The Michigan State women’s basketball team has gotten off to a solid start this season.

The Spartans are 2-0 with easy wins over Eastern Michigan and U of D Mercy. With that start MSU has risen to No. 16 in the latest AP poll. The Spartans were No. 17 in the preseason poll.

Oregon, Baylor, Stanford, UCONN and Texas A&M make up the current top five. Michigan State is the second-highest-ranked Big Ten team being No. 8 Maryland.

The Michigan State men’s basketball team’s run as the AP No. 1 team was short lived.

After losing to then-No. 2 Kentucky in the Champions Classic, the Spartans have slipped to No 3 in the latest AP poll. Kentucky–not a surprise–took over as the new No. 1 team with Duke also jumping the Spartans into the No. 2 spot.

The Spartans will now travel to take on No. 12 Seton Hall this Thursday in the Gavitt Tipoff Games.
