So far, the numbers would indicate that MSU has been successful in pushing the ball more on offense this year. And we know from actually watching the games that Kalin Lucas takes every opportunity to see if a basket can be generated in transition. MSU has gone from finishing 6th in the conference in adjusted tempo last season to being just 0.2 p

That's according to the latest official team roster, released today by MSU. Winston, you'll remember, did not dress for the Michigan, Wisconsin or Purdue games before returning for the Penn State game. That was apparently a suspension -- not that anyone at MSU would actually tell us that.

I promise, promise, promise that my answer to this question was the same on Saturday morning as it is today: Michigan State. It’s just a lot easier to write it following the win over Texas. But for the first time in a decade, this question requires some pause because of the rapidly improving Michigan Wolverines.

With Saturday’s big win against Texas came a big bonus for the Spartans-a leap from #18 to #11 in the latest Associated Press poll. Entering the Top 25 for the first time this season are Minnesota (#23) and Michigan (#24). The latest ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll is less enthusiastic-Michigan State moved up to #18 from #22.

Stopping Penn State's fast-break faucet and shutting off their own turnover valve allowed Michigan State's women to open the Big Ten season with a finish reminiscent to some of their come-from-behind victories last season. After giving Penn State the ball 20 times and trailing by eight after the first 30-plus minutes Sunday, the Spartans committ

The expectations placed on Georgia entering the season couldn't have been higher. The Bulldogs didn't come close to meeting them. The preseason No. 1 team in the country isn't playing for a national title and couldn't even make a BCS bowl game, so escaping with a 10-win season by beating Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl on New Year's Da

Many Tom Izzo sentences over the years have included both "Goran Suton" and "toughness." Most of them referred to Suton's lack of Izzo's favorite trait. Not this one. "I've always questioned his toughness a little bit," Izzo said of Suton after Michigan State's 67-63 comeback win over Texas here Saturday, "and this kid reached down and

Goran Suton had several moments of exhaustion Saturday against Texas, but none that involved knee pain during a 67-63 win. That's good news for the senior more than two weeks after arthroscopic knee surgery that forced him to miss six straight games. "It was hard," said Suton of playing 26 minutes. "At times I just told myself, 'Suck it up, s

For all of his years coaching, even Joe Paterno hasn’t been involved in a game like this. No. 7 Penn State will play a veritable Big Ten championship game Saturday, when No. 17 Michigan State visits Happy Valley. Win, and the Nittany Lions clinch a spot at the Rose Bowl. If the Spartans (9-2, 6-1) win, they’ll still need Ohio State to be upset by
