How to Watch, Listen to MSU's Game at Minnesota
In this story:
Michigan State's resilience is set to be tested.
The 10th-ranked Spartans (19-3 overall, 9-2 Big Ten) are back in action after losing to then-No. 2 Michigan this past Friday. MSU has had four days to put itself back together and prepare for Wednesday's game against Minnesota (10-12, 3-8).
Even though the Golden Gophers' record isn't impressive, it doesn't necessarily show the quality of their team. Minnesota is actually coming in on a seven-game losing streak, but it has either been tied or has had a lead at one point in the second half in every single one of those games. Popular analytics site KenPom ranks teams on their "luck." The Golden Gophers are 347th out of 365 Division I teams.

More on the Gophers
Minnesota is still in a bit of the rebuilding process. The Golden Gophers fired previous coach Ben Johnson after going 15-17 overall last year, with a 7-13 conference record. Minnesota hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 2019 (where it lost to MSU in the second round), and this season will almost certainly be the program's ninth consecutive year with a losing record during Big Ten play.
This past offseason, the Gophers ended up getting former Colorado State head coach Niko Medved, who had led the Rams to March Madness three times in his last four years there. CSU reached the second round last year as a 12 seed and were also one stop away from the Sweet 16, but Maryland's Derik Queen hit a shot at the buzzer to end the Rams' season instead.
Leading the way now for Minnesota is Cade Tyson, who transferred in from North Carolina this past offseason. Tyson began at Belmont, where he averaged 15.0 points per game across two seasons there. He hardly played at UNC, though, and only averaged 2.6 points and 7.9 minutes per game last season.
Now, he's averaging 19.9 points per game at the Big Ten level. Tyson is fourth in the entire conference in scoring. He can really shoot it from deep, making 38.5% of his tries this season, with a career-wide number of 41.5%.
