It wasn’t a great season for Michigan State basketball, but this program showed that they still have a lot of fight and earned some tough wins in tournament play to finish off their season. Because of their efforts, the Spartans earned 35 votes in the final Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll of the 2021-22 NCAA Men’s Basketball season.
The Spartans finished the season with a 23-13 record (better than Michigan’s 19-15 record, who sits at No. 25, for what it’s worth) and gave Duke a run for their money before getting bounced out of the tournament.
