Even though the Michigan State Spartan football team has been having a bit of a down year (okay, more than a bit), yesterday marked the official start of the Men’s NCAA Basketball season and had the Spartans (#12) facing off against the Wildcats of the University of Arizona (#10). Unf0rtunately, the Spartans fell to the Wildcats (by two points). Alas.
The Spartans have a brutal non-conference schedule which includes possible games against other ranked opponents (Kentucky, Louisville, and Duke), and that’s just in November.
And, we have already had a couple of upsets in college basketball: UConn (#18) losing to unranked Wagner and Kansas (#3) losing to Indiana (#11). The Madness has begun and it’s not even March yet! It is going to be a great basketball season.
Go Green!
