It hasn’t been clinched just yet, but Michigan State is closing in on Big Ten title No. 11 under Tom Izzo. The Spartans inched closer to that achievement last week, posting impressive wins over Maryland and Wisconsin … which may have also included a little bit of luck.
The Spartans also got some help in their Big Ten title pursuit from Illinois, which blew out Michigan on Sunday, handing the Wolverines their fourth loss of the year. It makes the final week of the season incredibly interesting, especially with Michigan and Michigan State scheduled to play in the regular season finale on Sunday.
But Michigan State’s pursuit of another conference title isn’t the only storyline. Purdue, Maryland, Wisconsin and UCLA continue to battle for a top-four seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Indiana, Nebraska and Ohio State are still playing for a spot in the NCAA Tournament. There’s a lot at stake in the final week of the season.
