Michigan State Basketball entered the season underrated by many as they lost stalwart veterans Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman to the NBA Draft. The Spartans did creep their way up the AP Poll on Monday to No. 8, but another college basketball analyst has a different take.
Andy Katz of NCAA.com puts out his Power 36 rankings every week, and this week he has MSU ranked all the way up at No. 4 overall. Here is his full top ten:
1. Gonzaga
2. Baylor
3. Iowa
4. Michigan State
5. Illinois
6. Wisconsin
7. Villanova
8. Kansas
9. Richmond
10. Duke
As you can see, Duke is behind MSU in this ranking. The two teams will face off on Tuesday.
