February 26, 2026: Michigan State with the huge upset win at Mackey - their first since 2014 - 76-74. It was a few missed shots - finally by Purdue, and some defensive rebounding which sealed the game despite a missed front end to a one and one by Ward gave Purdue some life with only 3.5 seconds left.

But Carson Cooper, Jeremy Fears, and the whole crew were just too much for Purdue despite the Boilers shooting 48% from 3 on relatively high volume. But it was sort of MSU’s offense that carried in this game and a few timely stops that was just enough. We will go thru the keys to the game in a little bit but let’s just start by saying that not only was this a huge win for the Green and white and the standings in the Big Ten and seeding for the NCAA tournament, but it had to be huge for their psyche going forward into the postseason and a revenge matchup with Michigan to end the regular season.

MSU now moves to 13-4 in the Big Ten and 23-5 overall and into the 3 seed for the BTT and a triple bye. Purdue drops back a game from there.

February 24, 2026: MSU begins a tough road trip into the state of Indiana with its first stop on Thursday at Purdue. Mackey has been a house of horrors for the Spartans where they haven’t won for over 10 years. Admittedly, Purdue usually has had good teams when Michigan State has visited, however, the arena hasn’t been kind to MSU.

This year - specifically this month - neither team has played very well so it is sort of a matchup of struggling teams. Purdue has uncharacteristically dropped 3 games at home leading Spartan fans to have some hope. Unfortunately, the Spartans haven’t played well on the road either. It will certainly take their A game to pull off this upset and finding a way to contain Braden Smith if Michigan State wants to have a good night.

February 22, 2026: Michigan State finished its home stand with a win over a depleted Buckeyes team on Sunday afternoon, 66-60. But it was not an easy win as they struggled shooting from the field and defending the penetration from Bruce Thornton who kept easily getting into the lane to score. In fact, MSU trailed 26-23 at the break and took until mid way through the second half to take back the lead from Ohio State.

OSU was without their second and third leading scorers (Mobley and Royal) yet managed to push the Spartans behind a herculean effort from Thornton of 32 points. Carson Cooper had a good offensive performance of 20 points and Jordan Scott added 12 more to propel Michigan State to the win. It moves the Spartans to 22-5 overall and 12-4 in the league before heading to Purdue and Indiana for their next two games.
