Okay, so this is where the season becomes interesting. Of the Spartans next five games, four are against ranked opponents and the tilt against the unranked foe will be played in Wisconsin. I am curious to see if the Spartans dig themselves into a hole or begin to climb the hill this week. Many of the players have had good games but seldom has more than one or two of them had a good game at the same time. It will take more than flashes of good play to beat any of the upper tier teams in the Big Ten and I think this team has a gear we haven’t seen yet. Dump the clutch, fellas. Let’s go.

In a very close game, there was a clear winner… at least individually. DeShaun Thomas took the game and made it his own. Thomas had 28 points on 10-20 shooting, and at times, it seemed as if he was incapable of missing. Going 6-11 downtown, DeShaun truly put on a show for the national TV audience.

Winning on the road in the Big Ten conference isn’t easy. Winning on the road in East Lansing is even more difficult. The Buckeyes nearly did it on the back of Deshaun Thomas, who continued his march as the Big Ten’s best scorer with a 28 point masterpiece. However, Thomas didn’t get the shots in the final possessions for the Buckeyes, and Shannon Scott had an absolute brain...

The first half of this game was a whirlwind. The Spartans couldn’t have started off much better after jumping out to a 10-0 lead, but then went cold and found themselves quickly down 15-13 after only just a few of Deshaun Thomas’ many three-pointers. Ohio State and Michigan State traded blows for the remainder...
