MSU Defeats Hillsdale 85-43 and Looks Different Doing It
The Final Four Is Not On The Schedule - A Podcast Discussing Michigan State Basketball.About this episode
October 25, 2023: Michigan State opened its season on a rainy night in East Lansing by hosting D2 Hillsdale in an exhibition matchup. The game went much as you'd hope for Spartan fans as MSU cruised to an easy win. Of note, the team looked a lot different in their style of play and the freshmen came in and looked further along than freshmen usually do at the beginning of the season. Although it is just a warmup before the real games begin, MSU showed some relentless defense and full court pressure. Perhaps of even more importance was the tenacious ball pressure and connected switching in the half court which stymied Hillsdale from getting any sort of offensive flow. It's easy to get carried away in an exhibition game against a D2 opponent but Michigan State looked further along in their cohesion than they usually do at this time of the year. Part of that certainly has to do with the experience and familiarity of the seniors. However, we think a lot has to do with the real quality depth that was added to the team with the freshmen class.
