Michigan State Basketball remains at No. 9 in the final AP Poll of the season

Michigan State basketball closes out this season at the No. 9 spot in the final AP Poll. Read some more details about this ranking here.

[jwplayer VePIeMDQ-PROpJzTY]

Michigan State basketball closes out this season at the No. 9 spot in the last AP Poll of the season. Remember, last week the Spartans finally jumped back into the top 10. This came after a rather impressive run to end the regular season, including victories over Maryland, Iowa, & Ohio State on senior day. Note, this is the third straight year in which MSU basketball closed out the season in the top 10.

Michigan State basketball moved all over the AP Poll this year. In February, the Spartans completely dropped out of the AP Poll Top-25 during a rough stretch. MSU also spent a lot of time in the No. 16 spot this year as well. Obviously, this all comes after the Spartans opened this season at the No. 1 spot for the first time ever.
