Moneyball has officially come to an end which means that we’re in the final stretch before the 2026-27 Michigan State basketball season finally begins. Cam Ward told the media last night at Moneyball that Michigan State has another big game that hasn’t been announced yet. He said that Michigan State had some big exhibition games as well as a few big-time regular-season games, including one that hasn’t been announced yet. I didn’t really know where to begin when guessing who Michigan State’s mystery non-conference opponent might be, so I looked at some preseason Top 25 projections. Michigan State faced Arizona as recently as 2023 on Thanksgiving so there’s familiarity there for a standalone non-conference game.
