After a three game stretch that saw Michigan State play really shaky basketball, the Spartans got some much needed time off last week.  MSU played just one game and it dominated Indiana in a 85-57 win.  The Spartans looked like the championship contender most believe they are against the Hoosiers.

It is a weird schedule for Michigan State.  After playing just one game last week, they have three upcoming this week.  Michigan travels to Champaign to take on Illinois on Monday.  After that it is a Friday night contest at home against Wisconsin followed by a trip to Maryland Sunday night.  The adjusted Big Ten schedule is doing the Spartans no favors this week.
