Michigan State Basketball: 3 biggest concerns heading into 2020-21

Michigan State basketball is fresh off its third straight Big Ten regular season title, but it’s going to be tough to four-peat. And here’s why.

When the NCAA announced that college basketball was making its return in late-November, fans, coaches and players rejoiced because it’s been the longest offseason ever.

The NCAA Tournament was cancelled back in March and that news came shortly after most conference tournaments were “postponed” and then called off. It was a rough time to be a fan of the sport as March Madness — or as some call it, Christmas — was ripped from our grasps. Filling out brackets and being huge homers usually makes for a perfect month, at least until our favorite teams lose and our brackets are busted.

Michigan State is fresh off its third straight Big Ten title and it was playing its best basketball at the end of the 2019-20 season before the NCAA Tournament was cancelled and that’s why it hurt so much to hear that news.
