On this week’s episode of Behind the Mask, Jason and Andrew kick off 2018 a bit better the Michigan State did. We recap the four straight loses the Spartans endured last week and we also break down what positives they can take away from their longest losing streak of the season.

Later we discuss the rebuild and why Danton Cole’s not upset or concerned about the losses and neither should fans. It’s all going to work out folks, #TrustTheProcess.

But that begs the question, what are realistic goals for this team in the 2nd half of the season now that they have come down to Earth? Our panel gives their thoughts.

We take a look at the Big Ten standings, and comment on some surprising stats within the conference. And finally, Jason and Andrew preview this week’s upcoming opponent, the Wisconsin Badgers, and give their predictions.

All that and more on Behind the Mask!
