Ten play.

🔼 Hall Of Famer. One of Michigan State football’s greats was recently honored as such — former Spartan Domata Peko was inducted into the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame over the weekend!

🔼 Stick Tap. Congratulations to Michigan State hockey’s Nicolas Müller — the Big Ten’s Third Star of the Week!

Müller put together a five-point weekend against No. 15/14 Michigan, including a two-goal, two-assist game in the Spartans’ Saturday win.
