Michigan State basketball has officially set up another pair of non-conference games on its 2026-27 schedule. This now means that seven of MSU's 12 non-conference games/slots for the coming season are filled in. Even if McCaffery a nameless, faceless coach, Penn is still a feisty "buy game." | Starr Portice, Michigan State Spartans on SIAs said earlier, there are now five remaining non-conference games for Michigan State to finalize. The previous number of non-con games was 11 for Big Ten teams, but college basketball is going to a 32-game schedule this season, making the number 12 now.
