Spartans Kick Off Season with Exhibition Thrills | Michigan State Spartans Basketball News

Michigan State basketball kicks off its 32nd season under Tom Izzo with a wild twist: an exhibition showdown against Incarnate Word, open only to the Izzone and season ticket holders. But the real action’s just beginning — they’ll also face Marquette twice this year, including a pre-season clash in 2027, and tackle powerhouse non-conference foes like Duke, Gonzaga, and Tennessee. With key transfers, four elite freshmen, and star point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. returning, the Spartans are primed for a deep tournament run — some even projecting them as a No. 2 seed. This is going to be one heck of a season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
