MSU basketball continues its path to coach Tom Izzo's 28th straight NCAA Tournament bid. Here's what seed Spartans are in bracketology projections.

Michigan State starting point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. was named the Big Ten Player of the Week for his impressive performances in the Spartans' two wins last week. Fears' strong play were critical in the Spartans picking up blowout wins over Oregon and Maryland this past week, and extend Michigan State's winning streak to six games.

Michigan State basketball moved up in the national rankings for the second straight week. After returning to the top 10 last week, the Spartans (18-2, 8-1 Big Ten) climbed three spots to No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25, which was released Monday. That ties their highest ranking of the season.
