Michigan State basketball listed in top 20 of CBS Sports’ 2022-23 preseason rankings

Michigan State basketball will contend for the Big Ten title next season in the eyes of CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish.

Parrish was one of many to release a batch of way-too-early preseason rankings for next season on Tuesday, and he has the Spartans as one of the top teams in the Big Ten next year. Parrish puts Michigan State at No. 18 in his rankings, and wrote the following about the Spartans:

The Spartans’ ranking is based on Michigan State returning seven of the top nine scorers from a team that advanced to the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament… If (Max) Christie is back, the hope would be that he takes a sophomore-year leap similar to the one Purdue’s Jaden Ivey and Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis made this season.

Michigan State comes in as the second-highest ranked team from the Big Ten in Parrish’s rankings behind only rival Michigan at No. 12. The other Big Ten teams ranked include Indiana (No. 19) and Purdue (No. 24).
