Is Michigan State basketball a legit national championship contender? One popular podcast recently discussed the likelihood of this happening and how the Spartans can end up cutting down the nets in Detroit next April.
The Field of 68, one of the most prominent national college basketball podcasts, recently discussed whether or not Michigan State is a true national championship contender this upcoming season. That question was met with plenty of reasons from the panel for why it’s possible and why Spartans fans should be excited this season.
Jeff Goodman stated during the roughly six-minute video that Spartans head coach Tom Izzo loves the team he has built and is excited about the group he’s carrying into the season. The panel also discussed how the return of All-American Jeremy Fears Jr. gives Michigan State the best point guard in the game, which keeps them relevant at the top of the country.
Ultimately, the panel agreed Michigan State is going to need some of their lesser known players to step up to help carry the weight from Fears and Coen Carr. But overall, it’s clear the Field of 68 crew is confident in what Michigan State has assembled heading into the season.
