MSU jumps to No. 11 in AP Poll before Fort Myers Tip-Off
After taking down No. 12 Kentucky in the Champions Classic and Detroit Mercy last week, MSU climbed six spots to No. 11 in this week’s Associated Press Poll. On Tuesday and Thursday, the Spartans will face East Carolina and No. 16 North Carolina in the Fort Myers Tip-Off, an eight-team tournament running from November 24 to 27. MSU will face ECU on Tuesday, Nov. 25, at 1 p.m. and North Carolina on Thanksgiving Day at 4:30 p.m., with both games being broadcast on Fox Sports. “We’re still not consistent enough for me,” head coach Tom Izzo said after taking down Detroit Mercy on Friday night. Now, MSU faces a pair of games that provide an opportunity to improve on a lot of the shortcomings of the first three weeks.
Men’s soccer falls short and faces big roster decisions this offseason
Michigan State men’s soccer saw its season come to a close against the No. 1 team in the country, Maryland, in a 4-3 defeat. The rollercoaster that was their season gave the team and fans incredible highs and some disappointing lows.

MSU collected just two wins in conference play — but those ended up being their most significant victories of the season.

This is the reality for Michigan State’s football program: defeat after defeat, all of which has fueled speculation and raised the question everyone is asking — will this be Jonathan Smith’s final game as MSU’s head coach? It’s a question that nobody seems to know, not even Smith himself. “In this landscape of college football, that’s always a solid question,” Smith said when asked how confident he is that he and his staff will return to MSU next year. “College coaching nowadays, it’s a week-to-week thing. I’m still really confident in the people that are in the building right now.” Following this statement, Smith said that nothing has been communicated to him from MSU leadership about his future.
