The media recently singled out the Spartans as the team to beat in the Big Ten this year, even ahead of last year’s national championship runner up Ohio State and a tough Indiana team.  Even better, Drew Neitzel was chosen as the preseason conference player of the year on an all-conference team that highlights players from five different teams.  It’s the first time MSU has had a preseason conference player of the year since Mateen Cleaves back in 1999-2000 and we all know how that season went.

Neitzel can’t do it alone though but you have to believe with all of the starters coming back that the rest of the Spartans should all be on the same page.
