Michigan State men's basketball has had to travel to Mackey Arena in each of its last two seasons.
Michigan State men's basketball's toughest matchup within the Big Ten in recent years has been against Purdue, the conference's reigning outright champions.
In fact, Michigan State has had to travel to Mackey in each of the last two seasons, the very two seasons Purdue has dominated the Big Ten. One of those matchups was the Spartans' latest game against Purdue, a rather admirable outing for Michigan State, in which it fell 80-74. Fortunately for Michigan State, it will not have to travel to West Lafayette next season. While Spartans coach Tom Izzo is always up for a challenge, not having to go to a place that has served as your kryptonite in recent years has to be looked at as a major benefit.
With those two factors now out of the equation, the Spartans should have a great opportunity to break their losing streak against Purdue next season. Their last win over the Boilermakers came in Feb. 2022 at the Breslin Center.
