SHAKE-UP: Michigan State, Washington going through WILD off-seasons; Can MSU basketball top Huskies?

MSU Spartans and Washington Huskies battle roster upheaval and coaching drama ahead of their key basketball showdown. Can either program overcome a turbulent football offseason while strengthening for Big Ten competition?

Matt Sheehan and Roman Tomashoff spotlight Michigan State’s extensive transfer portal activity, the need to rebuild core units like offensive line and running backs, and the arrival of Pat Fitzgerald to reenergize Spartan football. On Washington’s side, quarterback DeMond Williams Jr.’s headline-grabbing return and massive roster turnover have fans questioning locker room unity under coach Jedd Fisch. Shifting to basketball, discussion centers on Washington’s injury-riddled, underappreciated squad, Michigan State’s relentless defense and rebounding, and X-factors that could decide Saturday’s matchup. Will three-point woes doom the Huskies, or can rising stars like Bryson Tucker spark an upset?
