Well-rounded, efficient scoring attack leads MSU to 41-point victory

Graduate guard Theryn Hallock sprinted out on the fast break three possessions in a row, and junior guard Kennedy Blair threw the ball ahead to her right in stride every time. All three passes turned into points at the other end, and the third attempt ended in an and-1, leaving Hallock scowling at the defender on her hip. After missing all but seven games of the 2025 season with a foot injury, Hallock craved an 18-point night on near-perfect efficiency from the field. It was the first time she looked like her former self, bringing back her fervor and fierceness. " I had surgery over the summer, so it was like, am I gonna get my groove back? And I think this game really let me branch out and get that ," Hallock said. " I gave that guard a little look because I want to show them that I'm the physical Theryn Hallock back out there ." Hallock's revival waswelcome, and 11 Spartans helped secure the 91-50 win over in-state Oakland. Five players reached double figures, and Michigan State women's basketball's diverse scoring approach proved to be incredibly efficient, scoring on 58.3% of possessions.

My Brother Died Because No One Could Stop a Super Speeder. Now We Can.

On Sunday, November 15, families like mine will gather in more than 75 communities nationwide for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. In Michigan — where my brother, Paul Sonkin, lost his life— we’ll stand on the steps of the State Capitol in Lansing for the first time. We’ll honor the people we’ve lost. And this year, we’ll bring something that’s been missing for most of my life: a concrete, bipartisan fix for the drivers who frighten us most, and proof that our speeding epidemic is spreading.

Washington Football Facing Must-Win Game With Trip to Michigan State

Ahead of their first trip to East Lansing as members of the Big Ten, Washington will face some serious pressure to come out on top over the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. A win for the Huskies doesn't exactly tip the scales on what has been a disappointing season, but suffering their fifth loss of the season to a team with just one win in conference play could prove to have a major impact on the future of the program. Before taking a snap, Jedd Fisch's program entered the season as the No. 17-ranked team in the country in the preseason AP Poll. With College Football Playoff aspirations from those both within and outside the building, those hopes quickly drifted away. After narrowly escaping their first two games, including a 16-14 win over Utah State in Week Two, the Huskies dropped out of the top 25 and haven't been back since. Since beginning conference play, UW has lost four of six, three of which were at home. To fall short of expectations is one thing, but the fashion in which Washington has done it is concerning. The offense, led by second-year starter Demond Williams Jr. and an offensive line that once

KenPom has MSU basketball favored in all but one game for rest of the season

Could Michigan State basketball go undefeated this season? That's probably not happening, but one popular analytics system has them favored in nearly every game from this point. Michigan State basketball picked up a statement win over No. 2 Duke on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic. That notable win over the Blue Devils has some fans and media wondering how far this team might go this season. That includes Jacob Cotsonika of SI, who reported an interesting detail following the victory over Duke. According to Cotsonika, Michigan State is projected as the favorite for all but one of its remaining games in the popular KenPom system. The lone game Michigan State is not favored to win is a road game at Illinois in early February. Cotsonika pointed out in a X social media post that Michigan State has a more realistic projected record of 26-6 (15-5 Big Ten). Even that record would likely be good enough for the Spartans to land a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in March. Check out the interesting nugget from Cotsonika on KenPom's projections for the Spartans this year in the embedded social media post below: KenPom has Michigan State as the underdog
