Michigan State went 22-9 (14-6), shared the Big Ten title with Wisconsin and Maryland, and swept the season series with Illinois a year ago. The second game, which was in Champaign, ended in heartbreak as Xavier Tillman dunked off of an offensive rebound to put the Spartans ahead for good. Ayo Dosunmu injured his knee on the next and final play of the game, adding insult to injury.
The Spartans lost their two best players from last year, Tillman and Cassius Winston, along with their second-best shooter in Kyle Ahrens.

With the unique G-League season, I’ve decided to make some minor changes to the weekly Hustle Reports. With everything virtual and the opportunity to write more recaps, those will be hyperlinked in the section above where the Hustle record is listed, instead of listing each game in breakdown format like I have done in years past. So if you’re looking for an in-depth breakdown on what happened the week prior, be sure to check out those recaps! Most everything else will stay the same as years prior but with the expectation that the following week’s previews will be longer with so many games in a short amount of time.
