Michigan State women’s basketball knocks off Cal

MSU improves to 7-0 with win over Cal

Michigan State women’s basketball has made the trip out to Palm Springs, California, to take part in the Acrisure Classic. In the first round, a semifinal round, the Spartans took on the Golden Bears from Cal.

Overcoming a 16-point second half deficit, the Spartans were able to knock off Cal, 78-72, moving on to the championship tomorrow.

Four Spartans finished in double figures, with the team being led by Julia Ayrault’s 22 points. Theryn Hallock (15 points), Grace Vanslooten (13 points) and Nyla Hampton (10 points) all aided the Spartans in a victorious effort.

Michigan State will be back in action tomorrow, at 1:30 p.m. on Tru TV, against the winner of the game between Vanderbilt and Arizona.

Former MSU basketball C Mady Sissoko commits to Cal

Mady Sissoko has his new home

After four years with the Michigan State program, Mady Sissoko will be transferring, using his fifth year of eligibility somewhere other than East Lansing.

Tom Izzo mentioned that Sissoko was leaving on good terms, similar to Foster Loyer, and the MSU head man was helping Sissoko find the best destination for him. Now, that destination has been found.

Sissoko has made the decision to commit to Cal, joining a massive transfer haul in Berkley that is highlighted by Rytis Petraitis and Andrej Stojakovic.
