January 27, 2026: The Spartans looked like they were playing in a trap game when they visited Rutgers on a snowy Tuesday night before their matchup against rival Michigan on Friday night. Turnovers was the name of the game as the Spartans committed 15 of them to only 5 by Rutgers. A 9 point deficit at half time was almost too much for MSU to overcome and they got the lead down to one possession and a tie but still need a three out of the corner by Divine Ugochukwu to force the game to overtime.

But the overtime was a different game as MSU took control early in the extra stanza behind 5 from Kohler and then Fears dominating both in the lane and at the free throw line. And then it was a Rutgers teams who suddenly were missing all the shots they were hitting earlier in the game and they faded away giving up an 18-6 run.
