December 30, 2025: Next up for the Spartans is a return to league play with a road matchup against unbeaten Nebraska in Lincoln. The ‘Huskers are off to their best start in program history after claiming a number of high major scalps and beating the Illini in Champaign in Big Ten play. As a projected #3 seed right now, they will be a formidable foe for MSU.

Michigan State, however, is no slouch either as they enter the game with a 12-1 record and their one loss to top 5 ranked Duke. MSU has played a true road game at Penn State but this will obviously be a different sort of challenge with an historically live crowd and plenty on the line. Nebraska is a solid team ranked inside the top 40 in both offense and defense with their only weaknesses being their relatively poor 3 point shooting and middling rebounding.

This might be a game where the Spartans need to continue to find their range from 3 where they are averaging 45% away from the Breslin Center. Also, they probably need to get going on transition and get some second chance points to have a realistic opportunity to steal a Big Ten road win.
