Couch: Izzo’s latest roster is ‘perfect’ for him – for it’s possibilities and how it’s constructed

It’s been an eventful week for Michigan State basketball

It’s been an eventful week for Michigan State basketball.

The Spartans got some great news with both Tyson Walker and Malik Hall announcing they’d be returning for another season at Michigan State. That essentially locks down the Spartans roster for the 2023-24 season — which should put Michigan State in the top 10 of next year’s preseason polls.

Click on the tweet below to read Graham Couch’s latest column on Michigan State basketball and the roster Tom Izzo has constructed that appears to be the perfect blend:

For Tom Izzo, Michigan State's roster next season – as it stands – is a middle finger to those who think his style doesn't play anymore, that kids don't recognize loyalty or want to compete and that relationships can't still win the day.

LSJ’s Graham Couch provides thoughts on impact of Malik Hall returning to MSU for 2023-24 season

See what Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal thinks about Malik Hall returning to MSU for another season

For a second straight day, Michigan State basketball received great news relating to their roster structure for the 2023-24 season.

Tyson Walker announced he was returning for another year at Michigan State on Monday. On Tuesday, Malik Hall followed suit. Hall battled injuries throughout this past season, but still appeared in 23 games and averaged 8.9 and 4.3 rebounds off the bench.

With both Walker and Hall announcing their return to Michigan State for next season, the Spartans are expected to be a true Big Ten title and national championship contenders in 2023-24.

Michigan State basketball got some great news on Monday.

Star guard Tyson Walker announced he will be returning for one more year at Michigan State, creating arguably the best court in the country when paired up with A.J. Hoggard and Jaden Akins. This past season, Walker led the Spartans in scoring with 14.8 points per game and at times took over games to lead Michigan State to a victory.

Couch: Analyzing next season’s Michigan State basketball roster

Michigan State basketball could be very good next year depending on how some key roster decisions pan out

Michigan State basketball could be very good next year depending on how key roster decisions pan out.

The Spartans enter the offseason as one of the favorites to win the Big Ten next season, and they could be the stand-alone favorite if Tyson Walker and Malik Hall return. There also would be a trickle-down effect should those two return for another season in the green-and-white in 2023-24.

So how does Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal envision the Spartans’ roster looking next season? Click on the tweet below to read Couch’s analysis on what the Spartans’ 2023-24 roster could look like:

Here's an analysis of next season's Michigan State basketball roster – projecting roles, who might return and what that would mean for other players, the freshmen, and the battle at center.

NCAA Tournament: Matchup analysis, game prediction for MSU-Marquette from LSJ’s Graham Couch

See how LSJ’s Graham Couch envisions Michigan State’s game against Marquette at the NCAA Tournament playing out on Sunday

Michigan State basketball will be playing for a trip to the Sweet 16 on Sunday.

The Spartans knocked off USC on Friday to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Waiting for the Spartans is No. 2 seed Marquette, who made easy work of No. 15 seed Vermont in their first round matchup.

Michigan State last reached the Sweet 16 in 2019, and has only reached the second weekend of the tournament one time in their last seven appearances. Can the Spartans break that streak and reach the Sweet 16 with a victory over the Golden Eagles?

Big Ten Tournament: Matchup analysis, game prediction for MSU-Ohio State from LSJ’s Graham Couch

Let’s run it back!

For a second time in less than a week, Michigan State basketball will take on Ohio State — this time in a quarterfinals matchup in the Big Ten Tournament from the United Center in Chicago.

The Spartans swept the season series of the Buckeyes, including a narrow victory last week on Senior Day. But Ohio State overall is playing better down the stretch, with wins in four of their last five games — including two wins already in the Big Ten Tournament over Wisconsin and Iowa.

Matchup analysis, game prediction for MSU-Ohio State from LSJ’s Graham Couch

See how LSJ’s Graham Couch envisions Michigan State’s game against Ohio State playing out on Saturday

It’s Senior Day at Michigan State on Saturday afternoon.

The Spartans will welcome the Buckeyes to the Breslin Center looking to finish the regular season strong with a season-sweep of Ohio State. Michigan State topped the Buckeyes earlier this year by more than 20 points in Columbus.

Michigan State comes into this tilt after a massive comeback victory at Nebraska on Tuesday. That win over the Cornhuskers should have clinched a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the Spartans, but a win over Ohio State would only improve their resume.

Ohio State is also coming into this game on a high note after winning their past two games against Illinois and Maryland (both of which were at home). Prior to those two wins, the Buckeyes had lost 14 of their last 15 games.

Here's a look at Michigan State's home finale Saturday against Ohio State – including matchup analysis, how to watch and listen, the betting line and my prediction. https://t.co/Hoxj8vBwu6
