CBB national analyst praises Spartans following dominant win over Nebraska

Michigan State basketball looked dominant on Saturday afternoon, and it got the attention of at least one national analyst

Michigan State basketball looked dominant on Saturday afternoon, and it got the attention of at least one national analyst.

Michigan State made easy work of Nebraska on Saturday afternoon, winning by the final score of 89-52. Michigan State came into this game considered a slight favorite over the Cornhuskers, but they left that game with their being no doubt they were the better team.

The Spartans have now won six of their last seven games, with notable victories over North Carolina, Colorado, Nebraska and at Minnesota during the stretch. This recent strong play has college basketball national analyst Seth Davis giving the Spartans some praise.

Davis sent out a post on the social media platform X during the second half of Saturday’s game, stating Michigan State appears to be “considerably better than we thought.” Michigan State came into the season unranked in the preseason poll and still has yet to crack the Associate Press Top 25 as of this post (that will most likely change tomorrow when the rankings are updated).

At 8-2 overall and 2-0 in Big Ten play, it does seem like Michigan State may be a better team than many expected as Davis said. We will have to wait and see, though, as there is still plenty of games left on the schedule this season.

MSU Basketball at Nebraska: Stream, broadcast info, prediction for Sunday

Check out all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Cornhuskers

Michigan State basketball will head to Lincoln looking for its first Big Ten win of the season on Sunday night.

The Spartans will take on Nebraska on Sunday evening in a Big Ten matchup. Both Michigan State and Nebraska dropped their conference openers earlier this week and will be looking to get back to .500 in Big Ten play with a win on Sunday.

Michigan State has gotten off to a brutal start this year, with a 4-4 record. The Spartans lost by double-digits to Wisconsin earlier this week and are in desperate need of a win on Sunday.

Nebraska is also looking to get things going in the right direction again on Sunday. The Cornhuskers opened the season 7-0 but have dropped their last two games by double digits against Creighton and Minnesota — the first two solid teams Nebraska has faced this year.

Can Michigan State bounce back from another loss and earn its first Big Ten win of the year? Check out my prediction and all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Cornhuskers below:
