Michigan State Stumbles in Upset Loss to Minnesota

Michigan State's basketball team experienced a critical setback on Wednesday, February 5, 2026, falling 76-73 to Minnesota. The Gophers, who had lost their previous seven games, controlled the contest from the outset. Michigan State never managed to take the lead throughout the game, marking their most significant loss of the season. The Spartans struggled defensively, particularly against Minnesota's 3-point shooting, which saw the Gophers hit 10 of 21 attempts.

Freshman Jordan Scott emerged as a lone bright spot for Michigan State, making his first career start and leading the team in scoring with 15 points. His performance may earn him additional starts, especially with former starter Divine Ugochukwu leaving the game due to a foot injury. The Spartans must quickly regroup as they prepare to host No. 6 Illinois at the Breslin Center on Saturday, February 8, 2026.
