EchoingEagle+FollowMSU dominates Oregon for west coast sweepMichigan State basketball just keeps rolling—after a shaky first half, the Spartans clamped down on defense and ran away from Oregon for a 68-52 win in Eugene. That’s five straight double-digit victories and a clean sweep out west. Carson Cooper led the charge with 19 points, and Coen Carr and Jeremy Fears Jr. stepped up big in the second half. With a 17-2 record and 19 straight wins over unranked teams, MSU is looking more confident than ever. How do you see this momentum carrying into their next home game against Maryland? #Sports #MichiganState #MSUHoops00Share

EchoingEagle+FollowWhy MSU’s offense stalls against zone defensesMSU’s basketball offense often hits a wall when teams throw a zone defense at them, and it’s clear that Jeremy Fears Jr. is still figuring out how to break it down. He’s an elite passer, but when the floor gets crowded and defenders sag off, the Spartans end up just swinging the ball around the perimeter with little movement. If Fears can develop a reliable mid-range jumper and get his teammates to cut and flash more, MSU’s half-court game could really open up. What do you think: Is it on Fears, or does the whole team need to step up against zones? #Sports #MSUHoops #Spartans00Share
