Mel Tucker’s post-game comments after huge win over rival Michigan

Check out Mel Tucker’s post-game comments after beating Michigan

Mel Tucker has become the first coach in Michigan State history to win his first two games against in-state rival Michigan. It was a massive win for the Spartans to improve to 8-0 and position themselves to compete for a Big Ten title in the month of November.

Michigan State overcame a 16-point deficit in the game, at one point trailing 30-14 late in the third quarter, and ended the game on a 23-3 run, taking home the win 37-33.

An emotional win for the Michigan State football program, and a statement win for Mel Tucker’s tenure at the helm in East Lansing.

Check out what Mel Tucker had to say after his huge win over the University of Michigan:

Michigan State football comes back from down 16, beats rival Michigan, 37-33

V4MSU!! Michigan State downs Michigan to improve to 8-0

Michigan State football is victorious over Michigan once again, downing the Wolverines 37-33. Michigan State overcame a 30-16 deficit late in the third quarter to win a huge game to improve to 8-0 on the football season.

Michigan State went into halftime trailing 23-14, but was able to feel somewhat secure knowing that they had forced Michigan to three field goals in the first half.

The Spartans gave up a touchdown to go down 30-14, but the Spartans made sure to not fear the deficit, and made a roaring comeback when they scored two touchdowns with two 2pt conversions.

Michigan would counter with a  field goal, going up 33-30, and the Spartans would make sure to come marching right down the field to score once again, going up 37-33.

Michigan 5-star freshman quarterback JJ McCarthy made a pivotal mistake, fumbling an exchange with Blake Corum that the Spartans recovered, setting up the touchdown.

Kenneth Walker finished the game carrying the ball 23 for 197 yards and 5 touchdowns, leading the game.

Michigan State is in a heated rivalry matchup with Michigan at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.

Kenneth Walker is having a huge day so far in this game, already having three touchdowns so far.

With MSU down 30-22 early in the fourth  quarter, Kenneth Walker is putting the Michigan State team on his back and took this game back into Michigan State control.

Michigan State will look to take over this game in the fourth quarter and hopefully improve to 8-0 on the 2021 season.

A pair of 5-stars to visit Michigan State football this weekend

MSU will have two 2022 5-stars on campus this weekend:

Michigan State is set to have one of the biggest recruiting weekends in recent history. It is most certainly going to be the biggest recruiting weekend of the Mel Tucker era.

The Spartans coaching staff is set to host a plethora of 4 star recruits, but the weekend is going to be headlined by two star players, a pair of 5-stars.

Harold Perkins and Kiyaunta Goodwin are the two five-stars that will be in attendance this weekend.

Perkins is a linebacker from Cypress, Texas. He is ranked the No. 5 overall player in the country according to 247Sports. Texas A&M, Texas and LSU are the main competition for Perkins. He will be visiting unofficially.

Goodwin is Charlestown, Indiana native that is currently a Kentucky commit. He has been in contact with the Spartans for a good bit. He is ranked the No. 12 overall player according to 247Sports. Alabama, Michigan and Ohio State are all in the mix to flip Goodwin.

3 Key Takeaways: Michigan State Basketball loses to Michigan at Crisler Center

Michigan State Basketball suffered a loss at the hands of Michigan yesterday at the Crisler Center. Here are 3 key takeaways from this game.

Michigan State lost yesterday to Michigan at the Crisler Center, 77-68. The Spartans suffered from yet another slow start in a ruckus, away crowd atmosphere. As a result, MSU moves to 16-8 overall and 8-5 in Big Ten Conference play.

Here are three key takeaways from this game.

1. Slow Starts Haunt MSU

Michigan State scored no more than five points in the first ten minutes of this game. Yes, this is a real statistic. The Spartans can no longer start games in such a slow manner. Especially when playing a rivalry game in an intense away game situation. MSU needs to make changes and needs a big scoring spark early on in games.

2. Sophomore Slump

Right now, Michigan State’s sophomores are in a brutal slump. In particular, Gabe Brown and Aaron Henry are struggling mightily against Big Ten opponents. Brown and Henry combined for 11 total points. Brown went 0/5 from the floor for a total of zero points whereas Henry scored 11 points on 3/8 shooting from the floor. There is still time left in the season but both players must contribute higher point totals.

3. Let’s Not Panic Just Yet

As I mentioned earlier this week, the Big Ten boasts some serious depth. Not to mention that Michigan hit its stride at the right time, adding Isaiah Livers back to their lineup against MSU. Livers contributed a smooth 14 points on 5/10 shooting in his return against the Spartans. Let’s not panic just yet, Michigan State still has time to figure things out.

The Spartans face off against Illinois next on Feb. 11, this upcoming Tuesday. The game takes place at 9 P.M and broadcasts live on ESPN.

No. 16 Michigan State Basketball vs Michigan: 5 Most Important Players

Michigan State Basketball plays interstate rival Michigan for the second time this season. Here are the 5 most important MSU players.

Michigan State and Michigan face off in their second basketball game of the season. This time, the Spartans play in the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor. In their last meeting, MSU beat the Wolverines 87-69.

Here are the five most important players in this game:

1. Aaron Henry

I will always include Aaron Henry on my five most important players. Michigan State needs Henry now more than ever before. Joshua Langford is not walking through that door. Joey Hauser is not walking through that door. Aaron Henry has the physical abilities and basketball IQ, he just needs to put everything together. There is still time left in the season.

2. Xavier Tillman

Xavier Tillman scored 16 points in the last two games. Simply put, he must score in double digits each and every game. MSU really lacks offensive depth right now due to Aaron Henry’s struggles and Joshua Langford’s injury. On a more positive note, Tillman has grabbed 25 rebounds in the past two games and has blocked six shots. He must provide a balanced performance against Michigan tomorrow.

3. Gabe Brown

Gabe Brown is supremely athletic but struggles to score at a consistent clip. Brown’s three-point shooting is crucial to the MSU offense. Right now, the Spartans desperately need more perimeter scoring. 18 points or more from Brown works wonders against the Wolverines this Saturday.

4. Marcus Bingham Jr.

Michigan Center Jon Teske is really pesky in low post situations. Marcus Bingham Jr. played well against Teske in their last matchup. Now, he must show up to play at a high level against Jon Teske yet again. Marcus Bingham Jr. is a core piece of MSU’s defense in each and every game.

5. Rocket Watts

Michigan boasts a good group of perimeter players. As a result, Rocket Watts must step up on both ends of the court. Watts will likely matchup against a talented guard on defense. On offense, he must help spark the Spartans during scoring droughts. Luckily, Rocket Watts is hitting his stride at the perfect time.

The Spartans and Wolverines play at 12 P.M. this Saturday on Fox. SpartansWire has all the MSU Basketball coverage you need and more.
