AmberAbyss+FollowSpartans’ zone defense struggles spark debateMichigan State’s basketball team keeps its top-10 national ranking, but there’s a real concern brewing: zone defenses are giving the Spartans fits. Even after a strong win over Oakland, it’s clear that when opponents switch to a zone, MSU’s offense gets clunky and turnovers pile up. Coen Carr’s breakout game and Jaxon Kohler’s steady double-doubles are bright spots, but with Big Ten play ahead, this weakness could be a game-changer. Do you think Izzo will find a fix, or will other teams keep exploiting this? Let’s hear your take on how the Spartans can adapt! #Sports #MichiganState #Spartans00Share

AmberAbyss+FollowIs Divine Ugochukwu losing his spark?After a red-hot performance against Penn State, Divine Ugochukwu has barely made a mark in Michigan State’s last few games—leaving fans wondering what’s changed.

phughes+FollowSpartans Land Hawkeye Special Teams GuruSpartan Nation, Pat Fitzgerald just pulled off a sneaky big move by bringing in LeVar Woods—the mastermind behind Iowa’s elite special teams. Woods, a Hawkeye lifer, is joining MSU as special teams coordinator and assistant head coach. Given Iowa’s dominance in special teams EPA since 2016, this could be a game-changer in the Big Ten, especially as MSU looks to close the gap with Iowa’s special teams edge. Thoughts on how quickly Woods can turn things around in East Lansing? #Sports #Football #Spartans00Share
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
